I'm seriously thinking about studying the rules for cricket. It could easily surpass my enjoyment for the soccer World Cup due to it being a bat and ball sport. I think it's really neat that there's a sport where the Middle East and India dominate. Thanks British imperialism.
And by the way, keep pumping up cricket. I've seen several posts from you about it, and it seems that you have the same passion for the sport that I have for stock car racing.

Excuse my ignorance, but don't cricket matches go on for multiple days sometimes?
Maybe I'm think of something else.

Thanks. Yes, it is not that hard to understand the game, if you know a few basic rules. There is a lot of similarities with baseball.
Remember these simple rules and you will be fine:
1) In cricket you don't have to run if you hit the ball if you think you can't complete the run safely.
2) In cricket you have to use a minimum of 5 bowlers (pitchers) in every game and each bowler gets to bowl (pitch) 6 balls at a time and then he switches with the next person.
3) In cricket a ball hit into the crowd (home run) results in 6 runs. If the ball rolls to the boundary (rope/advertising hoarding) along the ground, it results in 4 runs.
4) There are a lot of runs scored in cricket because every hit that results in a batsman reaching the other base (only two bases in cricket) results in a run. So if you compare it to baseball, it is like a batter scoring 1 run for reaching the 1st base, 2 runs for reaching the 2nd base and so on. Also in cricket the batsman keeps playing until he gets out. Doesn't matter how many runs he hits or how many times he rounds the two bases.

Damn this thread pumped me up for some cricket. I hope we can make a WSOD thread as well.

You are right...but that is just one format of the game liked by purists where the game goes on for 5 days. The World Cup matches are an 8 hour affair. Read the "ODI" section from this post. The World Cup matches will be played in this format.

You will watch a game for 8 hours?

How does a batter final get out?
When all 3 wickets get knocked down?
And when do they swap batting with the other team?
I know once they swap the other team has to get as many runs as the first team or they lose.

That, and the only other thing is that if you compare it to baseball, Team A does their 9 innings, then Team B does 9 innings.

How does a batter final get out?
A batter can get out in a few different ways:
- He gets the wickets behind him knocked out (this is called getting 'bowled')...its closest baseball equivalent is a strike-out - Cricket out 'Bowled' video
- He can get run out if he doesn't make the other end before the fielder knocks the wicket down. The fielder can try to knock the wickets down himself or he can throw the ball to somebody that is closer to the wicket and have him break the stumps (similar to throwing the ball to one of the basemen). - Cricket Run-out video 1, Cricket Run-out video 2
- He can hit a fly-ball to one of the fieders and get out. - Cricket outfield catches video
- He can 'nick' or 'edge' the ball and if the wicket keeper (catcher) behind him catches it, he is out. No 3 strikes in cricket. - Cricket wicket keeper catches video
- He can get out 'Leg before wicket (LBW)'. This is a complicated rule and hardest to understand. Just think of it like this: If the umpire thinks the ball was on its way to hit the wickets (stumps), and the ball hits the batter's leg instead of the bat, he is out. - Cricket LBW out video
- The batter can also get stumped. This is when the batter comes out of his batting crease (mound) to get better leverage to hit a slow bowler (somebody that only blows curve balls/change ups) and misses the ball and the catcher behind him breaks the stumps before the batter can get back. - Cricket out 'stumped' video
quote:
And when do they swap batting with the other team?
In the One-day (8 hour format), the first team bats for 300 balls (300 pitches) or until all their 10 batsmen get out. The other team then gets 300 balls to chase the score down. If they run out of pitches or lose 10 batsmen during the chase and they are still behind on the runs, they obviously lose. Each team only get one inning to bat.
Here is the scorecard from the 2011 World Cup final between India and Sri Lanka, which India won. Sri Lanka batted first and scored 274 runs in 300 balls (pitches) while losing 6 batters. Batting second, India scored 277 runs in 290 balls losing 4 batsmen (in other words "losing 4 wickets"...weird, I know) -

It depends. I am on the West Coast. So it helps a little. Most matches start around 7-8 pm in the evening. Usually it is more fun to watch the 2nd inning (the second team trying to chase down the score set by the first team).

Yes! Thanks for that.

South Africa ftw, the thing I like about cricket compared to baseball is you can't puss out and walk a guy intentionally. The same stud player can literally bat for hours before you get him out.

Espn wants a 100 bucks to stream this? Terrible.

Actually Willow TV did not win the rights to stream the World Cup. ESPN won in the bid in 2011, I believe and they have the telecast rights in the US. There is a free streaming site on the web that streams all cricket matches live. Just do a google search for "crictime".
