Answer 7

There are two teams, one team is in and the other one is trying to get them out.  The 'In team' only play two members at any one time and each carries a bat.  There is an arrangement of sticks called a wicket that the 'In team' defend whilst the other team try to knock down.  The batsmen try to hit the cricket ball as far as possible whenever they get a chance.  Once the ball has been belted far away the batsmen to cause confusion run to opposing ends of the set playing area also called a wicket.  Eventually all of the 'in team' are out and the other team now becomes the 'in team' Some of the bowlers or ball chuckers are very aggressive and try to maim the batsmen,  Some batsmen attempt to 'accidentally'  touch the bowlers with a bat and break the odd arm.  Some of the cricketers are snobs and are called Gentlemen whilst the rest who have little money are called Players.  Spectators are encouraged to fall asleep during the matches and of late copious amounts of canned drinks are consumed to assist this.  And this, as they say... is that.......
