Cricketers From Nottinghamshire
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the field, and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket. When ten batters have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in ...

Not Out
In cricket, a batter is not out if they come out to bat in an innings and have not been dismissed by the end of an innings. The batter is also ''not out'' while their innings is still in progress. Occurrence At least one batter is not out at the end of every innings, because once ten batters are out, the eleventh has no partner to bat on with so the innings ends. Usually two batters finish not out if the batting side declares in first-class cricket, and often at the end of the scheduled number of overs in limited overs cricket. Batters further down the batting order than the not out batters do not come out to the crease at all and are noted as ''did not bat'' rather than ''not out''; by contrast, a batter who comes to the crease but faces no balls is ''not out''. A batter who ''retires hurt'' is considered not out; an uninjured batter who retires (rare) is considered ''retired out''. Notation In standard notation a batter's score is appended with an asterisk to show the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parade Ground, Georgetown
The Parade Ground was a military parade ground and cricket ground in Georgetown, Guyana. History In 1812, the Lieutenant Governor of Demerara and Essequibo Hugh Lyle Carmichael was concerned that the troops and militia of the colony had no place to parade. In October 1812, Carmichael accepted a grant of 16 lots of land from Thomas Mewburn in the Cumingsburg area of Georgetown in which to set up a parade ground. The parade ground was a site for executions of black slaves who had taken part in the Demerara rebellion of 1823. In 1843, representations were made by a Mr. Hackett to transform the parade grounds into an ornamental public gardens and build two temples named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, but this was not well supported. However, attitudes changed the following year when the local ''Gazette'' campaigned for the construction of a Government House and public gardens. This was hastened by the destruction of the beach promenade in 1846 and its general condition b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
