I can explain baseball sometime, very easy to understand, it has
less rules than football. I've never watched cricket so I have
no clue on that one.

Understanding cricket is like understanding something like
molecular biology - you can, after years and years of study,
finally understand everything, but who cares....

That's easy, kill and then bury the opposing team players on the
field and keep the game moving...that is their only rule!!

....picking up the ball in soccer and running with it is how
rugby was invented - in Rugby, England (imagine that!)...what
BPL team do you support?
Flip - great opening game coming up...'Hawks and Pack...one of
us can talk crap afterwards!

I know, I actually went to school in Rugby which is why I do not
follow BPL, only an avid Rugger fan, my team is Widnes, never
miss a game when I go home.. :thumb: :thumb:

That is awesome! My dad was stationed at RAF Heyford and RAF
Croughton in the US Air Force back in the 70's - we lived in
Banbury for two years and we went see some of local teams play
quite a bit....and I never lost the fever.
What a tiny little planet we live on!!

I remember how one time we challenged USAF Burtonwood for a
charity fund raise to play baseball in the morning, their lead
pitcher (ex Cubs farm team) decided he needed to practice his
bowling for Cricket in the afternoon... :snarl: Man that guy
learned fast how to bowl a wicked googly... :shocked:
For teaching purposes the following are examples of genuine
cricket terms...
Bunny,
Arm Ball
Belter
Blob
Chinaman
Dibbly Dobbly Bowlers
And believe me, there are a lot more!! :palm:
