They're just sucking up to the bullies to the south. Otherwise they get taunts of "George the third! George the third" from over the border.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out to the middle where he is in until he's out, at which point he comes back in and the next man goes out to be in until he's out.
When they're all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When both sides have been in and out including the not outs, that's the end of the game.
What could be simpler?

I think that Canada should stay in the Commonwealth, but that Australia should be kicked out of the ICC for having the score the wrong way round!
Apologies if the rest of the country do things properly, but this is based on the Channel 9 coverage that the BBC are using for highlights on their website (sorry, only available to UK broadband users). But even so! 0/4 means that the batting team have scored no runs and have lost 4 wickets, not the other way round.

I suppose the mitigating circumstances are that in Australia, everything is upside down.

Normally I just ignore field cricket as a spectator sport for exceedingly dull people, but when the Ashes series is held in my own city, making normal parking zones into no more than 15 minute parking, which in turn makes getting to work and finding somewhere to park quite problematic, I start wondering where a Jihad extremist is when you need one.

Canadians don't play field cricket? That is grounds to have them ejected from the Commonwealth.

Baseball = Field Cricket, except with the good rules thrown out and new rules from Rounders, a girlie game, thrown in.

Paul Collingwood - brilliant 200
A great start by England, but my only worry is that the run rate has been too slow. Another 50 runs and there would be an excellent chance of enforcing the follow-on. Despite the early wicket, I'm sure 'Punter' Ponting and others will dig in and make plenty of runs.
Seeing the negative tactics he used with Warnah, he may have been going for the draw since day two. If England can't win the match after winning the toss on a great batting pitch, it's hard to see where the needed victories will come from.

The Australians have finished the 3rd day at 5/311, about 240 runs behind. The best result for the Australians would appear to be a draw now, but if a few quick wickets fell tomorrow, then a loss by the Aussies is well and truly on the cards. The aging bowlers of the Aussies have not got wickets and therefore the selectors seriously need to look at strengthening the attack with young bowlers like Shaun Tate, very fast, but can also give runs away, but still likely to take more wickets, and more wickets is definitely what Australia needs
