I never fail to find that funny 🙂
Listening to TMS during the last Test, someone texted in to say he was watching the game, when his American wife came into the room, said "Oh, you're busy - I'll come back at the end of the game". It was the first day.
Originally posted by Freddie2006Bit like baseball, then? Oh, except that in baseball only 3 men get out before the teams change, and both teams play like that until they've both been out 9 times, right?
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he is out. When they are all out, the side that's been 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 ...[text shortened]... fter all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
Not sure how many umpires they have though...
Originally posted by dottewellI didn't know you played cricket Dotts, I'm having a run of form lately, I hit 49 three Sundays ago, 36 in the mid-week pub game, 103 not out two weeks ago (personal best), and was run out on 50 this Sunday passed. I have a game today against the 2nd= (with us) team in the pub league, with 2 matches to go. If we win this and the league leaders lose, we've got a chance at the title...
Glad you asked. It was a massive lofted six over long-on. Took them five minutes to retrieve the ball.
