Cricket is easy to understand.
First you're in, and you go out onto the field in twos, until one is out, then they come in again and so it goes on until ten are out then eleven come in again and the other team is in and go out two by two onto the field...
Simple, isn't it...
I've a better one. When the first two batsmen go in/out onto the field, take two cold lagers out of the fridge, one representing each batsman. Drink them one mouthful per ball as each batsman takes his turn. When one batsman goes out, down anyremaining contents of that bottle and open another. Proceed until all ten players are out. Down the bottle that is the "not-out" batsman and drink the "twelfth man' as well before the other team goes in to bat.
Open another brand of lager to represent the other team and proceed in like fashion... Simpler and more thirst-quenching, I think...?

i see a bit of a problem with that theory; if the first two batsmen go on to make 50 + each it could be a very dry arguement WR

I don't hold with all that "Pyjama party" stuff. That sort of thing could bring the empire to its knees ...

Linus, one can always step outside the ground during the tea-break to enjoy a quick or in the pub, you know!
Watching Cricket is thirsty stuff, after all, so there's no need to get dehydrated...!
