>>>>>HISTORY
"The precise origins of cricket are unknown, though there are a few
different theories. Even the origin of the name "cricket" is obscure.
The game is most commonly thought to have begun as a diversion played
by shepherds on sheep-grazing fields. One shepherd would defend one of
the wicket-gates in a paddock fence (the reference to a "wicket" being
suggestive here) from being hit by stones thrown by another shepherd,
using his crook to try to hit the stones away."

help you further undertand the particular term."

1)Dude are you Serious he has been given a very good run in the longer format (Test Matches ) ,probably more than players who actually deserve it and has only a couple of centuries to show for it and that too in India against Srilanka . 2) Good delivery to dismiss him !!!!!!what a short pitch Delivery and his Stats in England are pathetic by the international standards a half century @lords and after that he managed only just 27 runs from seven innings ,even Ishaant Sharma would have done a better job coming in at no 4 or 5 3)yes Suresh Raina ,Virat Kohli and co are good players to watch out for ,but only if the BCCi works on their respective talents and appoints some one to work on their strengths and weaknesses
