Thanks Antonye. That just about sums up my understanding of what's occurring in a cricket game. I've been struggling with the rediculous phraseology of cricket since I started dating a (non-biking) cricket player. He's very kindly provided me with a hand drawn diagram of what all the fielding positions are (unsolicited, I might add). I've been to watch 3 or 4 games. Lovely pleaseant English country scene, sun shining, dog sitting politely by my side wondering what F**k we're doing there, and still I'm none the wiser. Let's face it, they overcomplicate the terminology because frankly it's all talk and not enough balls. Not like biking.
