The Ashes

You gotta know what a crumpet is...Honestly, I do have no idea about Cricket, but from what someone said earlier in the thread not getting the jargon makes sense. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to explain the rules and the language of baseball to individuals who did not understand it well. If I were to say someone after a play who had not watched baseball, "Wow, that was a sweet 6-4-2" they would have very little idea that I was discussing the fact that the ball was caught by the shortstop, thrown to the second basemen for out number one, then thrown to the first baseman for the second out, or better known as a 6-4-2 double play. However, with someone who knows baseball and its lingo, I would not have to explain the double play part, they would already understand it.Plus, there are the signals being given from the management staff at all times, trying to decode those is tough even for someone who watches it a lot. These guys are talking simply through pre-planned hand gestures and tapping. Try to figure that out without the understanding of the game. Lol. On that note, is there something similar in Cricket to the hand signals used in baseball to tell a batter whether to bunt, swing, aim for a walk, crowd the plate, or any other option required at the time?*Could not get the video to load in message, you will have to follow the link for the awesomeness contained therein.*

You are correct, and I feel slightly dumb for making that mistake. I knew something looked wrong in it and kept looking trying to figure it out, but I think my mind was far too much on the work I was supposed to be doing. Lol. My fault, I intended to say 6-4-3...correction made!
