YESSSS!!!

Only lost 5 tests, the ashes first whitewash in 70 odd years and the last 6 or so one day games... including to NZ.

Finally.

I hope this reverses the trend and the next ashes is a nail biter... not a pillow biter for the Poms.

How do you play cricket?

You get a really, really tiny bow, hold his legs, and bow 'crost his little antennae. Awful sounding.

You do realise that our captain wasn't playing in that match, don't you? :laugh4:

Seriously, when you get excited after winning 1 game and losing 17 you know you've got serious problems :beam:

Nah this is far better:

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 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!

Are there professional Cricketeers? Guys who have that as their only job? Do women? (Just out of curiosity).

Of course there are :laugh4:

There is women's cricket but like most men's sports it's not big business for them.

Yeah most female cricketers don't earn too much. Some do alright and have minor advertising agreements, but for the most part it doesn't pay too much for them.

Male cricketers on the other hand earn a lot.
