This is a BBC report about Cricket (I think) and frankly, I know that supposedly it's hard to learn out of the blue, but seriously. What gives? That can't be real. There's just no chance. I read that thing like 5 times and NOTHING made any sense. So come clean and admit it, you made up a game that's incomprehensible to foreigners as a joke right?

So it was a surprise when Shahid Nazir's yorker from round the wicket trapped him lbw in front of off-stump, the ball going on to hit middle.

Whaaaaa-?

Don't say cricket is fake. I have one is my room right now. Darn thing won't stop chirping...

Anyway, after reading this, I seriously want to learn this game and talk about it to confound folks. besides, I simply love the terms they use.

It's doesn't sound that odd. All you have to remember is that you have to tackle the shortstop when the ball reaches the end of the alley.

I knew a guy named Asif.

The bowler sets off to the waller, and the waller moves to the tinny. The person on the tinny goes nowhere. Both teams has as many players as possible on the field, to give the illusion that they know what they're doing. One moniker rapes the other (not actual rape: they're British) and that moniker throws the javelout (Sort of like a javelin, but it stabs other javelouts, especially those in the closet). Then the waller throws a ham sandwich to the shuttlecocker, but if he doesn't give them to the catcher and the umpire, the game is called on account of rain. Then everyone does the above backwards on the second there's absolutely no signal that it should go backwards.

Wait, that was an article about sports? I thought it was an excerpt from a gay erotic novel or something.
