| Note | FIVE WICKETS FOR A BALL! Overnight score: Battling side six wickets down. Venue: Kensington, England. At the end of the first day's play, the batting side had lost six wickets. When play resumed on the following morning, the seventh batsman hadn't arrived at the vanue, because he'd boarded the bus to Kennington instead of Kensington. The umpire promptly ruled him out, and one wicked had fallen with-out a single ball being bowled. Batsmen no. 8 and 9 took the wicket. The first ball of the day was a no-ball which the batsman struck and set off for a run. The ball was stopped, and the batsman run out. By now two wickets were down. And officially, not a single ball had been bowled yet. The next ball was hit hard by the batsman. The ball bonked the other batsman on the head, bounced off, and was caught. So two men returned to the pavilion: the batsman, and injured batsman. Now four men were out, and only one ball had been bowled yet. All in all, nine wickets had fallen so far, and the last man arrived at the crease but was ruled out as there was no one left to bat with him. With that, the two sides returned to the pavilion to have a blast! PEPSI Nothing Official About it! OUT TWICE ON THE SAME BALL! And then there's the batsman who was out twice on the same ball. The bowler's fast-paced ball struck the bat so hard, the bat split in two. The handle of the bat remained securely in the batsman's grip, while the rest of it went flying through the air, and knocked down the bails. And the ball landed comfortably in the hands of a slip fielder after striking the bat. Apart from being out twice on the same ball, the batsman was embarrassed because nobody in the fielding side bothered to appeal! 1277 DOS AND DON'TS! OK. So it's a gentleman's sport. The official colour is white. And there are two umpires to keep the decorum. Everybody is on their best behavior. The shoes are polished, and so are the manners. Cricket is on the official curriculum of every public school. The rule book lists 1277 dos and don'ts. Officially, the grass is no more than 2 inches long. And it's always a deep green. But why be so serious, stiff-collared, prim, proper, and official about something you enjoy?!! The question being asked in cricketing circles today, is: Is cricket fun? Well it is, if you look at the unofficial side of cricket. It's Official. The Wills World Cup is about to begin … OFFICIAL CAP OFFICIAL BALL OFFICIAL GRIN OFFICIAL BUTTON OFFICIAL DRINK OFFICIAL BICEPT OFFICIAL POCKET OFFICIAL STANCE OFFICIAL STRAP OFFICIAL SHOELACE |
