The Rules of Cricket



We are well into the Cricket season, so this might come in handy for those who don't understand the game.

    There are young people, I think from Shrilanka, that play cricket in an old empty parking area near our neighbourhood and, pensioners who sit around to watch them play seem to have learnt the rules. I will have to look at the video now.

      Perhaps you should show the video to the 'pensioners'!

      Ha ha! I think these are the exact same comments the pensioners make, like in this video!

    Ah, those were the days. I remember them well. I also recall sitting in the LCCC members stand (another wonderful British use of words) watching England v Pakistan in 1975. Now it's just a business like any other. Which is a shame.

      I was a member at Sussex in the early 1980's when Imran was still playing. It was often lacklustre.

    Crikey. That's not cricket. Cricket is what the Windies used to play.

    Come back Viv Richards. All is forgiven.

      There are only three types of real cricket. Prep' school cricket, village cricket, and test cricket. I remember the days of Botham, Richards, and Co, very well. That was the last time I really took an interest. It's never been the same since.

      Viv used to knock them out of the ground at Rishton. Anybody waiting for a bus in the nearby street stood the risk of a headache.

      Lady Magnon used to make the Teas for my sons team. It was a lot of work!

    Quite amusing. By osmosis, I seem to know a bit more about the game .

      The more I watch Rugby, the less I seem to understand.

    As good as any explanation of the game, especially the getting drunk part afterwards! Funny

    Didn't work on my site but really cricket has always been a closed book and not sure I want enlightening anyway.
