A black day for cricket

[ShadesWolf]

Okay, you guys have got this poor kid across the pond confused...tea breaks? Seriously? I do remember hearing things about months-long games, so I suppose there would have to be breaks of some sort. This game confounds my American sensibilities. Hell, I am finally figuring out soccer (err, "football"), and that's primarily becuase I have a French boss.

Our parent nation plays strange sports...

The game goes on for 5 days..... Yes i did say 5 days

Each days starts at about 11.AM. and should finish at 6PM if the allocated number of overs have been bowled. Usually 90 per day. If not, then it can go on a little longer.

Morning session 11-1PM
1 PM Lunch
Afternoon session 1.40 - 3.40 (ish)
3.40 PM Tea
4.00 - 6.00pm Evening session

Just as the ancient Greeks judged those who didn't speak their language to be hoi barbaroi, so likewise we Brits judge all those who don't play cricket.
