The picture is of a baseball pitcher, not a bowler.


By the way, I used to play cricket with a guy who bowled mediums right-handed and spin left-handed.
The really sad thing was that he was a much better bowler than me with either hand.

Where I grew up, a pitcher is something used to hold water.....

ah....cricket......just learning the names of the player's position is confusing:

#1: wicketkeeper.
#2: slip.
#3: gully.
#4: point.
#5: cover.
#6: third man.
#7: fine leg.
#8: mid-wicket.

And that is just the start...it would take w-a-a-a-y to long to explain the game to anyone......which in essence is trying to survive a guy bowling a rock hard ball to you at 100 mph, with full intent to either kill you or maim you for life, while you are dressed from head to toe in various armor.

When I played cricket in school, there was no armor, save for some leg pads, and a plastic cup to protect the family jewels. Suffice it to say, I did not catch on to this sport.

A test game between two nations can take several days to complete..despite the brutality of the bowler, watching paint dry is about the equivalent to watching as cricket game..

I prefer "watching the grass grow"....

Not really, it's quite simple:

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!
