Bete-ombro

Bete-ombro, also known as bets, tacobol, pau na lata,[1][2] or taco (all of these names having a word meaning "bat" in them), is a Brazilian bat-and-ball game[3] closely related to cricket.

The batting team runs between two wickets, which are generally plastic bottles (or more reminiscent of cricket, three small wooden sticks propped up so that they all lean on each other),[6] while the fielding team can run out batters by hitting a wicket with the ball before the closest batter reaches it.

[7][8] Taco has been credited with helping to grow and influence women's cricket in Brazil.

The batter may try to hit the ball; if he misses, he must place his bat in his crease to avoid being stumped (unlike cricket, the batter's body can't be used for this purpose),[15] which is generally a circle drawn on the ground in front of the wicket.

[20] In some parts of Brazil, the expression "largar os betes" (to drop the bats) is used to mean "to give up".
