Title: ICC Cricket World Cup
Post by: CFC_Conky on March 01, 2011, 03:28:09 PM
So, I'm having a beer in a bar somewhere on the far side of the international date line and the match between Sri Lanka and Kenya is on the tele.

I don't understand the first thing about cricket but one of the chaps at our table does. He says: "Cricket is very simple, basically there are three ways to score..." and then he begins to explain the game.

....1:15 minutes later, he's STILL explaining how to play.....

All I got out of it was: when the bowler throws the ball, I've got to scream "HOW'S THAT!"...

Yup, very simple :P

When the bowler throws the ball, you scream "NO BALL!"

Hmm, I went to a cricket match once in Brisbane. 1974 I think.

Or was it '75.

Somebody did throw a ball but I didn't hear what was shouted  :-\

If it was a test match it's probably still going on  :D
