Don't miss the LAST ONE
Cheers,
"Man, it don't matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero."
-Viv Richards to Sunil Gavaskar at Madras 1983. Gavaskar had decided to
relinquish his opening position and come in at no 4 for that test. But,
Malcolm Marshall fired out Anshuman Gaekwad and Dilip Vengsarkar for ducks,
setting the stage for Gavaskar to walk in at 0/2.And he thought there would
be less pressure!
*********************************************************
Greg Thomas was bowling to Viv Richards in a county game.
Viv missed a superb outswinger, and Thomas said "It's red, round and weighs
about 5 1/2 ounces."
Next ball Viv hits Greg Thomas out of the ground for a 6 and replies,"Greg,
you know what it looks like. Go ahead and find it!"
***********************************************************
Fred Trueman bowling. The batsman edges and the ball goes to first slip, and
right between Raman Subba Row's legs. Fred doesn't say a word. At the end of
the over, Row ambles past Trueman and apologises sheepishly. "I should've
kept my legs together, Fred". The reply is classic Trueman, "Not you son,
Your mother should've!"
***********************************************************
Then there's this wicketkeeper who quitely asked the new batsman:"So how's
your wife, and my kids?" Guess who.........Rod Marsh....to Ian Botham!!
***********************************************************
New Zealand vs South Africa: Daryll Cullinan was batting, attempting a
comeback from a complete bamboozling from Warne in earlier games. Cullinan
played the first ball from Chris Harris very carefully back down the pitch,
and keeper Parore yelled out "Well bowled Warnie!"
***********************************************************
Australia fighting for a win nearing the end of a Test Match, Fred Trueman
at the crease. The Aus captain has plenty of close in fielders, whose
shadows fall on the wicket. Fredie finds this objectionable. 'Ere, if you
lads don't back off, I'll appeal for bad light!"
***********************************************************
T he best one
(Incident described in "From the Pavilion End" by Harold "Dickie" Bird)
"Bomber" Wells, a spin bowler and great character, played for
Glocuestershire and Nottinghamshire. He used to bat at No.11 since one
couldn't bat any lower. Of him, they used to paraphrase Compton's famous
words describing an equally inept runner; "When he shouts 'YES' for a run,
it is merely the basis for further negotiations!" Incidentally, Compton was
no better. John Warr said, of Compton "He was the only person who would call
you for a run and wish you luck at the same time." Anyway, when Wells played
for Gloucs, he had an equally horrendous runner as the No.10. During a
county match, horror of horrors.......both got injured.
*Both* opted for runners when it was their turn to bat.
Bomber played a ball on the off, called for a run, forgot he had a runner
and ran himself. Ditto at the other end. In the melee, someone decided that
a second run was on. Now we had *all four* running. Due to the confusion and
constant shouts of "YES" "NO", eventually, *all* of them ran to the same
end.
Note - at this point in time, the entire ground is rolling on the floor
laughing their behinds out. One of the fielders - brave lad - stops laughing
for a minute, picks the ball and throws down the wicket at the other end.
Umpire Alec Skelding looks very seriously at the four and calmly informs
them "One of you buggers is out. I don't know which. *You* decide and inform
the bloody scorers!".

Varadakanitkar, the game is surely advancing towards 8 runs an over. In the 80's, a score of 225 was considered as a matchwinning total. Currently even 325 is no longer a surefire winning total. A good percentage of games get played at or above 6 runs an over in present Cricket. If the current trend of weakening the bowler continues (and it looks to stay), then scores of 8 runs an over are not too far off.
btw, without looking at the BBC site, here is a trivia question for readers. If a wicket fell off every ball in a match (meaning if 10 wickets fell in the first 10 balls of the match), which number batsman would remain not out in the end?

Nandya, I think answer is 8
1 -->1st ball
3 -->2nd ball
4 -->3rd ball
5 -->4th
6 -->5th
7 -->6th
now they will change a side of balling
now 8th batsman will be towards the bowler's side.
now
2 -->7th ball
9-->8th ball
10 -->9th ball
11 -->10th ball
So at the end the 8th batsman will be not out.
Am I correct?

8th is correct, assuming there are no run-outs or crossing between batsmen during a catch, or some such scenario where a change of strike occurs during a wicket.
BBC-var Cricket section-madhe Bill Frindall ek Trivia Q&A column chalavtat, which is full of interesting queries. Makes good reading.

भारत विरुद्ध इंग्लंड. पहिला कसोटी सामना.
इंग्लंड सर्वबाद २९७, पाच जण पायचित.
भारत तीन गडी बाद, पैकी दोन पायचित.
त्रासलेला पंच: 'अबे भैत्ताड आहात का? ब्याटीने खेळा ना! हा फुटबॉल नाही, क्रिकेट आहे!
च्या मारी, यांना वाटते आपण बेकॅमच आहोत, लागले फूटबॉल खेळायला. कोण यांना टीममधे घेतात देव जाणे.'

हुश्श! सुटले एकदाचे भारतीय! पावसानेच वाचवले. मला वाटते लगान मधले ते पावसाचे गाणे भारतात चोवीस तास अखंड गायले गेले. पाऊस पडावा म्हणून किती होमहवन झाले, किती ब्राम्हणांना भोजन व दक्षिणा मिळाली?

तुम्ही नाही का तासन तास इथे मायबोलीवर चिकटून बसत? घरी बायका(?)पोरे असूनही...
आणि बायकापोरात राहणे सुखद असते असे इतक्या वर्षांनन्तरही तुम्हाला वाटते म्हणजे कमाल आहे!!!
