>Now you know why the rules to cricket are complicated - we just like things that way.

Robert;

We have a park about one and a half blocks from our house where they play cricket. I have heard about some cricket games lasting 3-4 days, but these guys only stay from sun up till sun down. Too bad the park does not have lights - if it did maybe I would get to see one of those multi day games.

I have been trying to learn something about cricket. So I looked at a rule book and watched a game. Things were happening in the game that I did not understand so I had a hard time. I may never understand cricket but I can at least watch it for a few minutes without becoming confused at what is happening. Could cricket be like English Grammar? There are exceptions to the exceptions! That may be a clue! :)
