A bunch of South Asian kids at my kids’ school appear to have an informal after-school cricket league going. Aside from that and a long-ago attempt by a middle-school gym sub to teach the game (she failed), I have no clue about cricket.

Honestly…
“THE GENTLEMAN WILL BUMBLEFURT EARL GREY IN THE STCKY WICKET, SAY WHAT?”
…
Clearly it’s actually:
“THE GENTLEMAN WILL BUMBLEFURT EARL GREY IN THE STICKY WICKET, EH, WOT?”
…
Nice try.

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.

The largest cricket complex in North America is not far from me, and I have near zero idea about any of it. I think I need to play video games of some of these sports to learn them better.

I have the first half of this on a linen kitchen towel that my parents got in Trinidad in the early 70s. It’s almost threadbare so I won’t use it anymore! But it’s the best description of cricket!
Thanks for the full text!

I have no idea about the game of crickets.
Decades ago had to buy them every other day to feed a bearded dragon.

Pure Poetry. And all on a linen treadbare kitchen towel from Trinidad. No more confusion about the darned flat-bat game.
Thank you kindly

You used the wrong gif, Dave. Britney knows about the sport cricket. Clearly, the sport is what inspired her to write her hit, “[Hit Me] Baby One More Time.” It captures the team mates going back amd forth hitting with the stick or willow.
Tenacious D definitely up the game on that song

I felt it important to add to this discussion that I have absolutely nothing important I can add to this discussion.
That is all.

That they have to play misic with their back legs.
Because in reality their front arms work well too playing music.
