England makes fight of it
December 30 2002

"Australia's second-innings curse struck again in Melbourne today against an aggressive
English pace attack before Australia won the fourth Ashes Test by five wickets.

Adam Gilchrist cut English paceman Steve Harmison for four to take Australia to 5-107
and give the home side a 4-0 lead in the best-of-five."

...oh yeah...summer and the cricket, we're really giving those Poms a hiding eh..?...fully sick!!
anyways, I bet a lot of you fellas are mad keen cricket fans...so Let's Talk Cricket!..freak:

The scoring system in cricket totally baffles me. I kinda understand the fundamentals of gameplay, but I have no idea how they score the game.

...well, you hit the ball and both batsmen run from end to end as many times as possible before
fielders get the ball and hit the stumps. If they ran the length of the wicket 3 times, that's 3 runs.
The ball reaches the boundary = 4 runs
The ball goes out on the full = 6 runs
The hazy summer heat turns me into a smiling zombie = 8 beers etc eek:
