Talk:Dead ball (cricket)

Changes
Have changed:

"The ball is hit into the field, a fielder gathers the ball, and the batsmen obviously decline to attempt to take any more runs."

to:

"The ball is finally settled in the hands of the wicket-keeper or the bowler (and the batsmen obviously decline to attempt to take any more runs)"

Name
The name of the man who hit the roof is irrelevant and should remain as just an Australian batsamn. This is notice given that the removal of the name is being discussed and if no comments are made in 14 days then inserting the name will be removed per this discusion.--134.225.235.40 10:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the name of the batsman should be included, as should the name of the venue. It provides extra information in the same amount of space, without which the sentence sounds incredibly vague. I also disagree with the time limit on the discussion - people should not be excluded because they simply didn't happen to look at this page between 22 February and 10 March 2007.
