Thank you CB - I seem to remember promising to teach you the rules of cricket so I might as well start here:

Lesson 1. How to bowl a maiden over. I have six balls and if you don't run it's a maiden over.

Lesson 2 What is a Wicket? A wicket is the the name given to the pieces of wood at either end of the wicket which can be knocked down each time a player loses his wicket.

Hmmm...and oh..and uh huh..(taps index finger against side of head) very uh, complex this game. Balls and maidens and wickets? Oh My! Now of course, I will want to know how one loses a wicket. Are they carted about on the persons of the players and accidentally dropped from holes in pockets? Odd game, this insect-named affair.

Well, pray continue, I'm fascinated. For now. Until baseball season is underway. LOL

Say, is that Memny over there, moping about and pointing to scores?
