I have been trying all week to understand this cricket malarky

its like a python sketch, silly mid on/off, googlies, out for a duck, and they need a night watchman, does he stand there for 12 hours then ,whats it all about???? Idle, Chapman and co couldn't have writen owt more silly

 

Good length is important as well....

 

allways had a good lenght, ask all my ex's nt

 

That's probably why they're ex's!! nt

 

neither of you , have tried to answer my question, bet yer dont know

you dont do you??, just trying to be smart on the BBs,

 

RE: neither of you , have tried to answer my question, bet yer dont know

Nope, no idea what all this "silly mid off" stuff is all about. All i know is that you get 2 turns to hit as many points as you can and 2 turns to stop the other team doing it and so you need to have more points than them after those 2 turns

 

Here is a famous explanation

"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 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."

 

thanx Doddy, glad there are 2 of us on the same level, ps

the curry's on me

 

RE: allways had a good lenght, ask all my ex's nt

Didn't think your ex's would have known much about how good you are bowling at cricket

 

RE: Here is a famous explanation

very good, but what about them 2 silly men, and why are they called silly. Moreover can they be called silly in a PC world

 

That's a very simple explanation

They are called silly because they are daft enough to stand so close to the batter, taking a risk of getting hit.

Just as you would be called silly if you trusted me and Big Lil to order you a mild curry.

 

RE: That's a very simple explanation

</p>

So they are very silly then!!

I'm silly, but not that silly Ian m8

 

Trust me, Dave

 

Well spotted

You'd have severe trouble avoiding the follow-on if you let us order for you /poo

 

Now he'll never want to come out with us!!

 

And then after you've played for 5 fecking days

it's invariably a draw!

 

would that be a Khorma or a Phal ???? nt

 

RE: Now he'll never want to come out with us!!

Think i could have my arm twisted, but only if i could have steak and chips

 

For you?

A khorma, or a bhuna.
