Can one of you British Commonwealth types explain...

Cricket to me? No clue. Sort of like baseball but like Jam Bands they go on for days...And it's played in a circle of sorts?

Too good for the likes of you, tbh.

Stick to rounders.

I wish Fox was here, he would nail the answer

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 thats 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 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!

There's none of this 'bottom of the ninth' malarkey...

And Collingwood is hardly likely to get smacked off on 'roids during 'Tea' either...

All you need to know is that the batsman's holding the bowlers willey.

Classic answer is something like ...

All part of the service mate. Well, actually, service is tennis related but you get the point

LOL. Too slow grandad.

Dreadfully boring game that only two types of people care about, retired people and rich people, usually the same.

And Australians.

It's another sport we invented, but now suck at

This sounds like your courting style to me.

In out In out shake it all about?

 

[Durham Toffee]

If you're out can you be in?

What if, in going in, you end up out? Or if you're already out and go in, does that mean you're in again even though you're out?
