shane warne is a leg spin bowler for right handed bats man. lets imagine that rest of the players from other countries all are left handed batsman. so will he be still called as leg spinner?

lets say:..batsman played a ball straight down to the bowler and bowler touches the ball and hit the stumps and the non striker is out of his crease. Now at the time when the ball hit the non striker stumps ....the batsman was hit wicket. In clousion the timing of the ball hitting the non striker stumps and the striker being hit wicket is the same. So in this case..who will be out?

Flippu,

You are mistaken. Arjuna Ranatunga used to be a part time bowler. I recall once when Kumaratunga broke his arm during fielding, Ranatunga came to bowl and he managed to steal a wicket as well. He used to bowl right arm medium pace.

Here are his stats as bowler:

ODI
Mat W BB BowlAv 5w Ct St
269 79 4/14 47.55 0 63 0

Test:
Mat W BB BowlAv 5w Ct St
93 16 2/17 65.00 0 47 0

:)

Indeed he has bowled, but He is not considered as the main bowler. I have seen him bowl on few ocassions. Sachin, jadega, Ganguly, Dravid did bowl but they are not considered as real bowlers. They are more of batsmen. Tyo bhaya ho .:)

Alrighty here is the another trivia: I'm a fast bowler for SA team. My name resembles with a cartoon character form Disney world. Who am I? :) Easy one eh?

THIS IS ANSWER TO KALE KRISHNA'S QUESTION...

I was looking through some websites today, and one claimed that there once was a cricketer named ... hold your breath ... John Elicius Benedict Bernard Placid Quirk Carrington Dwyer. Is this true? Who was he? asked Anirudh Sankaran from India


That really was his name, and he played for Sussex - usually appearing on scorecards (presumably for reasons of space!) as EB Dwyer - in the early 1900s, despite having been born in Australia. Christopher Lee's 1989 Sussex history From the Sea End reveals: "He inevitably had a somewhat exotic background. JEBBPQC Dwyer was a great-grandson of Michael Dwyer, a Wicklow chieftain who was described as one of the boldest leaders of the 1798 [Irish] insurrection and who was eventually captured and transported to Australia. It was there, in Sydney, that EB Dwyer was born in 1876. He was a tall, dark and handsome fellow with a ready humour, who bowled with a high right-arm action that produced lift and not a little turn. He was encouraged to come to England by Pelham Warner, and persuaded by CB Fry to play for Sussex. In 1906 his registration was approved, and he immediately proved his worth with 9 for 35 against Derbyshire and 9 for 44 against Middlesex." Sadly, Dwyer died in 1912, aged only 36. He seems to have admitted to more initials than anyone else who played first-class cricket in England - although he has some rivals in Sri Lanka, where I suspect Rajitha Amunugama might be the record-holder.

Brian Lara is not performing, so he deserves no place. Pathan- solely because he serves as a genuine all rounder. Trescothick has been out for over 3 months, so including him is a little iffy, but there is no doubt he is a really good batsman. Hoggard- performing well, but a team can only have 11 players

what happened to the cricket lovers in Sajha. Keep posting, we need to keep this thread alive. Post your test or one day 11.
