What do you score if you hit a cricket ball that hits a tree in the field of play? |
| Question found in Cricket |
 |
|
As Mr James Ellis, specified in his answer, the rules for such conditions are made locally. I can quote with a real life situation by telling you about the famous, St Lawrence Ground in Kent. The ground opened as the Beverley ground in 1847, and was built around a lime tree. At this ground the rules were like this : Shots blocked by the tree were counted as a four. Only four cricketers have cleared the tree to score a six: Arthur 'Jacko' Watson of Sussex in 1925, the West Indies' Learie Constantine (1928), Carl Hooper (1992) and Middlesex's Jim Smith (1939). This 290 year old tree was was blown over during wild storms on 10 January 2005. Pietermaritzburg cricket ground in South Africa is another cricket ground with a tree inside the boundary. |

It is a process improvement methodology, which utilizes statistical analysis to identify root causes and thus improve operating efficiency, reduce variation, avoid defects and reduce waste in any production. It was created by Mikel Harry and Richard Schroeder at Motorola in the early 1980's. Six Sigma identifies and prevents defects in manufacturing and service-related processes. Six Sigma is a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Only a failure rate of 3.4 parts per million opportunities or process is allowed. In another word it means a perfection of 99.9997%. |
