Let the following replace the entry for “Cricket” in every encyclopedia.
Cricket
Do you desire to play a real fun outdoor game with eleven men on opposing teams? A game that only requires a bat and a ball plus a couple of wooden wickets positioned 20 meters apart? Well then take my hand and follow me into the bad part of town, for you are joining our cricket tournament.
Are you ready? — No? — Why!? Oh, because you don’t know how to play? Alright, then I’ll explain:
It’s just like Siamese baseball. First the bowler throws the ball, and the enemy team’s guy tries to hit the ball and sprint to the other wicket while screaming full-throatedly. If successful, he scores a run. — However, if the fielding team catches the ball, then the enemy is “out”: he must go lie down in his coffin. And the result is the same if you get your wicket knocked down.
(To answer your question: I’m not sure what happens if you throw the ball at someone’s face, but I wouldn’t recommend trying it.)
The only other thing that you need to know is the cricket glossary. Memorize the following terms:
- bowling crease
- stumps
- bails
- duck
