The bowler bowls the ball in sets of six deliveries (or "balls") and each set of six balls is called an
over.
This name came about because the umpire calls "Over!" when six balls
have been bowled. At this point, another bowler is deployed at the other
end, and the fielding side changes ends while the batsmen do not. A
bowler cannot bowl two successive overs, although a bowler can bowl
unchanged at the same end for several overs. The batsmen do not change
ends and so the one who was non-striker is now the striker and
vice-versa. The umpires also change positions so that the one who was at
square leg now stands behind the wicket at the non-striker's end and
vice-versa.
