Patterson Thompson
Patterson Ian Chesterfield Thompson (born 26 September 1971) is a former West Indies cricketer. He never recovered from a terrible start to his Test career and played only once more at that level, as well as in two One Day Internationals. Career Thompson made his first-class debut for Barbados in the 1994–95 Red Stripe Cup, and performed well, taking six wickets in the game – his first being that of Jamaica's opening batsman and Test player Robert Samuels. He took ten wickets in all that season at 27.20, and in the following year's Red Stripe Cup he claimed 23 wickets, the fourth highest of any bowler that year, at 22.34. As a result, at the end of the West Indian season in April, Thompson was picked for the first Test against New Zealand at his home ground of Bridgetown. Although West Indies won the match by ten wickets, Patterson himself had a torrid time. His first over in Test cricket went for 17 runs, and in all he bowled 13 no-balls (and a wide) in the first inni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

No-ball
In cricket, a no-ball is a type of illegal delivery to a batter (the other type being a wide). It is also a type of extra, being the run awarded to the batting team as a consequence of the illegal delivery. For most cricket games, especially amateur, the definition of all forms of no-ball is from the MCC '' Laws of Cricket.'' The delivery of a no-ball results in one run – two under some regulations – to be added to the batting team's overall score, and an additional ball must be bowled. In addition, the number of ways in which the batter can be given out is reduced to three. In shorter competition cricket, a batter receives a free hit on the ball after any kind of no-ball (see below); this means the batter can freely hit that one ball with no danger of being out in most ways. No-balls due to overstepping the crease are common, especially in short form cricket, and fast bowlers tend to bowl them more often than spin bowlers. It is also a no-ball when the bowler's ba ...

The Result In Cricket
The result in a game of cricket may be a "win" for one of the two teams playing, or a "tie". In the case of a limited overs game, the game can also end with "no result" if the game can't be finished on time (usually due to weather or bad light), and in other forms of cricket, a "draw" may be possible. Which of these results applies, and how the result is expressed, is governed by Law 16 of the laws of cricket. Win and loss The result of a match is a "win" when one side scores more runs than the opposing side and all the innings of the team that has fewer runs have been completed. The side scoring more runs has "won" the game, and the side scoring fewer has "lost". If the match ends without all the innings being completed, the result may be a draw or no result. Results where neither team wins Tie The result of a match is a "tie" when the scores are equal at the conclusion of play, but only if the side batting last has completed its innings (i.e. all innings are completed, o ...
