There’s more than ten ways to get out in cricket, including some you’ve never seen-by Roar Guru Starcy’s been struggling to get the ball to talk. (AFP, Ian Kington) Source:Theroar On Friday night, ten minutes after Australia had been dismissed, the umpires and the Aussies were on the field, but the Pakistani batsmen were nowhere to be seen. So a radio broadcaster asked the question, “Can you be timed out before a ball has been bowled?” The answer of course was no. That’s not how timed out works. And no sooner had the words been said than the Pakistani openers made their belated entry to the Gabba. Timed out. It’s one of the more obscure forms of cricket dismissal. Law 31 of the MCC Laws of Cricket states that an incoming batsman must be in a position to take guard within three minutes of the fall of the previous wicket. ...

It’s that time of the Year – Once again.- By Noor Rahim Onset of the Festive Season. The flowers are all but gone and the trees have shed all their leaves. How one misses the various types of Birds, Bees and Butterflies that foraged for food in the previous days. Only the few bushy-tailed squirrels that scamper hither and thither on the grounds; picking up the nuts and every morsel of food they can gather for their hibernation; are currently visible. The daylight hours keep getting shorter by the day; and along comes the drop in temperature too. The ardent connoisseur of a “White Christmas” will no doubt await the snows; that they pray will complete their Christmas. To offset this change of weather and its’ temporary change of environmental setbacks comes that “Spiritual Change” in atmosphere. You feel the onset of the Festive Season in its immediate wake; although ...
