NUMBER ONE REASON WHY YOU SHOULDN'T VOTE FOR OBAMA!
Tom:
lol wut? tl;dr
Spluff:
Yeah, cricket is not hard at all.
Eris:
It can be simplified to:
- One team hits the ball while the other throws or catches it
- The team with the bats try and run back and forth as much as possible without letting the other team catch the ball on the full/knock over the wicket.
- After one team gets all out the roles swap and the process repeats itself
At least that is how I watch cricket. I also watch it by leaving the room for the majority of the match and coming back to it every now and then to see how the numbers have changed. It goes much quicker that way because you're actually doing something you want to do.

Maybe I'm stupid when it comes to sports in general, but even that explanation, est, went waaaaay over my head.

Honestly this is the best way to watch cricket, particularly in a Test Match (5 days, unlimited overs, very sloooow pace).
Hey also, cos I came across it in a Wiki-ramble last week:
--- Quote from: Wikipedia article on the "v" sign ---During the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, figure skater Janet Lynn stumbled into Japanese pop culture when she fell during a free-skate period—but continued to smile even as she sat on the ice. Though she placed only third in the actual competition, her cheerful diligence and indefatigability resonated with many Japanese viewers, making her an overnight celebrity in Japan. Afterwards, Lynn (a peace activist) was repeatedly seen flashing the V sign in the Japanese media. Though the V sign was known of in Japan prior to Lynn's use of it there (from the post-WWII Allied occupation of Japan), she is credited by some Japanese for having popularized its use in amateur photographs.[23] According to the other theory (actually present in the Japanese version of this entry), the V sign was popularized by the actor and singer Jun Inoue, who showed it in the Conica photo camera commercial in 1972.
