 STUMPS: To continue a cricket match need 2 set stumps, per set included 3 stumps. Stumps are made of wood from willow tree. Each wicket on the pitch consists of three wooden stumps placed vertically, in line with one another.

BAILS:Stumps are surmounted by two wooden crosspieces called bails; the total height of the wicket including bails is 28.5 inches (720 mm) and the combined width of the three stumps, including small gaps between them is 9 inches (230 mm).
*stumps and bails are equally called wicket.

The creases must be 22 yards (20 m) apart. A bowling crease is 8 feet 8 inches (2.64 m) long, with the middle stump placed dead centre. The popping crease has the same length, is parallel to the bowling crease and is 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of the wicket. The return creases are perpendicular to the other two; they are adjoined to the ends of the popping crease and are drawn through the ends of the bowling crease to a length of at least 8 feet (2.4 m). When bowling the ball, the bowler's back foot in his "delivery stride" must land within the two return creases while at least some part of his front foot must land on or behind the popping crease. If the bowler breaks this rule, the umpire calls "No BALL".
The importance of the popping crease to the batsman is that it marks the limit of his safe territory. He can be dismissed stumped or run out  if the wicket is broken while he is "out of his ground".
