Eagl - There are 11 men on each team.  They bat in order 1-11, with two men batting at any one time.

Number 11 is significant in this case because number 11 bats LAST.  Number 11 batsmen are not expected to score runs, they are 99.9% of the time bowling specialists.  But, everyone has to bat, there is no designated hitter bs in cricket.
