The Bad Wolf: who ever put this in: (not really. That Other Wiki shows that bowling to hit the batsman is against the rules.) should have read the actual article: "It should be noted, however, that short pitched balls aimed at the batsman are not and have never been illegal and are in widespread use today as a tactic"

Randallw Wales plays cricket? I have no interest myself but being Australian I think I would notice if Wales was in the World Series. Then again I think Ireland was in it recently.

Kinitawowi: They don't, at least certainly not independently - they're part of the England And Wales Cricket Board. Scotland try occasionally, which might be a better comparator.

Big T: @TBW: Unfortunately, that particular sentence is up for review. I put in a passionate plea for someone source it, since the article is a featured articled. As far as I know, the sentence is true, but that's not enough for The Other Wiki. You've got to have a secondary source that has stated such.

Deuce: As a cricket fan this article makes me cry. I suspect, though, that it was meant to?

Adam850: Oh yeah. As one who has never even seen cricket,on TV, it's a lot more entertaining than a dry "The Rules Of Cricket (Part 1)". Remember that these Useful Notes are for outsiders to that place.
