Editors Note:It's seems to be commonly accepted that the game of baseball was derived from the English games of rounders and Cricket, but surprisingly little more is known. If the game is indeed based on these English games, the question is, is this also where heckling originated? So we thought we'd investigate whether there is enough material for a page on this site devoted to the art of heckling at a Cricket match. For the unitiated, here are a few Cricket terms to get you started:
All rounder
Bails
Bouncer/Bumper
Boundary
Bowled
Bye
Century
Crease
Duck
Extra Follow-on
Full toss
Gully
Leg stump
Leg trap
Maiden over
Night-watchman
Inswinger
Leg-bye
