ENGLISHFELLOW Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 never get your body in the way of the ball (bones will be broken) never catch without a follow through movement (hand bones will be broken) Link to post Share on other sites
Kosac Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 go to www.lords.org for a good set of rules Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 as the bowler is running in, all fielders should start walking in slowly, just so they arent flat footed. cricket is a very polite sport - remember this. other than that it is pretty simple. i hope my help aint too late......

Gene Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Make sure that the flat side of the bat is facing in front of you. You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've seen people infront of the wickets with their bat the wrong way round. Usually it's out of nervousness, but still, DON'T DO IT!

doc_newstead Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 The Rules of Cricket 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 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!

Sledge Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 A wide variety of sporting equipment is thrown into the sealed arena. Each player should then take an item and hit another player with it. This done, they should retreat and apologise with the aid of a megaphone. Link to post Share on other sites
mower Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 lol WHAT! no one has told him about sledging yet! lol it has nothing to do with sledge and is actually against the rules but its bloody good fun. when the umpires arnt looking do anything you can to put of the bats man, pick on ANYTHING you can see. lol its just like the supporters at the matches chanting, just be "polite" when the umpires are looking Link to post Share on other sites
