Contrived circumstances

The sport of professional cricket offers a wide variety of strategies and methods that may be used to improve one’s chances of winning a single match or an entire tournament entirely. The slugger captain will sometimes use strategies that have been planned and deconstructed, and the term contradicted circumstances alludes to these particular strategies.

Contrived Circumstances: WSA

When seen from the perspective of a fan, particularly a novice, the use of created conditions may seem to be synonymous with engaging in an unethical behavior or making a mistake. Nevertheless, this is not entirely accurate. Let’s say that throughout the course of the game, the captain of the side that is hitting decides that it is more advantageous to serve than to hit during this specific part of the game.

If this is the case, he has the ability to give the order for the team to receive the balls without any hesitation, with the only purpose of accumulating the bare minimum of points and completing the inning as quickly as possible. This is a mere conception (plan) or contrived circumstances.

However, there is no such term in the official source of Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack.

The WSA is an annual cricket guide (over 1,500 pages) that has been published since 1864.
