The main rule to understand is that every couple of years England trounce the Aussies and retain a small urn of wicket ash. Oh and never rough up your balls.

1st. Requirement: Participants most be Flaming Gay.

I think you may have gotten cricket confused with that rounders game you fellows like to play.

An American? Probably not.

No I didn't. Cricket is the game where you catch bugs with a Net and then try to force fuck the bug up the opponent's ass.

Annette is a very nice young lady and I'll not stand here in my bathtub and listen to such loutish utterances!

Good day sir!

Cricket: As explained to a foreigner...

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 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!

Who'd have thought a thread about Cricket could make me laugh.
You two are funny.

The rules are somewhat complicated, because it's played in our posh public schools like Eton. You should have picked up the basic premiss though.

The video below may help explain things a little better...

That's the gayest thing I've ever seen.

Yes it is rather jolly, isn't it.

LOL, um no the other meaning...

Don't know why the ICC are not holding an international tournament in America ! There were plans a few years ago. What happened ?

As much as I am tempted to post something amusing, here is a serious response

No wonder you think so! They are playing Chipping Sodbury rules, everyone else has moved on to the Littlehampton code now.
