What does it mean if a wicket has fallen?

It means a batsman has been dismissed.

 

[coolian2]

Every time I refresh Cricinfo now, I expect another wicket to have fallen.

You'll know here first, if i'm not maniacaclly running around the room.

 

[Axver]

oh not more fucking cricket. SNOREFEST.

Go on, you know you secretly love it.

 

[mysterious_jen]

Go on, you know you secretly love it.

no no i dont.


well occasionally you will get a nice bastman arse shot, but honestly it is so bloody boring.


COME ON AFL.......

Fucking hell, check out the most recent four overs: 1 . W . . W | . 1nb . . . . . | . . . . . . | . . . . . .

England, YOU SUCK.

It means a batsman has been dismissed.

I'm going to try to learn some cricket on Wikipedia.

 

[Axver]

no no i dont.

Or Symonds giving a streaker what-for?

I fucking hate how little sport is on free-to-air now. AFL's covered fairly well but I want my rugby, damnit!

Totally worth doing.


Just ignore anything on Duckworth-Lewis.

It doesn't make sense anytime, anywhere. Just accept what it says.

For the benefit of Pee Fan, et al., this means:

Six balls are bowled (by the one bowler) per over. The above shows what the batsmen did each over. The full stops represent no run, a "dot ball". So the first over there, England scored 1 run, then lost two wickets. The second over, the only run scored was a no ball, i.e. a point given to the batting team as a penalty for an illegal delivery from the bowler. The third and fourth overs are both maidens, i.e. no runs were scored.

dont bother.


go look up some AFL players

 

[Axver]

Holy fuck, that's been, what, four maidens in a row?!

SCORE SOME FUCKING RUNS OR JUST GET OUT, ENGLAND. FOR GOD'S SAKE. USE THAT BAT FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.

 

[Axver]

Oh, and Pee Fan, did SSIKC work? Or did I just kill your computer?

 

[mysterious_jen]

oh shit. im so tired and so that i realised that i have been telling Pee fan to look up hot AFL footballlers, thinking i was talking to Vazza.

 

[phillyfan26]

Alright, so the general run scoring occurs from the striker and non-striker both successfully reaching the wicket, which is one run.

It's four runs to reach the boundary, six to get over in the air. One run is awarded on a "no ball."

Now, what's the difference between a dismissal and getting no runs?

 

[coolian2]

It's still more interesting than Englands efforts on Day 2 and 3.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I was tempted to join the conversation, but now I see you're all talking about cricket... again.

Oh well, I'll probably be whoring this place out when footy starts.

a dismissal means you are out. you can stand there all day an get no runs if you want as long as they dont hit the wickets with the ball while you stand there.

 

[phillyfan26]

Oh, and Pee Fan, did SSIKC work? Or did I just kill your computer?

I'm doing an important school project online, and once I'm done that, I'm going to free up the computer to focus on the e-mail.
