Cricket is actually quite simple to understand.
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 that's 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!
And, yes, this actually made sense to me. Any questions?

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig? Do the dolphins know about the pig?)
Bonobo chimps fall into this category. I think the pig and the lion species are perhaps the most fortunate.
Did you ever hear about the mile-a-month society?

About the energy of the atom bomb, at age 86, I seem to be producing more energy than at any other time of my life.

Yes sir a few questions, what about silly mid on and silly mid off fine leg and extra fine leg. Also a bowler bowling a googly or doosra. You also never mentioned sledging that goes on, mostly in five day test matches against the Dreaded Australians. What's a jaffa or perhaps, a lolly. what's a howzat? and break one's duck and Red-inker, or Dorothy Dix,
To be continued......
Thanks Bob for enlightening your fellow countrymen......lol lol

It might be good that elephants don't jump, but I'm happier that they don't fly! 2 things, 1) can you imagine them landing on a statue 2) What would it look after knowing what pigeons do to statues after they landed!

If you ever visit Spain, go to Barcelona and see, Sagrada Familia Cathedral, that was attacked by a flying elephant and still is, for the past 136 years, See photograph.
I bet you think I'm joking with you. Photographs don't lie..............The crane is helping to remove all the elephant poo that you can see with your own eyes.........honest this is true.
