Doc B,

Dear Dr. Beaver,

Please look up a refence before posting. I suggest Tom Smith the definative guide to the laws of cricket and scoring before posting.

There are a certain number of ways to be dismissed in the game of cricket, not just several. It is ok for these insular Americians to be proud of their sad lack of knowledge of the wider world but we have standards to keep.

Would you allow your daughter to marry some one who did not know where square leg is?

Are you inferring that I have omitted ways that a batsman can be out? If so, please enlighten me. (Admittedly, a player can be sent from the field for misconduct but I wouldn't class that as being "out" as it applies equally to the batting & fielding sides.)

P.S. Please use Spell Check before posting. You wouldn't want these Americans to think you're illiterate, would you?  []
