Alright....Aussie/Brit baseball. I was wondering when you blokes would get some real sports going over there.

yes it's called cricket. It's sort of like a men's version of baseball.

Here is a photo of the "Ashes", this is the trophy currently up for grabs.

The photo shows an English player kissing the trophy goodbye because he won't be holding it again for a very long while.

I haven't seen baseball in a long time but it wouldn't surprise me if the players now wear skirts and (I assume) no knickers.

Can you get sent off for ball tampering in baseball?

Anyway the Aussies are off to a good start:

Australia 68/0 (14.6 ov) England	Australia won the toss and elected to bat first Day 1 - Session 1	Australia RR 4.53 Last 10 ovs 37/0 RR 3.70 Min overs remaining 75.0
Full scorecard

Can anyone explain this game to me?

Can anyone explain this game to me?

Here's a simple explanation:

Cricket - As explained to a foreigner
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are 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 a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
