	rediff.com: cricket channel - What cricket has and baseball doesn’t
		On the other hand in cricket, the batsman has to judge the line and the bounce of the ball correctly and in a fraction of second has to decide the most suitable shot for that particular ball.
		In cricket, the batsman can decide when he wants to take a run whereas in baseball the batters often have to commit ‘hara-kiri’, thanks to the ridiculous rule of running as soon as the batter makes contact with the ball.
		On the other hand cricket may not be as popular as soccer but it has an international standing and at present apart from the 10 Test-playing nations there are over 120 associate nations that form the ever growing cricket community.

	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.
		In doing so the flipper will float on towards the batsman and land on a fuller length than he anticipated, often leaving him caught on the back foot when he wrongly assumes it to be a pullable or a cuttable ball.
		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.

		A cricket field is a roughly elliptical field of flat grass, ranging in size from about 90 to 150 metres (100-160 yards) across, bounded by an obvious fence or other marker.

	Flipper is ready to tweak havoc - Cricket - Fox Sports
		In a warning which is sure to have the tourists sweating, the champion leg spinner has vowed to unleash the wicked under-spinner in his first over of the series opener, beginning Thursday at the Gabba.
		Warne spent years earlier in his career developing the flipper, a delivery that Cricket Australia had banned from junior coaching manuals because of the stress it creates on the bowling hand.
		The flipper can now safely sit alongside the zooter (a straight ball delivered out of the back of the hand), the slider (a straight ball delivered from the front of the hand), the conventional top-spinner, a wrong-un and the leg spinner, which can be imparted with little or maximum spin.

		Cricket 07 seems to be geared more towards batting than bowling--it's easy to come up with high scores if you're patient, look for obvious gaps, and keep big shots to a minimum.
		Cricket 07 features the commentating pair of Mark Nicholas and Richie Benaud, with Nicholas also serving as the voice for all of the in-game tutorials.

		Leg spin is a bit of a throwback to the early part of the twentieth century when leg spinners were almost ten a penny.
		Not only will this now never be beaten, but it also suggests that English batsmen were as bad at playing leg spin in the 1920s as they are renowned to be today.
		Leg spin was in the doldrums in world cricket until Shane Warne came on the scene in 1990 with his beach-boy image, vicious leg spin and exceptional accuracy.

		The problem with the flipper is that the mechanics are different to every other ball bowled by a leg-spinner.
		The flipper, on the other hand is delivered under the hand and fingers with a flicking action virtually the same as clicking your thumb and second finger together to obtain a clicking noise.

		Despite the inauspicious start to his Test career, he has since revolutionised cricket thinking with his mastery of leg spin, which many cricket fans had regarded as a dying art.
		He is also noted for his exuberant (and sometimes effective) lower-order batting, once famously being dismissed for 99 with a reckless shot when a Test century beckoned, on what was later shown to be a no ball.
		At the time when spin was dying a slow death, he showed to the World what real talent is all about and in the bargain the whole world got to see some masterpieces from this magician.

		It just isnât cricket unless you can have your quicks bouncing, yorking and otherwise terrorising the batsman at one end while you have Warnie picking from a smorgasbord of tricks at the other.

	Warne hopes flipper puts English through hoops - Cricket - Sport - theage.com.au
		THOSE close to Shane Warne have hailed the return of his favourite party trick, the flipper, a delivery they believe will take up residence in the minds of England's batsmen this summer and, importantly, remind the great leg spinner of the joy he derived from it in his youth.
		Warne took 40 wickets in last year's Ashes and hardly used the flipper, perhaps because the the variations of his leg break were working so beautifully.
		Jenner said Warne's willingness to use the famous flipper was an indication that his confidence was high heading into the Ashes — a message he doubtless hoped would travel across the globe as the England players steal a few days at home with their families before leaving for Sydney on Friday.

		In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Woolmer said he held his view long before his bowlers were accused of breaking the rule.

		A cricket ground or the field is a roughly elliptical field of flat grass, ranging in size from about 90 to 150 metres (100-160 yards) across, bounded by an obvious fence or other marker.
		Right handed spinners fall into two classes: off-spinners, with their simple off-spin and arm-ball deliveries; and leg-spinners, with their leg-spinners, top-spinners, wrong 'uns, and flippers.
		In this case, the wicket does not need to be broken by uprooting a stump, and the umpires must take full responsibility for deciding, in a reasonable manner, whether the wicket is broken or not.

	Warne warms to Ashes - Cricket - Sport - theage.com.au
		Warne produced his 33rd five-wicket haul in Test cricket, but only his second against the West Indies, to induce an embarrassing collapse in the Caribbean side's lower order, his mesmerising display featuring regular use of his googly and once-devastating flipper.
		After the West Indies were bowled out for 210, and Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden went on to score powerful second-innings centuries, Australia last night led by 508 runs and was pondering a declaration overnight with two days to play.
		Warne said the revival of his flipper and wrong 'un could be explained by the fact he had been injury free since 2001, and recovered fully from his previous finger and shoulder operations.
