The Rules Of Cricket
Contributed by Gordon Curley on Nov 27, 2010 (message contributor)
THE RULES OF CRICKET
* 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 all 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 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!
