About this deal

The essence of the sport is that a bowler delivers (i.e., bowls) the ball from his or her end of the pitch towards the batter who, armed with a bat, is "on strike" at the other end (see next sub-section: Basic gameplay). He was the leading run-scorer in the 2017–18 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge tournament for KwaZulu-Natal, with 263 runs in four matches. [4] Mzansi Super League Player Draft: The story so far". Independent Online . Retrieved 17 October 2018. the batting team's captain may declare the innings closed even though some of his players have not had a turn to bat: this is a tactical decision by the captain, usually because he believes his team have scored sufficient runs and need time to dismiss the opposition in their innings Hess, Rob (2008).

CPL to launch inaugural T10 tournament 'The 6ixty' in August". ESPNcricinfo . Retrieved 8 December 2022. The bat is made of wood, usually Salix alba (white willow), and has the shape of a blade topped by a cylindrical handle. The blade must not be more than 4.25 inches (10.8cm) wide and the total length of the bat not more than 38 inches (97cm). There is no standard for the weight, which is usually between 2lb 7 oz and 3lb (1.1 and 1.4kg). [81] [82] In a two-innings-a-side match, one team's combined first and second innings total may be less than the other side's first innings total. The team with the greater score is then said to have "won by an innings and n runs", and does not need to bat again: n is the difference between the two teams' aggregate scores. If the team batting last is all out, and both sides have scored the same number of runs, then the match is a tie; this result is quite rare in matches of two innings a side with only 62 happening in first-class matches from the earliest known instance in 1741 until January 2017. In the traditional form of the game, if the time allotted for the match expires before either side can win, then the game is declared a draw. [74]Australia established its national first-class championship in 1892–93 when the Sheffield Shield was introduced. In Australia, the first-class teams represent the various states. [140] New South Wales has the highest number of titles. Savidge was an acting sergeant with Sussex Police at East Grinstead when he admitted 42 charges relating to the making and distribution of 54,323 images, which included 1,681 prohibited and extreme images It is inconceivable that today’s women correspondents have not all had the same sort of experience as that recounted by Savidge – who was, at the material time, an experienced sub-editor on the Evening Standard. That is, simply, how things were, probably are (Savidge recounts a similar tale from the 2019 Men’s World Cup). The legal profession is full of women but I know a number of brilliant female lawyers who have been on the receiving end of questions such as that put to Savidge. Such questions are not asked because of malice, or even personal indifference. It is a mixture of ignorance, arrogance and often unconscious discrimination. I was a little surprised to learn that Michele did not find more overt sexism than she did, but clearly there was some along the line. Less surprising is the content of the #Who? Me? #Me Too chapter which contains some striking examples of male behaviour at its worst. The former England player with the Rolls Royce is a man particularly deserving of his reputation being dismantled, but there are others as well. It is to the author’s great credit that she makes the decision to allow such reprobates to retain their anonymity. Lewis, Wendy; Simon Balderstone & John Bowan (2006). Events That Shaped Australia.

The decision to attempt a run is ideally made by the batter who has the better view of the ball's progress, and this is communicated by calling: usually "yes", "no" or "wait". More than one run can be scored from a single hit: hits worth one to three runs are common, but the size of the field is such that it is usually difficult to run four or more. [103] To compensate for this, hits that reach the boundary of the field are automatically awarded four runs if the ball touches the ground en route to the boundary or six runs if the ball clears the boundary without touching the ground within the boundary. In these cases the batters do not need to run. [104] Hits for five are unusual and generally rely on the help of "overthrows" by a fielder returning the ball. Focussing in this way on sexual harassment and racism might suggest that this book is dark and depressing. In a sense it has to be said that there is an element of that. Right from the start of the book a recurring theme is Savidge’s extremely strong and close relationship with her parents, especially her father but her mother too. The seismic events in the narrative are their respective deaths and the impact their passing had on their daughter. To a considerable extent this is a book about grief. One senses that writing the book was a cathartic experience for Savidge; writing it was more important for her than getting it published. There are other issues that are remembered in detail too, such as a failed pregnancy, and post-natal depression. But even when describing the darkest times, Savidge writes with a light touch and in a deliciously self-deprecating style. At one point she is asking herself why such and such a thing was done or not done before her mother’s death, then she suddenly says “And why did Geoff Boycott run out Derek Randall at Trent Bridge in 1977?”

Savage was a right-arm off-break bowler who, unusually for his time, which was an era of increasingly defensive bowling, flighted the ball rather than bowling flat, and a right-handed tail-end batsman. [2] In his first game for Leicestershire in 1953 he hit 31 and 8 not out, and therefore averaged 39.00 with the bat at that point: it proved to be a very false dawn in terms of his batting ability, as he only once surpassed that 31 and his highest score in 17 years was only 33.
