A former BOP writer runs a cricket site. I tried reading it once and did not understand a word on the page. -- nm

So, who did well here? The pitcher for finally getting the out, or the batter that kept fouling things off? -- nm

the pitcher (or the bowler, in cricket terms). the goal as a batter (batsman) is always to score runs. out for no runs is embarrassing.
