Yes, all English, Indian, Australian, Jamaican, Pakistani and Zimbabwean people can explain all the mysteries of cricket, with diagrams, statistics and clever idioms. Unfortunately, for those of us who are not English, Indian, Australian, etc., these explanations are completely meaningless. Basically, there's a ball, some people run about for three days, everyone applauds and then they shake hands and toss a coin to decide who's won. Then the ones with white jumpers get photographed by newspaper journalists who complain the next day about national pride. I think they might be masons. Odpowiedz Link
missus.c Re: can somebody explain to me 10.01.06, 17:07 oh dear! i didn't know about the mason theory! Can you be hindu and still be a mason? Personally I find it funny how the British (allegedly) taught it to all their friends in the commonwealth and now alwyas get beaten by them Ok, so last year they won, right? But what IS cricket? A wicket and all that and those funny pads on their legs and innings and outings and why does it go on for dayyyyys?! Odpowiedz Link

But they are allowed to talk about it, and they're even encouraged to waffle on about it endlessly, they're just not allowed to explain clearly what the point of it is. Just like in the masons. "Is it true you roll up your your trouser legs?" "Yes, we do give a lot of money to charity." "Are the masons a secret society?" "Well, I'm not a mason, but if I was I would admit it, so that proves we're not a secret society." Exactly like cricket. Including the homoeroticism. Odpowiedz Link

russh Re: can somebody explain to me 14.01.06, 12:48 Eternally boring, both Waldek and Cricket. The only difference is that the social summer Sunday afternoons on the village green, drinking beer and socialising, that go with cricket are fantastic. Odpowiedz Link

russh Re: can somebody explain to me 14.01.06, 13:27 I don't think you necessarily need to understand it to enjoy the atmosphere, although it really is a simple game (to understand).

piotr9980 Re: can somebody explain to me 15.01.06, 00:59 I'm a player of cricket and willing to explain something. cricket is the game of gentlemen (at least english believes) there are two kind of cricket matches one day match - obviously it takes one day,two innings,each inning would have 50 hours game. test cricket match - it takes five days,but sometimes result can be declared before fifth day,due to poor performance of one team.mostly test matches are boring for those who never played crciekt. 1.each cricket team consists of 11 players 2.there would be 2 ampire during match on the ground,third ampire would be sitting infront of computers. ---------------------------------------- bowler - person who will throw the ball towards the batsman batsman - person who hits the ball fielders - 10 players who are ready to run after ball wicketkeeper - man behind the stumps ---------------------------------------- Its hard for me to explain about this game on forum,but I can learn you that how to play cricket on ground within one week covering all basic rules of the game. PS I am a right hand batsman and right arm fast bowler Odpowiedz Link
ms.jones Re: can somebody explain to me 15.01.06, 02:08 On which planet is the day long enough to play a 'one day match' for 50 hours? Your boredom threshold has to be well above average to watch it for five minutes (no offence to cricketers). The rules are simple wemadeoutinatreeandthisoldguysatandwatchedus.com/view.php?id=119 Explanation of how to play Cricket 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 all 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 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!" Odpowiedz Link

russh Hey Piotr - Learn some manners, and quickly. 16.01.06, 10:40 Retarded is a fairly damming insult you know, and if it not (an insult), then it's even worse.

ms.jones Re: Hey Piotr - Learn some manners, and quickly. 16.01.06, 16:56 If you go to Britain Express site - the UK travel and heritage guide - click on history then culture, and under pastimes you'll find 'cricket' with its history and, shock horror, the offending rules. They are accompanied by the following: Editor's note: The humorous piece of seeming nonsense above really does describe the game of cricket perfectly. I guess they were written by some cricketers with a sense of humour. It takes all sorts to make the world, I wouldn't dream of accusing you of being one of them. Odpowiedz Link
kylie1 Re: can somebody explain to me 16.01.06, 21:46 Sorry for offending you so much, Piotr. I might have a rather off beat sense of humor at times but I am well familiar with golf ettiquette myself. Believe it or not those questions pop up quite often. I have seen people belch and pass wind on golf courses. If it's a semi private or public course, you can get away with that. If you are on a private one, you might get fined or you get a strike against you and you will not feel welcome next time. Have you heard of a guy that passed wind that blew sand out of the bunker? Serious stuff.The golf course charged him to replace the sand. Someone like you wouldn't know that because you probably know as much about golf as you do about the game of cricket. In case you wanted to know. Odpowiedz Link
usenetposts Re: can somebody explain to me 17.01.06, 11:00 There's an important golf match in progress, they're playing for club trophy, it's the final match between two old gents and suddenly funereal music is heard ... have I told this one? One of the players takes his hat off and stops playing for two minutes as the funeral procession passes on the road near by. The other player aftersays "I found that very touching, the respect you showed back there for that deceased person". "Well, I felt I should do something. After all, we were man and wife for forty three years". Odpowiedz Link
ianek70 Golf terminology 18.01.06, 12:49 People who play golf ("golfers" I believe they call themselves nowadays) probably know this, but lay people, like myself (and also the heroine of the famous chemistry teacher joke) may not. an "Adolf Hitler" is when you take two shots in a bunker an "Arthur Scargill" is a really great strike, but with a poor result They might have got as far as "B", but it's a slow game...
