I have tried to make sense of this strange game. I have only seen it on commercials and have heard that some matches can.last for three days. I am confused,can some.of our u.k. mobians explain please?

Damn i was hoping some one had explained it too. Lol

Sorry, don't understand it either....lol, but i do get to watch once in a while. There's a park here that they use as a cricket field.

gosh um explain criket? well i could give it a bash: the aim of the game is to get more "runs" than the opposing team you get runs by running the length of the pitch when you hit the ball. you get 4 runs for getting the ball over the boundrary that is at the edge of the field, and 6 runs if you hit the ball way out side the field. however the bowler of the ball will try to get you "out" there are multiple ways of getting out, first if any of the opposing team catches the ball after it gets hit but before it hits the ground. then theres lbw which i dont know how to explain that one lol, and runout if you dont make it to the stumps in time and the opposing team hits them with the ball, and finally the bowler can hit the stumps you are guarding and get you out. yes thats a test match that can last 3 days, its a best of 3 game match. phew! any questions?

@nhguyinwoods: Hey buddy :) Long time no hear lol :) Anyway James explained it well :) .. And our New Zealand Cricket Team got an embrassing worst ever loss against South Africa :( Worst ever for New Zealand as far as Cricket goes !!
