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 been 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!

Hope that helps...

Thanks, this guide is simply outstanding! Out of this world! Hopefully I now have some insight into the game.

:D

Is there a leetspeek version? That could be interesting, and they're all foreigners.

You forgot about the beer drinking. It's mandatory.

An extremely important part of cricket, indeed.

I still submit that it is European Calvin Ball.

Sonuvabitch! I thought I was finally going to get a real explanation.

Yep... Hope... it does spring eternal.

But some questions, when does the man in goes out and when does the out come in? And what happens if the man in goes out to come in only to get out?

It's a pretty complex game.. A real explanation would take too much time to write down lol. Why not give Wiki a visit?

dunno, the OP is pretty great... especially when you read it in a John Cleese accent. :D

Heh, nice.. Good fun.

But yea, if you get out, your out until your teams in. Then your in. But if you get them all out, then you can get back out.

When a man gets out another man goes in to replace.. until no more men can go in (11 batsmen total).

When a man goes in and goes out again then he's a duck

and if he's a duck, does he quack up? :D

no seriously... what's a Duck mean in Cricket?
so was there ever a time when all the men in are out with the men that are out?

Happens more often than you might think;)

It's called a duck when a batsman is out without having scored any runs.

He's a golden duck if he's out first ball of the innings and a diamond duck if it's the 1st ball of the game

He's a golden duck if he's out first ball of the innings and a diamond duck if it's the 1st ball of the game
As an opening batsmen, I've never gotten a golden or diamon duck heh.

*watches for several overs*

I say, when does it begin?

Sonuvabitch! I thought I was finally going to get a real explanation.
That is a perfectly accurate and real explanation. :p

The best bit about Cricket is standing at silly mid off while a googly comes down the pitch, gets a snick and the gully and slips all jump up shouting "AWZAT"..................

Does anyone remember:

Don't cross the Border or it's Waugh!

All that in out in out .... cricket is sexy!

Does anyone remember:

"The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willy"
good old Aggers.

Naw, twas just some old lady misunderstanding what Aggers said on Auntie Beeb, right?

"The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willy"

Hah, Micheal Holding the batsman? Peter Willey the bowler? Well, he bowled a bit anyway. Other way round methinks.

She heard, and I quote:

Yeah that's the one.

Yeah that's the one.


But only from the gaswork's end...

i thought a diamond duck was when you are out without facing a ball (eg. run out without facing a ball)

Is it? A golden duck is out first ball, but I've never heard anyone say that one. Mind you, it doesn't exactly happen that often. :p

I thought someone was run out for nothing quite recently, although I can't remember who or when. They might have faced a ball or two though.

Meh. Not a clue. Ian Bell might be a candidate.

A bit of a Chandra?
