Cricket is basically a simple sport

You’re having me on, right? Calling it a “simple sport” then following it immediately with an infographic like this?

“Silly Mid On”? “Deep Fine Leg”? YOU’RE MAKING THIS UP, I KNOW IT!

Right. So I got a ticket to the Boxing Day Test. Apparently it’s multiple choice: England or Australia. I think I’ll go with Australia. I hope I get it right. Anyway, I wouldn’t be going except for the fact that it’s a corporate box, and the booze is flowing. I reckon I should probably learn a bit about this alleged sport, so that I can at least nod at the right places when someone rabbits on about a duck. Google to the rescue. Apparently, those nutty funsters at the “For Dummies” series of books have a “Cricket for Dummies”! And it has a cheat sheet.

For those just as confused as I am (and I haven’t even read the whole thing yet) the rest of it is here: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/cricket-for-dummies-cheat-sheet.html
