Lazy Sunday Afternoon


Mahmood bowls to Babar at the start of the Pakistan innings in the second T20 at Headingley today.

If you are a cricket fan, you'll know what's going on. If not, here is the tea-towel version:

Cricket:  As explained to a foreigner ...

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each person that's in the side that's in goes out, and when they are out they come in and the next person goes in until they are out. When they are all out, the side that is out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get people still in and not out. When someone goes out to go in, the people who are out try to get them out, and when they are out they go in and the next person in goes out and goes in. There are two people called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the people who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the players have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the people have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
