Cricket - Uncyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) Cricket terminology is a peculiar dialect, consisting of words that sound like English but make little to no sense to non-cricketers. Their most famous cricketing moment came when Aamir Khan led a team of nonedescript villagers to a great win over an English team in 1837, after which they recieved tax rebates for 3 years (which they are making up for over the last 180 years).

CRICKET Once ten of the eleven players of the batting team have been dismissed (i.e., ten wickets have been taken) the team is said to be 'All Out' and their innings comes to an end. In other forms of cricket, if a player gets injured or becomes ill during a match, a substitute is allowed to field instead of him; though he cannot bowl, bat, or act as a captain or wicket-keeper. One-day matches, also known as limited overs or instant cricket, were introduced in English domestic cricket in the 1960s due to the growing demands for a shorter and more dramatic form of cricket to stem the decline in attendances. www.solarnavigator.net /sport/cricket.htm   (4711 words)

Cricket History   (Site not responding.

Nor is there any evidence as to when points were awarded dependent upon how far the hitter was able to despatch the missile; nor when helpers joined the two-player contest, thus beginning the evolution into a team game; nor when the defining concept of placing wickets at either end of the pitch was adopted.

ICC clears the air on boundary disputes- International Cricket-News-Sections-Indiatimes - Cricket   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) In a protocol issued to all the umpires in the ICC Elite Panel, the International Cricket Council has effectively stated that the benefit of doubt should go to the fielder if there was confusion over whether the catch was taken inside the boundary. ICC General Manager Cricket David Richardson said the confusion in Antigua arose over whether the third umpire was required to adjudicate on a boundary or a dismissal. The decision on the boundary must be made using the existing convention in cricket and the boundary and run out issues should be dealt with as separate considerations, the ICC said. cricket.indiatimes.com /articleshow/1647743.cms   (539 words)

Wicket-keeper Geraint Jones hinted that he knew Jayawardene had not gloved the ball for what was given as his 100th Test dismissal. news.bbc.co.uk /go/rss/-/sport1/hi/cricket/england/4771135.stm   (398 words)

The Steve Waugh dismissal Captain Steve Waugh, playing his last series before retiring, was dismissed without scoring after stepping on his stumps. Many former Australian players were horrified that Martyn chose to sacrifice his wicket for his captain, for sentimentality has no place in the Australian cricketing lexicon. Waugh, who needs 515 runs in his final four matches to pass Allan Border as cricket's leading test run-scorer, fended a short-pitched delivery from Khan to fine leg but clipped the off-stump with his right heel as he set off on a run. www.cricketfundas.com /stevegabba2.htm   (229 words)

Sachin's dismissal most satisfying: Naved : Cricket News : IndiaExpress.Com He dismissed the explosive opener Virender Sehwag four times in the just-concluded one-day series against India, but it was the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar that gave Pakistani seamer Rana Naved-ul Hasan the maximum satisfaction.

The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Sport I believe it was very unsporting of the Indian cricket team to successfully appeal for obstructing the field against Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and that too at a very crucial stage of the first one-day international at Peshawar. If a man after playing international cricket for 16 years can’t understand the laws, what message he is passing on to the next generation of players present in the dressing room or knocking at the doors of international cricket. The incident is also an eye opener for the cricket establishment and if it can have refresher and written exams for the domestic umpires and match referees, it can start similar tests for the first-class cricketers so that when they enter the international arena, they exactly know the laws and its interpretations. www.tribuneindia.com /2006/20060209/sports.htm   (3992 words)

The lazily elegant art of the soft dismissal || Indian Cricket Fever - Unofficial Indian Cricket News and Views It's no wonder that his career stats make for some dismal reading in comparison to a number of his peers, or the runs he could easily have gotten with his talent. 7 hundreds and 20 fifties out of 60-odd games, with a number of pointless, self inflicted dismissals have done his run aggregate and form no good - and perhaps ten years from now, when statisticians look back upon his career, there won't be much worth going over.
