My good friend Tony means well. You see, Tony actually likes Cricket.
Unfortunately, our North American & European friends may now think that Cricket is an actual worthwhile pursuit, and that all Aussies actually follow the game with interest. Not so. Only those with no family, no hobbies, no friends and no life will spend 5 days watching a ridiculous game that usually ends in a draw.
In order to assist people who not familiar with the game of Cricket, I offer this explanation . . . . .
Cricket is a game in which there are 2 sides - one side is out, and the other side is in.
The entire team that is out goes out, until they get the team that is in out.
Each man in the side that is in goes out, and once he is out, he comes in, then the next man goes out until he's out and then he comes in.
When the side that is in is all out, the side that has been out goes in, and the side that was in goes out and tries to get out the side that went in.
Sometimes there are men still in and not out when the side that is in is finally out.
When both sides have been in and out, including those not out, and no longer in - that is the end of the game. (Five days later)
Of course, the side that is in
