lol how good was malinga hitting clark for a 4 and 2 6s in the over before lunch. i can imagine jayawardene sitting there going "zomg wtf you doing?!?! hold til lunch you phags!"

i was actually surprised that sangakara was going for it too. guess he wanted to get to his double before they were all out.

lee totally deserves man of series, but maybe sangakara for man of match after two big innnings in a side getting raped.

...

on other cricket news... rip darren "boof" leehman. best player to never hold a permanent spot in the aussie side. i think so.

lol, yeah he's stepping out to the legside &amp; throwing everything at it as if it's the 50th over in a 1 dayer!

Could u ever imagine murali trying to protect his stumps tho, as soon as u put him out to bat u expect to see him soon, they should just bat him 1st to get the inevitable out of the way!

[00Snitch]

Gib has alerted me to the fact that "those silly yanks arn't going to know what the [censored] we are talking about" - im paraphrasing here.

in light of this, i thought i would give all you taht are not-so-knowledgeable a quick refresher in...

The Rules of Cricket

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 thats 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 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!


Easy yes?

[OziBattler]

Snitch, that is awesome.....but only because I know what you are talking about....you that little lol that you get when reading/watching something and you cant lol loudly because it is inappropriate (eg quite office at work)...well I just got one of those reading that. harharhar.

Forgot to mention when I went to go see Beowulf, the theater still had this poster:



and I lol'd.

[JavaNut]

Snitch, that is the perfect way to describe cricket, if you do not know what it is all about, you know even less after reading that.

Reminds me of the story of the two men in a balloon (or rather just under in that basket thingy). They get into some fog and get lost. After a while the fog clears, and they see a man in a field below.

One of the men yells down to the man and ask him: "Could you tell us where we are?", then man in the field answers "You are in a basket under a hot air balloon!", then the other man in the basket under the balloon ask the man below "Are you a mathematician?", the man below answers "Yes!".

The first man in the basket under the balloon then ask the second man in the basket under the balloon "How did you know?". "Well" says the second man in the basket under the balloon "he gave you a perfectly correct answer, that was of no use for you whatsoever!".

[OziBattler]

nice but i like the other version where the guy in the balloon is a clueless manager and because the guy on the grounds doesnt know the answer it is thus his fault that clueless manager is lost
