Cricket Player

Re: Cricket Player

Captain - Well I haven’t actually watched him play very much so I wouldn’t know. And sometimes I crash my bike into my neighbors mailbox.
Anyways, how is Muhammad Sami up at bat? :phati:

ehsan uncle - Yea I was gonna say “pitch” but then I realized that was for baseball. =\ Hey so what do these stand for? :
mat
balls
wkts ( ← that one’s wickets, yea?)
bbi
bbm

Re: Cricket Player

please don’t compare cricket with a girlie game like roundus (Oops, I mean baseball). bbi, bbm :konfused:

Re: Cricket Player

MAT = match(es)
BBI = best bowling in an innings
BBM = best bowling in a match (as usually we have 2 innings in a test match :D)

Re: Cricket Player

What do the numbers for "bbi" and "bbm" stand for? Like:
BBI - 5/36
BBM - 8/106

Re: Cricket Player

5/36 means he took 5 wickets in that innings and gave away 36 runs. Similarly 8/106 means he took 8 wickets in the match and gave away 106 runs. Phew!!! This girl knows nothing. :crying:

Re: Cricket Player

Okay well I just started learning to play cricket recently like with some of the other desi kids in the area. I learned that after you hit the ball, you’re not supposed to throw the bat up in the air and run, but you gotta take it with you. :slight_smile: And I also learned that when you hit past Auntie Khadija’s trashcan, it counts as 6 points. :phati:

So I’m guessing that it’s pretty bad that Sami “gave away 106 runs”. :bummer: What’s like the average?

Re: Cricket Player

^ 8/106 is very good bowling.
