Text:	<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>A cricket historian describes an early attribute of cricket"</p> <p>" .&nbsp;. . the reason we hear sometimes of he Block-hole was . . . because between these&nbsp; [two]&nbsp;two-feet-asunder stumps [the third stump in the wicket had not yet been introduced] there was cut a hole big enough to contain a ball, and (as now with the school boy's game of <strong>rounders</strong>) the hitter was made out in running a notch by the ball being popped into [a] hole (whence 'popping crease') before the point of the bat could reach it."</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
