Decapitation (cricket)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is not a recognised term in the sport of cricket. A single journalist at the Sydney Morning Herald has written it into a couple of stories. The so-called strategy could equally be applied to just about any team sport. &mdash;Moondyne 12:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:NEO. I'm a huge cricket fan. This (targeting the opposition captain) is a well know tactic but I have never heard this word used in the context suggested by this article. (The article is wrong anyway to suggest that this tactic was invented by the Australians targeting Graeme Smith in 2005/6. The West Indies used to do this all the time in their pomp eg Courtney Walsh targeting Mike Atherton on the 1993/4 England tour to WI). Jules1975 12:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
