The odd one out is Billiards.
Cricket, Hockey, and Fencing are all team sports, while Billiards is an individual sport.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the center of which is a 22-yard (20-meter) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the bowler, “bowls” (propels) the ball from one end of the pitch towards the wicket at the other end. The batting side has one player at each end of the pitch, with the player at the opposite end of the pitch from the bowler aiming to strike the ball with a bat. The batting side scores runs when either the bowler unfairly bowls the ball to either side of the wicket (unfairly throwing the ball is referred to as a “wide”), or alternatively when the ball reaches the boundary of the field. The fielding side’s aim is to prevent run-scoring and dismiss each player (so they are “out”, and are said to have “lost their wicket”). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the wicket and either dislodges the bails or knocks the wicket over, being caught, when a fielder catches the ball after it has been hit by the bat, and run out, when a fielder hits the wicket with the ball while the batting side is attempting to run between the two ends of the pitch.
Hockey is a team sport in which two teams play against each other by trying to maneuver a ball or puck into the other team’s goal using a hockey stick. The game can be played on ice, grass, or artificial turf, but the most common variation is field hockey. Field hockey is played by two teams of eleven players each who use hockey sticks to maneuver a ball into the other team’s goal. The team that scores more goals by the end of the game wins.
Fencing is a physical activity involving the use of a sword. It is a combat sport that has been practiced for centuries. Fencing is a very technical sport that requires a lot of skill and practice. There are three main types of fencing: foil, épée, and sabre. Foil is the lightest type of fencing weapon and is used to score points by touching the opponent with the tip of the weapon. Ãpée is a heavier weapon than foil and is used to score points by touching the opponent with the entire blade. Sabre is the heaviest type of fencing weapon and is used to score points by cutting the opponent with the blade.
Billiards is a family of cue sports that includes carom billiards, pool, and snooker. The game is played on a rectangular table with six pockets at each end. The object of the game is to pocket balls using a cue stick.
