	Cricket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cricket is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies.
		Cricket was prominent in London as early as 1707 and large crowds flocked to matches on the Artillery Ground in Finsbury.
		Kwik cricket is a form of the sport where the bowler does not have to wait for the batsman to be ready before a delivery, leading to a faster, more exhausting game which is often used in school PE lessons.

		Grimmett became so enamoured with the delivery that he bowled it at times almost as frequently as his stock leg break.
		Sachin Tendulkar (additional info and facts about Sachin Tendulkar) is a classic example of a batsman that can read them out of the hand very well: he is seldom troubled by Warne's flipper, although Tendulkar has such amazing eyesight, reflexes, and footwork that he may be able to adjust his shot anyway.
		Much of the effectiveness of the flipper is attributable to the "pop"—that is, the extra pace and change in trajectory that is imparted to the ball when it is squeezed out of the bowler's hand.

	Flipper (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flipper is the name of a particular bowling delivery used in cricket, generally by a leg spin bowler.
		A series of normal leg spinners or topspinners, with their dropping looping flight, will have the batsman used to the ball pitching on a shorter length.
		The Australian leg spinner Bob Holland employed a back spinning ball that he simply pushed backwards with the heel of his palm, akin to what would now be referred to as a "zooter".

	Cricinfo - Cricket explained
		The most serious misconduct in a cricket match is of the order of a rude gesture to an opponent or throwing the ball into the ground in disgust.
		A delivery may also be aborted by the striker stepping away from his stumps, if distracted by an insect or dust in the eye, for example.
		Such a delivery is called a leg-cutter if the ball moves from the leg side to the off side of a right-handed batsman, or an off-cutter if moves from the off to the leg.

		The longer the delivery stride becomes - the harder it is to bowl over a braced front leg (A braced front leg is determined by having a constant knee angle during the release of the cricket ball).
		Short delivery strides can cause their own problems, but none of the sixty bowlers in the opinion of the author had too small a delivery stride.

	The Biomechanics of Illegal Bowling Actions in Cricket
		Two examples would be (i) a medium-pace bowler who consistently varies the pace of delivery throughout the over, and (ii) a bowler who releases the ball at a speed around the border of two neighbouring speed groups, such as the slow and medium group, or the fast and fast medium-group.
		The qualitative basis of this theory was established in Marshall and Ferdinands (2003) by using a simple two-link model of the upper arm and forearm to calculate the change in wrist speed as (i) a function of effective lever length, and (ii) the wrist distance from the internal rotation axis of the humerus (Figure 10).
		The conclusion was that bowlers who could maintain a flexed arm through delivery either consciously or due to an elbow abnormality either of the fixed flexion or carry angle type had the potential to achieve substantially higher wrist speeds through the use of humerus internal rotation.

		Incidentally, if proof were needed that cricket is the natural game of the pedant, the MCC sees fit to state in the laws that if the ball hits the the wicket by way of the pad, even if it satisfies the criteria for an lbw, the batsman is out bowled, not lbw.
		The resulting personal fitness sustained him in Test cricket to the age of 41, but his insistence that others share his approach brought a premature and controversial end to the career of David Gower, and his over-use of Angus Fraser in 1990-1 contributed to the hip injury that cost Fraser two years of cricket.

	Backyard cricket.
		The rules of backyard and beach cricket are as fluid as the waves on an ocean shore which will snatch the ball from off the very pitch itself; so what follows are the myths and legends by which we play.
		Underarm delivery should be used when the batter is very young, as it allows the bowler to control the ball in a manner which will allow the inexperienced batter to get the feel of the game.
		By the same token, backyard cricket is equally good for the dog, giving it some excitement, exercise, and a feeling of oneness with the family.

		The difference the batsmen fail to realise between the two deliveries is that the Mystery Ball' is that it is bowled from the top of the hand rather than the front and also extra invert is put into the wrist.

	Murali ready to discard debatable delivery after ICC warning -DAWN - Sport; 13 May, 2004
		COLOMBO, May 12: Test cricket's bowling record-holder Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka on Wednesday hinted he will drop the controversial 'doosra' delivery from his armoury after it was deemed illegal by the sport's world governing body.
		Sri Lankan cricket authorities on Wednesday confirmed they had asked the off-spinner not to bowl the 'doosra', a delivery which spins away from the right-handers instead of coming into them like a normal off-break.
		But Muralitharan, with 521 wickets in 89 Tests, is unlikely to continue with the controversial delivery in Friday's second Test at Bulawayo following a ICC statement on Tuesday that it supported the SLC's decision to tell the bowler not to bowl the 'doosra' delivery.

		Now, after the first stage of the bowling review process had been completed, ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed said the report forwarded to him by Sri Lankan Cricket but compiled by the University of Western Australia, meant the doosra could no longer be tolerated.
		Speed said that he hoped that the action by Sri Lankan Cricket in recognising that the delivery did not comply with the ICC regulations would prevent Muralitharan being reported again for this delivery.

	Muralitharan told to stop bowling 'doosra' : Cricket News : IndiaExpress.Com
		Just three days after he became the world's highest wicket taker, off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan has received a major jolt with the International Cricket Council deeming his controversial 'doosra' as illegal and upholding Sri Lankan cricket board's decision to prevent him from using the delivery in further matches.
		The spin wizard would now have to drop the delivery from his armoury or be prepared to face a ban of one year if he is reported for suspect bowling action again in the next 12 months.
		ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed, in a statement issued in London yesterday, said the governing body supported the Sri Lankan board's decision to stop the bowler from bowling the 'doosra' as it exceeded the degree of tolerance allowed for a bowler.
