Salad

Salad is a light meal — or, as part of a bigger meal, much more of an taster — consisting of varied vegetables (usually including at least one leaf vegetable) or fruit, frequently with a dressing or sauce, occasionally nuts and sometimes with the addition of meat, fish or cheese. It is usually seen as a healthy dish, even though not always low in calories, salt, sugar, or fat because of the dressing that is often added. The word "salad" comes from the French salade of the identical meaning, which in twist is from the Latin salata, "salty", from sal, "salt".

Traffic light
A traffic light or traffic signal is a signalling device positioned at a road junction or pedestrian crossing to indicate when it is safe to drive, ride or walk, using a universal color code.Traffic lights for usual vehicles or pedestrians always have two main lights, a red one that means stop and a green one that means go. Generally, the red light contains some orange in its hue, and the green light contains some blue, to provide some support for people with red-green color blindness. In most countries there is also a yellow (or amber) light, which when on and not flashing means stop if able to do so securely. In some systems, a flashing amber means that a motorist may go in advance with care if the road is clear, giving way to pedestrians and to other road vehicles that may have precedence. A flashing red effectively means the same as a regular stop sign. There may be additional lights (usually a green arrow or "filter") to allow turns (called a lead light in the U.S., because it is usually leading the main green light).

Players of Cricket

A team contains an eleven players. Depending on his or her most important skills, a player may be classified as a specialist batsman or bowler. A balanced team generally has five or six expert batsmen and four or five expert bowlers. Teams nearly for all time include a specialist wicket-keeper because of the importance of this fielding position. Each team is headed by a captain, who is in charge for making strategic decisions such as determining the batting order, the placement of fielders and the rotation of bowlers.

A player who excels in both batting and bowling is called as an all-rounder. One who excels as a batsman and wicket-keeper is known as a "wicket-keeper/batsman", sometimes regarded as a kind of all-rounder. True all-rounders are rare; most players focal point on either batting or bowling skills.

One-day Match & Draw Match
If the team batting last is all out, and in cooperation sides have scored the same number of runs, then the match is a tie; this result is reasonably rare in matches of two innings a side. In the traditional form of the game, if the time allotted for the match expires before either side can win, then the game is declared a draw.

If the match has only a single innings for each side, then a maximum number of deliveries for every innings is often imposed. Such a match is called a "limited overs" or "one-day" match, and the side scoring more runs wins in spite of of the number of wickets lost, so that a draw cannot occur. If this kind of match is for the moment interrupted by bad weather, then a complex mathematical formula, known as the Duckworth-Lewis method after its developers, is often used to recalculate a new aim score. A one-day match can also be declared a "no-result" if less than a previously agreed number of overs have been bowled by either team, in circumstances that make normal recommencement of play impossible; for example, wet weather.
