Andrew Dick (Cricketer) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Andrew Dick was an Australian cricketer who played for Victoria. Dick made a single first-class appearance for the side, during the 1853-54 season, in just the fourth first-class match the team ever played. He scored three runs in the first innings and a single run in the second. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings.
