Rfv-senses: both adjective senses. For example I think the cricket sense is always the verb 'drop' used in the passive voice. Like 'he was dropped', 'he had already been dropped'. You can say a 'dropped batsman' but the batsman can't be 'more dropped than' or 'very dropped'. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:06, 21 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Something like the 'most dropped batsman in history' is not different from 'the most attacked house in history'. Still feels like a verb form to me. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:20, 21 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Do I understand correctly that not only a ball, but a batsman can be dropped? That is, a dropped ball leads to a dropped batsman? Can one say "He dropped X twice today", where X is a batsman? If so, there would seem to be a missing cricket sense of drop#verb. DCDuringTALK17:57, 21 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
I think the verb drop does merit a cricket sense, as when the batsman is dropped, he's not literally suspended from a height and then dropped, the ball which he has hit is dropped. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
