1. 10 men fielding - nice asses on display when they bend over in the slips
2. 1 man bowling, he rubs the ball in his groin (love watching that - some bowlers really get into it)
3. 2 men with bats and pads (and a box in their jocks which they like to adjust all the time (love watching that too - some batsmen really get into that as well)
4. There's some bat on ball action - some hit hard to make them run between the wickets - others they paddle back to practise their technique (then adjust their box again!)
5. When the bowler/catcher gets a wicket, everyone hugs him and touches his butt (and that's when I wish I was the only female cricketer in the team!)

Few Lines On Cricket

Cricket has a number of different forms, Test cricket played over a 5 day period and One Day cricket played with each team being allowed to bowl for 40 overs. The idea is to get the batting team out with as few runs as possible. Actually the game is less complicated than baseball.

no dont give up it is really interesting i am from india in our country cricket is like religion you would have seen some info in wiki i will tell you some more.a noball(foul) is given if the bowler(pitcher) crossses the crease while running to bowl the ball and the batting team is given 1 run and the ball will not be counted.a wide ball is given if the bowler bowls the ball beyond the reach of the batsman and a run is given and the ball is not counted each side can face 300 balls in a one day match provided all members int he team are not out.the various ways in which a batsman is declared out are caught,bowled(if the ball hits atleast one of the three sticks) runoutthe fielder hits the stumps(three sticks) with the ball before the runner reaches the crease and leg before wicket if the ball hits the batsmans leg while his leg is in front of the middle stick.enjoy cricket.

Its just like baseball except you can hit the ball wherever you want (no foul balls)

- Once you're out, you're out. You can get out most of the time by hitting a ball and getting caught by a fielder.
- When the pitcher (bowler) pitches (bowls) and if the hitter misses it and the ball hits the stumps, hes out.

A home run in baseball terms is 6 runs in cricket.

A ground rule double or several bounces on the field before going into the stand is considered four runs.

Everytime you hit the ball and run from one end to another you get 1 run.

The team in the field has the goal of knocking over pieces of wood in the middle of the field called wickets. The batting team has the goal of stopping the other team from doing this.

When the batter hits the ball, he must run from one end of the brown area to the other, and back again to score a run.

Team with the most runs wins

team bats and hit the ball and run and then have a total at the end. then the second team who have just been bowling try to beat this score. if the ball goes over the rope without bouncing it is 6 runs if it bounces b4 it goes over da rope 4 runs. the bowling team have to try and hit those 3 sticks called stumps.

When the team in white are in, then the team in white are out.
You can score 1, 4 or 6, or sometimes fewer.
You have to run east-west, unless your pitch is set at another angle
You should stop for tea
