Why don't you go to New Zealand and ask that one?
they are shit...sth. africa the best
Have you ever tried to explain cricket to anyone who doesn't
come from a cricket-playing country? I've spent hours trying
to teach my Greek, German and Dutch mates (ok they play
cricket in Holland but not much) and they just cannot get
it. And that's not the LBW rule or the rain affected overs
thing either, but simple stuff like why there are two
blokes with sticks and eleven blokes standing around. I
think you have to be brought up with it.
Unbeatable my arse, Checkout the result against New Zealand
in the world cup.

Thankyou Richo for you understaning. A Australian man tell me Australia unbeatable in everything and New zealand only good for growing sheeps and other things which I did not understand. I should go to New zealand then for looking at cricket.
but we whipped your arse! Thanks to Rogar Twose you guys
got a roger-ing!
The West Indies will return to their former greatness.
Aussie my ass, the only reason we lost the test to them is
because of the stupid guyanese fans. Trust me, don't take
them lightly.......
Hi. I'm a Canadian living in Sydney now. It took me an
entire month for me to learn what I know now which isn't
much. I suggest you just sit down with some Aussies or Brits
and watch the game. When you don't understand something ask
someone. They won't be annoyed. As long as there's a steady
supply of drinks and their favorite team is winning, then
everyone's happy.
Shane Warne is not the man to watch. He's a good bowler
(that's the guy pitching the ball), maybe one of the best in
the world now but the man to watch is Rick Ponting. He's the
guy who usually gets the most points in the one-game
matches.
E-mail sometime and we can pretend to talk about crickett
like real aussies and kiwis
One team goes out, and waits for the first two batsmen to go
in. When one of the batsmen is out, he goes in and the next
batsmen comes out. This continues until all the batsmen are
out, unless the captain calls them in. At which point the
other team goes out and waits for the first two batsmen to
come out. When all this team is out, it is again the turn of
the other team to come in.............. get it?
Hey Cameron, it's not that easy. What defines "getting out"?
Who wins? How does the scoring work? Why does the "pitcher"
bounce the ball and not just chuck it? What makes the
flipper different from the zooter? And how the fuck could
we possibly have lost to New Zealand? I tell you, it's
impossible to explain cricket to somebody who doesn't have
it in their DNA - it makes you want to bang your head
against a wall.
