Understanding Cricket

[**Rowland Croucher**]

For those who will be watching The Ashes cricket series between England
and Australia starting in July (2009) (or who live outside the old
British Empire and wish you were):

In order to assist people who are not familiar with the game of Cricket,
we offer this explanation.

Cricket is a game in which there are 2 sides - one out on the field, and
the other in.

Each man in the side that is in goes out, and when he is out he comes
in, then the next man goes out until he's out and then he comes in.

When the side that is in is all out, the side that has been out goes in,
and the side that was in goes out and tries to get out the side that
went in.

Sometimes there are men still in and not out when the side that is in is
finally out.

When both sides have been in and out, including those not out and no
longer in - that is the end of the game . . . .
