Should I get my coat? What happened to J?... jumper J could also be for Jaffa (also corker) An exceptionally well bowled, practically unplayable delivery, usually but not always from a fast bowler. Taken from the idea that a 'Jaffa' is the best type of Orange. Or getting down to something a little more closer....

David48 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 "I" could be inswinger? Not sure how to illustrate that. May I ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 M is for maiden N is for not-out O is for out Remember we are trying to build and 'A B C' style book for teaching Thai Children a very early love an understanding of Cricket ... so maybe suggestions could reflect that? We are thinking of your yet unborn Cricket XI Team. But I did like your use of the K is for Knees ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevjohn Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 "F" is for Fielders as well as 4.'' Maybe kevjohn you have found your specialist niche. Double points for double use 'fieldsmen' and 'four' Lucky I could count to 4. If it had been, 5, I would have had to start on the toes......

kevjohn Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks boss......I take my floppy green off to you. You are so much quicker between the wickets than me, myself and I all rolled into one. Running between the wickets is all about reactions, decision-making and communication. As soon as the ball leaves the bat you must both decide whether or not it is your call. If the ball is behind square it is the non-strikers call, or vice-versa. If it is your call you need to make a quick decision whether a run is possible. Immediately make a loud and clear call to your batting partner. Only three calls should be used... "yes", "no" or "waiting". Great advice and agree 100% But I'm afraid it's stumps for this little black duck. Can't keep my eye on the ball at the moment. Cheers! Is this our first "Duck" as a result of "Bad Light"?

kevjohn Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 While waiting for the washing to cook, how about "Q" for Quota Quota The total number of overs (maximum 10) allotted to a bowler in an ODI, or any limited overs match. Typically total overs in the innings divided by 5, rounded to next highest integer. Maybe someone can explain, all this, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
