[edit] Revival

There was a brief revival of the single wicket format round about the late 1960s or early 1970s, when there was a competition in which 16 (I think) leading all-rounders took part. It was a knock-out affair played over two successive days at Lord's. In each tie, the player batting first batted for five overs (I think, but it may have been ten) or until dismissed. The player batting second would then attempt to overhaul his score. The players had a normal complement of fielders to assist them. The competition lasted for about 3 seasons. A quick look in my reference books and online has failed to turn up a reference, but I know that it happened because I attended a couple of days' play myself.

I found one reference (now added to the article). This is only a single paragraph, however, so if anyone has more, by all means.... Kingdon (talk) 04:47, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Need description

This article is not very informative as to how single wicket cricket differs from more common versions of the game. I think a description of rules and play etc. is needed. 202.89.188.248 (talk) 08:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
