Two of his drives hit cars travelling past the ground, the Sunday Morning Post reported, and others threatened players on a nearby tennis court.

Pssssh, balls are hit out of Wrigley Field (baseball stadium in Chicago) every day Maybe the drivers should drive tanks...no need to worry about dents then.

para, wouldnt that make road rage more fun?

I'll take your word for it...we dont have baseball in Sa

whack it hard enough and it goes to the moon

I can't imagine a life without baseball. I feel for you sw...

I think Cricket is one of the most confusing games I know.
Well, don't know actually. I mean... never mind

OK .... So how large is the oval? I gather that the bowling pitch is something like 69+ feet in length but what's the oval's radius or is that something that varies from venue to venue?

In the US baseball stadiums vary in overall boundary dimensions and I get the impression that the same goes for the cricket oval.

I don't understand cricket! Can anyone explain it to me?!

Click here because it'd take a fair while to explain it myself and I really cbf. I'd say you'd really have to see a game with someone who can explain it to you to really get it though. I mean we field arguably the best team in the world and have a summer dominated by the game and it still took me till I was 10 y.o. to really get it, granted I really couldn't be arsed learning the game but still.

Heres the funny version:

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 that's 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 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! Howzat!

I thought I knew how to play cricket... now I'm not sure I do

My gap year in borneo!

you should try hurling as played in ireland. like in ice hockey everybody gets a stick just to even up the odds, except wearing of proctective gear is a sign of weakness and makes you an instant target.

basic tactics are like FL: cause as mush damage as you can without getting killed yourself. add a touch of aincient tribal war fare and you've got a game on.

as for the rules...what rules?

@Nickless....I prefer cricket...and since we've never had baseball I don't feel like i'm missing anything.

@Indy...I dont know
