Hemulal Yadav on Wikipedia
If you are wondering who "Hemulal Yadav" is and why am I writing about him, its because he is the reason behind my first contribution to Wikipedia - the vast online free encyclopedia. After Google, Wikipedia is my next big resource for information on anything under the sun. And now it includes a teeny-weeny contribution from me.
So who is Mr.Hemulal Yadav, and why did I write about him? In the Laws of Cricket, there is a little known law, called "timed out" (No 31). It states that an incoming batsman must be in position to take guard or for his partner to be ready to receive the next ball within 3 minutes of the fall of the previous wicket. If this requirement is not met, the incoming batsman will be out - Timed out. And our good Mr.Hemulal Yadav was the first player in first-class history to be given out after this law was formulated. I don't remember how, but somehow I ended up on the Wikipedia page on this law and there was mention about H. Yadav but no content. So I looked up his player profile on Cricinfo, created my Wikipedia account ('wrecker') and wrote up the page.. Simple, eh?
