Cricket Simply Explained
 

CRICKET............................READ SLOWLY...
.......................................
You have two sides ,one out in the field and one in....
Each man thats in the side thats 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 thats out comes in and the side thats been in goes out
and tries to get those coming in out..
When both sides have been in and out ,including the not outs...
THATS THE END OF THE GAME.....
HOWZAT..:confused:

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

I'm even more confused now granny. lol
You know i know nowt about cricket.

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

I also know nowt about cricket............... Now I know even less..:confused:

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Do they wear white because it's like watching paint dry?

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Granny gave a tea towel with that explanation to our next door neighbours who came from Canada,and they knew even less after reading it!!!!! :smile:

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

The most stupis thing is that after five days of playing they call it a draw!!! HOW??? surley they could have something like a penatly shoot out with one bowl and bat each best out of five or sudden death

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

its a great game for chilling out on a summer afternoon, i used to use it to to get boiled in the days when the pubs shut at 2-00 lol

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

sat in the bath 10 mins ago relaxin listening to 97.4 rock fm and the sport came on they began talkin about cricket and somehow got round to the rules and low and behold what do i hear ???


grannyclarets tea towel....lol.....or the words that are wrote on it anyhow ......just wondering if they have seen it on here ?? hmmmmmm:idunno:

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Rumour has it the England team has made it more popular. 5 day matches nope gimme 20/20 its more fun to watch. I like cricket but the fact that England are on top in a match and still only manage a draw makes me think people are not seeing the light. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

I used to have a similar Tea towel.......and another with the silly rules of golf on.......sadly now both worn out. No dishwasher at our house.

I'm not a fan of any kind of sport, but the last two test matches have been gripping. Hmmm! must get out more.

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

as we have been pretty crap for a good few years spuggie, the fact that we dominated the no1 rated nation in world cricket,and yes the weather helped them save the match,makes me think you are too far up north to see any light. :engsmil:

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

according to the news ,the next test at trent bridge next week as been a sell out allready ..

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

So what's the offside rule all about then? :p

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Just you watch everyone in England suddenly become cricket fans;even those who don't know their leg byes from their googlies!:rolleyes:

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

or their silly midons and their leg points ,, and dont mention a duncan lewis result

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Not that far north C-man still get daylight especially in summer it is only dark for about 4 hours so maybe cricket could come up here more light more play. :p :D :p :D :p :D

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

have they got a tea towel with the off side rule vorlon it would have to the size of a beach towel LOL

Must say having watched the closing part the other day shame Flintoff didnt get the last wicket.

Yes there is in the rules a BOWL-to-single-stump rule to tie-break games but think it only used in one day cup games where there has to be a winner

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

sorry granny but what who is that???????????

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

if one side have batted and the other side dont have enough time to finish because of rain or bad light etc ,in the one day or 20/20 matches then the duncan lewis result comes into play... the first batting side have runs or overs deducted ,,,,causes all sorts of grief.

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

thanks granny know what you mean now

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

sorry its DUCKWORTH LEWIS not DUNCAN LEWIS....

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

well england have gone 2/1 up in the ashes......another nail biting finish today
:engsmil: lets hope they win the fith and last in the series at the oval in a few days... cant wait

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Cricket is the most boring game in the world - it's all balls to me! lol.

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Lets see if they have the bottle to finnish the task :) They could still get a shock a week Thursday.

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

things are looking promising, win or weather(british) lol and weve cracked it.

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

I would bet on the weather comming to our aide. ;)

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

got to agree there,but the weather saved the aussies last test,so it would even things up lol ;)

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Aussies ahead for the first three days pee's down for the next two end result a draw. They go home rather miffed, Potin gobbing of about the weather being an extra man on the pitch and not sporting and we get bloutered on the bevvy to celebrate :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

sounds about right to me, pmsl :p

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

What kind of odds are available for the last match win lose or draw weather inc not inc? :) :) :) :)

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

acording to the tele its now 2 to 1 , for england to win .if they only draw australia keep the ashes yet again...

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

How many matches are there in the Ashes? Dont know much about cricket but it doesn't seem so bad when England are playing well.

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

they have 5 test matches at differant venues,the next one is the 5th and it will be played at the oval in a few days time,,,the next series will be in australia,,,,,,,,,,,
the one day matches and the 20/20 matches are realy good if 5 days seems too long and boring...and lancashire is the tops...

Re: Cricket Simply Explained

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
 

Doh brain aint working if it was 2 wins each and the draw then Potin takes the series but if it is 2 wins to 1 win with 2 draws then Freddie F and Co get the series :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: Cricket Simply Explained
