I have no friggin clue what’s going on. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the field, and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket that's all i got for you.

I once had a very nice Uber driver from Pakistan try to explain it to me on a 30 minute ride. I left more confused than before 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no friggin clue what’s going on. I used to know how to play, but I forgot years ago. Something like, running back and forth on the tiny base path thing as many times as they can while the ball is in play. Not sure about the rest, but it seems fun to play.

swede700 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I watched people play it at a park in Topeka once...I had no idea what the hell was going on, but it was still interesting to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice...my wife's family has a history of doing that with some houses that they've had...my in-laws live in the house his parents had but had a house previously that they sold to my mother-in-laws sister and her family. We're working on paying down our debt (although we certainly just added to it...LOL!), in hopes that we can buy another piece of property, preferably up in MN off or near Superior, to spend some time in every year. I've never cared for Kansas, so I'd like to get away. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a full tear off and replacement and added gutter guards on a single gable chicago bungalow for ~6K. I'm not sure what the full gutter replacement would have been, but we also have french drains so it probably would have been a little more costly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
