Vigoro is an Australian game for women that resembles both cricket and baseball. Vigoro is played with a paddlelike bat and a ball, on an area called a pitch 58 feet (17.7 meters) long with stumps at each end. If the batter hits the ball outside a boundary called the batting crease, she must run. There are 12 players in a team. Two members of the team are bowlers, who bowl alternately. Vigoro differs from cricket in that there are no overs (an over consists of a fixed number of balls delivered from one end of the pitch). One bowler uses a white ball, the other uses a red ball. Field placings are similar but not identical to those in cricket. Neither bowler is allowed to field a ball from the other bowler. Matches consist of two innings, and the scoring follows cricket rules.
