| Description | Gomme's compilation (1898) includes the game of Trunket, played with short sticks, and using a hole instead of wickets. "The ball being 'cop'd', instead of bowled or trickled on the ground, it is played in he same way [as cricket]; the person striking the ball must be caught out, or the ball must be deposited in the hole before the stick or cudgel can be placed there." This implies to Protoball that the batter runs bases after hitting the ball. |
