[edit] Anatomy vs body

This is posted to test a linguistic theory. What is the nationality of the person who used the abstract word "anatomy", instead of a concrete word like "body", in the article on dismissal? I hope someone comes along to answer. Axel 16:24, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

This was moved here from the article on cricket. The very first version [1] of this article contains two uses of the word. This was done by Larry Sanger who being an American could not have known much about the game and should have got it from elsewhere. So there is no way to answer your question.

[edit] Timed out/forfeit

Should the forfeit of the 4th test by Pakistan v England 2006 be in the section - ISTR they were deemed to have forfeited the game by not appearing on the field in time.

No, because that was the outcome of a match rather than the dismissal of an individual batsman. Jmorrison230582 08:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I thought the part of the forfeit section

In the case of extremely long delays, the umpires may forfeit the match to either team. This method of taking a wicket has never been employed in the history of Test cricket. However how long a delay is allowed before calling the game a forfeit, is still not known.

particularly the first sentence would make this a relavant example; ISTR that it was the delay of the Pakistan team appearing that caused the game to be forfeited to England - if not, what law gave the game to England?

[edit] Commonness

Would it be possible to give a list of the methods in order of commonness (presumably for test and 1-day seperately if needed)? 128.232.228.174 (talk) 16:15, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
