Text | "between the two-feet-asunder stumps there was cut a hole big enough to contain a ball, and (as now with the school boy's game of rounders) the [cricket] hitter was made out in running a notch by the ball being popped into [a] hole (whence 'popping crease') before the point of the bat could reach it." James Pycroft, The Cricket Field [1854], page 68. Submitted by John Thorn, 1/13/2007. Note: Pycroft was first published in 1851 [see item #1851.1]. Was this material in the first edition? |
