Denis Leng
Denis Leng (26 November 1934 — September 2020) was an English first-class cricketer. Leng was born at Pudsey in November 1934 and was educated there at Primrose Hill Secondary Modern School. He played club cricket in the Bradford League for Farsley Cricket Club. Following a successful 1964 season for Farsley, in which he took 48 wickets with his right-arm fast-medium bowling, Leng was engaged by Cork County Cricket Club in Ireland the following season. With the commencement of the Guinness Cup in 1966, Leng was selected to lead the Munster bowling attack. Following good interprovincial returns, Leng was selected to play for Ireland later in the 1966 season in a first-class match against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Dublin.

Pudsey
Pudsey is a market town in the City of Leeds borough in West Yorkshire, England. It is located midway between Bradford city centre and Leeds city centre. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, it has a population of 25,393. History The place-name ''Pudsey'' is first recorded in 1086 in the Domesday Book as ''Podechesai(e)''. Its etymology is rather uncertain: it seems most likely to derive from a putative personal name *''Pudoc'' and the word ''ēg'' meaning 'island' but here presumably referring metaphorically to an 'island' of good ground in moorland. Thus the name would mean 'Pudoc's island'. Other possibilities have been suggested, however. In the early sixth century the district was in the Kingdom of Elmet, which seems to have retained its Celtic character for perhaps as many as two centuries after other neighbouring kingdoms had adopted the cultural identity of the Angles. Around 1775, a cache of a 100 silver Roman coins, many predating the time of Julius Caes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Not Out
In cricket, a batsman is not out if they come out to bat in an innings and have not been dismissed by the end of an innings. The batsman 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
