The concept of X was introduced in 2005, in which each team can have one player who had to be named before the toss and can be brought at any stage of the game. X is different from 12th man, he can bowl, bat, field and can do wicket keeping unlike 12th man. This change was criticized by the captains as the team who wins toss gets the greater advantage. In 2006 after protest by the players, this rule was withdrawn by the ICC.

Y, an Udaipur born cricketer was the First ever X in the ODI cricket. He came in to replace Simon Jones against Australia.

The ‘Indian spin quartet’ is the collective name given to the Indian spin bowlers of the 1960s and 70s. Between them, they played 231 Test matches, taking 853 wickets, with 43 fifers. They were one of the most deadly combinations in world cricket, especially on the dusty sub-continental pitches.

X was a keen cricketer, he played 10 first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). He also played for the amateur cricket team the Allahakbarries alongside authors J. M. Barrie and A. A. Milne. He was an occasional bowler and took just one first-class wicket and that too of the greatest English batsman of the era . X was knighted in the year 1902.

William Y was an English cricketer who played first class cricket for Derbyshire and MCC between 1873 and 1886. Y is also said to have umpired in the first non- first class game featuring X. X had a respect for Y and considered him as a brotherly figure. And hence, in some sense later made ‘popular’ association with Y.

X in an interview said that he was always interested to record music right from the time when he was a junior cricketer.“The same way I put out my all on the field, is the same thing I will be doing to my music career because sky’s the limit. I can balance both careers”Under the name ‘Dre russ’, last year he released two hip hop singles - ‘Sweat Whine’ and ‘Sweetheart’ - onto the music charts.

Another Player Y’s World Cup Anthem, is currently taking the Internet by storm. The lyrics of the song hails cricketers like Brian Lara, Sir Vivian Richards, Malcolm Marshall and Y himself as champions. The song also refers to sportspersons from other fields such as Usain Bolt and Serena Williams, and political figures like Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama.

X had lost 3 of his toes in an accident when he was just 14-year-old, when forklift truck had drove over him. He had said that it was the worst pain he's ever felt in his life. When X was in the hospital, his father had asked Jeff Crowe if a New Zealand player could visit him (to make his soon feel better). Stephen Fleming, the then New Zealand captain, visited him at the hospital the next day.

X was seen pointing two fingers to Mcmillan in the match against West Indies in WC’15 as he became only the second batsman after Craig Mcmillan to hit the top of the roof at the Westpac Stadium, Wellington.

During the 2011 World Cup, X tweeted this before the India vs England match:

“Looking forward to the game between India and England today ... should be a cracker.. My prediction a tie!”

Both team scored 338 which resulted in a Tie and equally shared points.

Soon after the thriller, X posted another tweet in which he said:“Before u think there was something untoward re prediction of a tie, thought it was going to be a cracker - tie was tongue in cheek - but right.”

Who is this “Paul Octopus” of Cricket?

X was a tactic used by a team Y against the opposition Z in a particular series.

Y’s captain insisted that the tactic was legitimate and called it “Leg Theory” but it was widely disparaged by its opponents, who dubbed it X.

Although Y decisively won the series, X caused such a furore in Z that diplomats had to intervene to prevent serious harm to Y-Z relations, and the laws of cricket eventually changed to curtail the number of leg side fielders.

Some of Z’s players wanted to use X in retaliation, but their captain flatly refused & famously told Y’s manager, “There are 2 teams out here. One is playing cricket, the other is making no attempt to do so.”

The ComBat was a cricket bat and the subject of a controversy that occurred at the WACA cricket ground in Perth in December 1979.

Australia were playing England in the first Test, and were in trouble at the end of the first day, at a score of 232/8 with X not out. When the second day of play began, X emerged onto the field carrying not the traditional willow bat, but a cricket bat made from some other material. X decided to use it in the Test match as a marketing stunt, and at that point, there were no rules against using such a bat. English captain Mike Brearley complained to umpires that the metallic bat was damaging the soft, leather cricket ball. X threw his ComBat away in anger towards the pavilion when asked to change the bat.

Night Watchman’s job is to occupy the crease until the “stumps” and so protect other capable batsman from losing wicket near the end of the day’s play.

