See also [[Bat & Ball railway station]] and [[Bat & Ball Inn, Clanfield]].'''''Bat-and-ball games''' (or ''safe haven games'' to avoid confusion with the club games like [[golf]] and [[hockey]]) are [[playing field|field]] [[game|games]] played by two teams. The teams alternate between "batting" and "fielding" roles, sometimes called "in at bat" and "out in the field", or simply in and out. Only the batting team may score, so the fielding team is defending, but they have equal chances in both roles. The game is counted rather than timed.A player on the fielding team puts the ball in play with a delivery whose restriction depends on the game. A player on the batting team attempts to strike the delivered ball, commonly with a "bat", which is a club governed by the rules of the game.After striking the ball, the batter may become a runner trying to reach a "base" or safe haven. While in contact with a base, the runner is safe from the fielding team and in a position to score runs. Leaving a safe haven places the runner in danger of being put out. The teams switch roles when the fielding team puts the batting ''team'' out, which varies by game.In modern baseball the fielders put three ''players'' out; in cricket they retire all players but one.Some games permit multiple runners and some have multiple bases to run in sequence. Batting may occur, and running begin, at one of the bases. The movement between those "safe havens" is governed by the rules of the particular game.Globally, [[cricket]] and [[baseball]] are the two most popular games in the family.==List of bat-and-ball games==* [[Baseball]]* [[Bat-and-Trap]]* [[British baseball]] - four posts* [[Brännboll]] - four bases* [[Corkball]] - four bases (no base-running)* [[Cricket]] - two wickets** [[Test cricket]]** [[First-class cricket]]** [[Blind cricket]]** [[Catchy Shubby Cricket|Catchy Shubby]]** [[Club cricket]]** [[French cricket]]** [[Gilli-danda]]** [[Kilikiti]]** [[One Day International]]** [[Kwik cricket]]** [[List A cricket]]** [[Pro40]]** [[Indoor Cricket]]** [[Limited overs cricket]]** [[Short form cricket]]** [[Single Wicket]]** [[Twenty20]]* [[Crocker (sport)]];* [[Danish longball]]* [[Lapta (game)|Lapta]] - two salos (bases)* [[The Massachusetts Game]] - four bases* [[Oina]]* [[Old Cat]] (One old cat, Two old cat, etc.) - variable* [[Over-the-line]] - qv* [[Pesäpallo]] - four bases* [[Rounders]] - four bases or posts run anti clock wise* [[Scrub baseball]] - four bases (not a team game ''per se'')* [[Softball]] - four bases* [[Stickball]] - variable* [[Stool ball]] - two stools* [[Tee Ball|T-Ball]]* [[Town ball]] - variable* [[Vigoro]] - two wickets* [[Wiffle Ball]]* [[Wireball]]Striking the ball with a "bat" or any type of stick is not crucial.

[http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA03411]]]'''Fiji''' is a group of [[volcano|volcanic]] [[island]]s in the South [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]], lying about 4,450&nbsp;km (2,775&nbsp;mi) southwest of [[Honolulu, Hawaii|Honolulu]] and 1,770&nbsp;km (1,100&nbsp;mi) north of [[New Zealand]]. Of the 322 islands and 522 smaller islets making up the [[archipelago]], about 106 are permanently inhabited. [[Viti Levu]], the largest island, covers about 57 % of the nation's land area, hosts the two official [[Local government of Fiji|cities]] (the [[Capital (political)|capital]] [[Suva]], and [[Lautoka]]) and most other major towns, such as [[Ba Town|Ba]], [[Nasinu]], and [[Nadi]] (the site of the international airport), and contains some 69 % of the population. [[Vanua Levu]], 64&nbsp;km to the north of Viti Levu, covers just over 30 % of the land area though is home to only some 15 % of the population. Its main towns are [[Labasa]] and [[Savusavu]]. In the northeast it features [[Natewa Bay]], carving out the [[Loa]] peninsula.Both islands are mountainous, with peaks up to 1300 m rising abruptly from the shore, and covered with [[tropical forest]]s. Heavy rains (up to 304&nbsp;cm or 120 inches annually) fall on the windward (southeastern) side, covering these sections of the islands with dense tropical forest. [[Lowland]]s on the western