***** NOT A TEACHER *****
Good morning, Jadoon:
1. Of course, I know
nothing about cricket.
2. I wish only to try to answer your second question.
3. The world's greatest grammarian (my opinion, of course) explains it this way (IF I have read it correctly):
a. Many, many years ago, the English people would say something like "The tree
is fallen." That is, "The tree is in a fallen state."
b. Then the English people started to use "have/has."
c. So the English people had a choice: The tree is/has fallen.
d. This great grammarian tells us that
"Today [he published his masterpiece in 1931]
we only ... use is when we feel the perfect participle as expressing more or less clearly the idea of a state and hence as having the force of an adjective." [As emsr told us.]
i. Thus, do not be surprised if you read in "poetic language" or "set expressions" sentences such as:
(a) We are assembled here to discuss a difficult question.
(b) The messenger is gone.
(c) Our friend is departed.
Sincerely,
James
That fantastic grammarian was Professor Dr. George Oliver Curme. This information comes from the second volume of his masterpiece