However, Australia’s night watchman X piled up an unbeaten 201 in a Test match against Bangladesh in 2006. Quite surprisingly, it was his last test match.

He set the world record (on his 31st birthday) for the highest individual score by a night watchman.

Don Bradman Cricket 14

During India’s Tour of England in 2007, The test arena at Trent Bridge in Nottingham was ignited after the tiny nugget of a confectionery item appeared at the short leg fielding position - infuriating India's tail-end batsman Zaheer Khan . Zak swished the item away and started shouting and waving his bat at England's Kevin Pietersen, who he clearly blamed for placing the offending item on the pitch. Zak later took five wickets in 2nd innings & put India on a victory seat.

“I didn't know exactly where they were coming from, and maybe I picked the wrong one, but they definitely came from a fielder and I just felt it was insulting. When I go out on to the cricket field I am serious. This is a Test match we are playing. It definitely inspired me to do well.”

The Jelly Bean Incident

Some hat-tricks are particularly extraordinary. Many of us remember first over hattrick by Chaminda Vaas (ODI), Irfan Pathan (Tests) and by Malinga (4 in 4) . But this one by X is quite special. X has a unique distinction of taking a hat-trick spread across three overs and two innings! At the WACA, Perth in 1988-89, he completed a hat-trick spread across three separate overs, two innings, and two different days. He got rid of Curtly Ambrose caught behind with the last ball of his over and ended West Indies’ first innings in his next over, by removing Patrick Patterson on the very first ball; and then in the second innings after more than a day, completed his hat-trick by trapping Gordon Greenidge lbw on the first ball of West Indies’ second innings.X was perhaps one of the best at the art of sledging and was popular for his big moustache. The popularity was such that it was rumored that he has insured it for £200,000 which later on he claimed to be a false hoax. He was also offered 25,000 pounds to shave off his moustache; an offer that he clearly declined.Who is this Aussie Pacer?

Cricket Team of which nation?

Whose name ishidden?

Identify X.

X was born on 31st May, 1946 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. He was the part of the game in 128 Test matches & also in 181 One Day Internationals. X, before being involved in cricket, was a football player, a high school mathematics teacher and a sports coach. He was also seen on the field in a Football World Cup Qualifier Match. He also played as a goalkeeper in Jamaican parish leagues in the 1960s.

Nicknamed ‘Slow Death’, X was awarded the Order of Jamaica, Commander Class, for “outstanding services in the field of sports”.

It is an urban legend among cricketers that X can somehow confuse thermal-imaging technology. However, there is no scientific basis for the rumour. In fact, according to men involved with the actual science behind the technology the reality is actually opposite.

Chinmaya Joshi, a junior undergraduate student involved in a UDRS-related project by the MIT Media Lab says, “the impact of the ball on the bat would have been even more pronounced, if X was indeed applied on the bat which was also shown by BBG Sports, the Australian company that pioneered the snickometer system”

Y sent out his infamous controversial tweet in 2011, “Has X on the outside edge saved the day for Laxman?”

Shahid Afridi was flown in to play for the Pakistan team to Nairobi in 1996 and didn’t have a proper bat. That’s when Waqar Younis gave Young Debutant Afridi a bat which was gifted to him by X.

Waqar thought it could prove lucky as it belonged to a great player.

Afridi hit 11 sixes and 6 boundaries with the bat and scored a 37-ball century against Sri Lanka which was the then fastest ODI century.

A 'Golden' Duck is the one in which a batsman is out for nought on the first ball he faces.

What Cricketing term is used to describe this kind of duck?

● A dismissal (usually run out) without facing a delivery, or ● A dismissal (for zero) off the first ball of a team’s innings

A score of X, regarded as unlucky in Australian cricket and is referred to as ‘Devil’s Number’. According to Australian superstition, batsmen have a tendency to be dismissed for this score. The superstition is thought to originate from the fact that X is __ runs short of a century.

Similarly score of 100+X, 200+X and so on are also considered unlucky.

X are projectiles that are built with a small pyrotechnic charge in their base. Ignited by the burning powder, the pyrotechnic composition burns very brightly, making the projectile trajectory visible to the naked eye during daylight, and very bright during nighttime firing. This enables to make aiming corrections without observing the impact of the rounds fired and without using the sights of the weapon.
