Cricket

I felt it best to try and explain the game of cricket to you all while here in London.

Cricket: As explained to a foreigner...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the
side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes
in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and
the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and
when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There
are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when
the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men
have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have
been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

Got it?

Carpe Diem.

  1. Nope. Totally and hopelessly confused. I'll stick to baseball.

  2. Ade! You continue to amaze me! Not only don't I have it , I'll never get it, don't want it, won't think about it, don't care about it! But, despite all that, I DO THINK YOU ARE FUNNY!

  3. This is why a game you call football where you can't touch the ball with your hands and no one wears a helmet makes sense to you.
    Now explain why the "bat" is shaped like a paddle.
    Have fun in London, wish I was there.
