Sorry, it was a little tricky! But the question was posed well enough. I think it was a good question and not impossible as Teatime FatCat showed.

[Zainub]

Ok teatime...but please you be less mischevious next time...and I've having me exams too..so make the next question quick , thank you!

[Teatime FatCat]

Ok then - why do we have three stumps?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha - fiendish!

[Andy Mellon]

The game was devised in 1786 by Jake "the Peg" Stumpson to celebrate his additional appendage. He was of course immortalised by Rolf Harris in the song Jake the Peg (with his extra leg)

Or so I was told

[Teatime FatCat]

...............har har har, thank you very much ladies and gentlemen - I'm here all week, now take my wife, no please take my wife..................

Oh Mellons, it's good - but not right!

Well, F=G, I know there are several forms of entertainment in that part of Southampton, but he assures me that he only goes for the football! His wife believes it too. (Maybe you don't know, F=G, that despite my present residence, I am Southampton born, and my brother too. He still lives in Hampshire, just along the road at Fareham. PO16 postcode but can't bring himself to set foot in Fratton Park!)

Why do we have 3 stumps...well...from the top of my mind...Because the guy who invented cricket was really very superstitious and he believed in the theory "even numbers are unlucky and odd numbers are lucky"...and since he thought that one stump would have made the game too unfair for bowlers he went in with the next odd number which was 3

[Teatime FatCat]

Oh Marvellous theory, but it is also incorrect!

[Andy Mellon]

... Oh, I have to admit TTFC... You've got me 'stumped' with this question!!!!!

Oh yes!
