State of the Game

[Rubbernuke]

Last time a friend of mine was in Pakistan, he had the runs for days. His own fault, though, for thinking that McDonald's is actual food.

This is what you get with lesser chains. Demand the best! Demand Kumo Burger!

Judging by time dilation factor it was one of greatest weeks in my life - those 7 days felt like 3 at most.
Time always rushes like crazy when you are having great time in great company.

So true - glad you had a good break away from it all though mate.

Looks like Pakistan has too many runs to chase.

And they are ditching their wickets a bit too frequently!

Yes, the food does that too me also, what what

For those wondering what the heck I'm on about.

The rules of Cricket explained.

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.

Simple really.

Clear as mud, really. Nice of you to clarify that!

So... Like baseball but without the action? (and hotdogs)?

What Rounders?

Couple of things I've always wondered about American sports.

Why do you call it the world series when only you lot compete?

And why do you call American football football when you just use your hands?

And its not... And I repeat NOT SOCCER!!!

My brain turned inside out while I was trying to make sense of this.

That's Cricket for you...

Now if you really want your head to go full scanners....

I'll bowl you a few googlies, a full yorker and a dibby-dobby just for fun and put you on a sticky wicket.

One does find your childlike understanding of the game fascinating, what what

PSA
Cricket is a game played between five competing teams of highly trained marsupials.

The exact type does not matter but it is absolutely important that they satisfy the following criteria:

A. Must be small arms proficient
B. Are not allowed to have a criminal record
C. Have never watched any daytime TV
D. Do not know who DB is
E. Have never played EDO
F. Do not know who Bottom Hat is

Tara pet, what what

As opposed to Krikkit which was a terrible time in the Galaxies history...

I think I had a stroke trying to make sense of that, and I know the rules of cricket

Why do you call it the world series when only you lot compete?

Well, the Canadians are in it too! You're not one of those foreign agents suggesting that there's a world outside of North America, are you?

And why do you call American football football when you just use your hands?

Alright, there's a fair cop. Don't have an answer for that one. At least not one that makes sense.

And its not... And I repeat NOT SOCCER!!!

Well, we can't really call it football, can we? That's bound to confuse folk. Would injury performance arts do?

I used to remember these things called field goals...

Oh come on! Everyone knows Canada doesn't exist.

Is moving the goals and the posts around considered to be cricket?
