All's well, in fact seems just like baseball, until this sentence: "The batter attempts to put the ball in play in such a way that he/she is able to reach base without being put out, which can occur in a variety of ways as well, including exceeding the number of prescribed good pitches." So how is one 'put out?' 'In a variety of ways as well' is no help. Where do the prescribed 'good pitches' fit in? (It's an unfortunate coincidence that, to a cricket fan, 'good pitches' refers to the state of the ground.) [[User:Ro Thorpe|Ro Thorpe]] 23:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