portions of each of the main islands are sheltered by the mountains and have a well-marked [[dry season]] favorable to crops such as [[sugarcane]].Other islands and island groups, which cover just 12.5 % of the land area and house some 16 % of the population, include [[Taveuni]] southeast off [[Vanua Levu]] and [[Kadavu Island]], south off [[Viti Levu]] (the third and fourth largest islands respectively), the [[Mamanuca Islands|Mamanuca Group]] (just off [[Nadi]]) and [[Yasawa Islands|Yasawa Group]] (to the north of the Mamanucas), which are popular [[tourist]] destinations, the [[Lomaiviti|Lomaiviti Group]] (just off Suva) with [[Levuka]], the former capital and the only major town on any of the smaller islands, located on the island of [[Ovalau (Fiji)|Ovalau]], and the remote [[Lau Islands|Lau Group]] over the [[Koro Sea]] to the east near Tonga, from which it is separated by the [[Lakeba Passage]].Two outlying regions are [[Rotuma]], 400 km to the north, and the uninhabited coral atoll and [[cay]] [[Ceva-i-Ra]] or Conway Reef, 450 km to the southwest of main Fiji. Culturally conservative Rotuma with its 2000 people on 44 km<sup>2</sup> [[geography|geographically]] belongs to [[Polynesia]], and enjoys relative autonomy as a Fijian [[Dependent territory|dependency]].[[Fiji Television]] reported on 21 September 2006 that the [[Fiji Islands Maritime and Safety Administration]] (FIMSA), while reviewing its outdated maritime charts, had discovered the possibility that more islands could lie within Fiji's [[Exclusive Economic Zone]].More than half of Fiji's population lives on the island coasts, either in Suva or in smaller urban centers. The interior is sparsely populated because of its rough terrain.==Statistics==; Location:: Oceania, island group in the South Pacific Ocean; [[Geographic coordinates]]:: {{coord|18|00|S|179|00|E|type:country}}; Map references:: Oceania; Area::* Total: 18 274 km²:* Land: 18 274 km²<ref>http://www.sopac.org/Fiji</ref>:* Water: 0 km²; Area - comparative:: Slightly smaller than [[New Jersey]]; slightly less than one third [[Nova Scotia]]'s size; slightly smaller than [[Wales]]; Land boundaries:: 0 km; Coastline:: 1 129 km; Maritime claims::* Measured from claimed archipelagic baselines:* Continental shelf: 200-m depth or to the depth of exploitation; rectilinear shelf claim added:* Exclusive economic zone: 200 [[Nautical mile|nm]]:* Territorial sea: Fiji comprises 12 nm; Climate:: Tropical marine; only slight seasonal temperature variation; Terrain::* Mostly mountains of volcanic origin, beautiful{{Peacock term|date=May 2011}} beaches; Elevation extremes::* Lowest point: Pacific Ocean 0 m:* Highest point: [[Mount Tomanivi]] 1 324 m; Natural resources:: [[Timber]], [[fish]], [[gold]], [[copper]], offshore [[petroleum|oil]] potential, hydropower; Land use::* Arable land: 10%:* Permanent crops: 4%:* Permanent pastures: 10%:* Forests and woodland: 65%:* Other: 11% (1993 est.); Irrigated land:: 30 km² (2003 est.); Natural hazards:: Cyclonic storms can occur from November to January; Environment - current issues:: Deforestation; soil erosion; Environment - international agreements::* Party to: Biodiversity, Climate Change, Climate Change-Kyoto Protocol, Desertification, Endangered Species, Law of the Sea, Marine Life Conservation, Nuclear Test Ban, Ozone Layer Protection, Tropical Timber 83, Tropical Timber 94:* Signed, but not ratified: None of the selected agreements; Geography - note:: Includes 844 islands and islets of which approximately 106 are inhabited== Extreme points ==This is a list of the extreme points of [[Fiji]], the points that are farther north, south, east or west than any other location.* Northern-most point – [[Uae Island]], [[Rotuma]], [[Eastern Division, Fiji|Eastern Division]]* Eastern-most point – [[Vatoa Island]], [[Eastern Division, Fiji|Eastern Division]]* Southern-most point – [[Tuvana-i-Tholo]] island, [[Eastern Division, Fiji|Eastern Division]]* Western-most point - [[Viwa Island]], [[Western Division, Fiji|Western Division]]==Antipodes==The [[antipodes]] of Fiji are in eastern [[Mali]], around the northernmost bend of the [[Niger River]].
