Explaining the English game of cricket
A light hearted look at the arrogant English
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 is out he comes back in , and the next man goes in until he is out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that has been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
Sometimes you get a man still in and not out.
A leg before wicket puts the man thats in out
When both sides have been in and out, including the not outs:-
That is the end of the game.
The ladies keep score and serve cucumber sandwiches
Australians have been known to play the game
HOWZAT
Not a lot of people knows that.... as Michael Caine would say
No wonder that we lost the game to the rest of the empire
Simply Steve
