Anyone for Cricket? Nows your chance.
The cricket World cup is currently taking place in blighty. Each side has 50 overs (six balls in each over) to outscore the other. If you can stomach the five mins highlights of each game on the 'tube, you might find some enjoyment in our summer sport. A 'home run' is worth six, the 'at bat' can be caught as in Baseball, and if the 'pitcher' or bowler beats the bat and hits the stumps he's out, LBW is if the 'at bat' misses the ball with his bat and it hits his pads and was going to hit the stumps anyway he's out, and if either the batsman is attempting a run and doesn't reach the batting line and a fielder throws the ball and hits the stumps before he gets there, he's out as well. The basic rules.
