He was the youngest goalkeeper to play in that tournament, where he saw action in Mexico’s three matches. He appeared in one match at the 1954 World Cup and in three at the 1958 tournament; at the 1962 World Cup in Chile, he became the first footballer ever to appear in four World Cups, also helping his team win its first-ever World Cup match when they defeated Czechoslovakia 3-1 in the first round.

Four years later Carbajal established another mark with his fifth World Cup appearance. That record was equalled by German player Lothar Matthäus in 1998.

a) $3 1/2$ feet

b) 3 feet

c) 4 feet

d) $2 1/2$ feet

Answer: (c)

Batting Crease or Popping Crease is drawn parallel to the bowling crease at a distance of 4 feet or 121.92 cms. A run is completed each time the two batsmen cross this crease at their opposite ends. As mentioned above for a Bowling Crease, if a bowler oversteps this crease in his delivery stride then the delivery is declared as a no-ball.

This crease comes into the picture during the ruling of run-outs and stump outs. A batsman has a choice of standing outside the batting crease. He can be stumped out by the wicketkeeper if he is out of this crease or on it after playing a delivery as long as the ball is in play.
