(Hanging head in shame about making any remark involving baseball...)

In terms of the number three? I don't think so. There are three stumps. But you only have
to hit one and if the bails come off, you're out. You can have three slips... but you can
also have less, more, or none.

Maybe some sort of analogy that involve the silly mid off position diving for a catch
after the bowler tossed down a particular nasty googly that the batsman totally misread?

There are three breaks (morning, afternoon, and "regular" tea) in a test match. At least
there used to. I think.

Ah, cricket. sigh.....

cheers,

paulv
