Man of the match
an award which may be given to the highest scoring batsman, leading wicket taker or best overall performer in a match. Man of the series is the same over a whole series. Manhattan
also called the Skyline. It is a bar graph of the runs scored off each over in a one-day game, with dots indicating the overs in which wickets fell. The name is alternatively applied to a bar graph showing the number of runs scored in each innings in a batsmans career. So called because the bars supposedly resemble the skyscrapers that dominate the skyline of Manhattan. Mankad
the running-out by the bowler of a non-striking batsman who leaves their crease before the bowler has released the ball. It is named after Vinoo Mankad, an Indian bowler, who controversially used this method in a Test match. This is relatively common in indoor cricket and is noted separately from run outs, though almost unheard of in first-class cricket. Manufacturer
typically, the firm responsible for producing a batsmans cricket bat. Some popular manufacturers include Kookaburra Sport, Gray-Nicolls, and Sanspareils Greenlands. Marillier shot

Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)
the cricket club that owns Lords cricket ground in London NW8. It is the custodian of the laws of cricket. Match fixing
Illegally arranging the outcome of a match in advance, such as playing deliberately poorly to ensure a loss. Most commonly fixing is due to bribes or collusion with gamblers who bet on the result, see betting controversies in cricket.
Fetuses resulting from the same zygote share 100% of their genetic material and hence are called identical. Identical twins are always the same sex. Terminology
Terms used for the number of offspring in a multiple birth, where a number higher than three ends with the suffix -uplet:

two offspring – twins
three offspring – triplets
four offspring – quadruplets
five offspring – quintuplets
six offspring – sextuplets
seven offspring – septuplets
eight offspring – octuplets
nine offspring – nonuplets
ten offspring – decupletsTerms used for multiple births or the genetic relationships of their offspring are based on the zygosity of the pregnancy:

Monozygotic – multiple (typically two) fetuses produced by the splitting of a single zygote
Polyzygotic – multiple fetuses produced by two or more zygotes:
Dizygotic – multiple (typically two) fetuses produced by two zygotes
Trizygotic – three or more fetuses produced by three zygotes
Sesquizygotic – an egg which is fertilized by 2 sperms, which produce 2 fetusesMultiple pregnancies are also classified by how the fetuses are surrounded by one or more placentas (chorionicity) and amniotic sacs (amnionicity). Human multiple births
In humans, the average length of pregnancy (two weeks fewer than gestation) is 38 weeks with a single fetus. This average decreases for each additional fetus: to thirty-six weeks for twin births, thirty-two weeks for triplets, and thirty weeks for quadruplets. With the decreasing gestation time, the risks from immaturity at birth and subsequent viability increase with the size of the sibling group. Only as of the twentieth century have more than four all survived infancy. Recent history has also seen increasing numbers of multiple births.
