ORIGINAL: Chickenboy Um hmmm...makes perfect sense: 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! warspite1 Simples Simples, he says. I'm still trying to figure out if that scene on the PoB book with Maturin playing was supposed to be funny or show how awesome he was. Warspite1 Que? Theres a scene in one of the later Aubrey/Maturn books (Nutmeg of Consolation, I think) where Maturin gets roped in to play cricket and does something that could be either awesome or stupid. But because I have no idea what the rules are, I dont know which it is.
