Nelson (cricket)

Nelson is a piece of cricket slang terminology and superstition.The name, applied to team or individual scores of 111, 222 etc, is thought to refer to Lord Nelson's lost eye, arm and leg (Nelson actually had both of his legs intact, the third missing body part is mythical). Also, some consider that '111' represents the three stumps without the bails, which symbolizes being out.
