You throw a ball at posts in the ground, and if you hit then you are a winner.
However there's a person with a bat in the way.
And if he hits it, he gets points for every time he manages to make a lap between his position and the position of the pitcher before the ball is returned and hit against the posts.
Pitcher is winner because it's like baseball- except it's one strike and you're out- if the ball hit the posts.

what no
you could possibly describe AFL or one of the rugbies as that but cricket's counterpart is baseball if anything and even then it's not apparent
@Chris: in it's purest form it is a game where someone pegs a hard ball at the speeds of a car on the freeway at someone standing in front of wickets (but only in the correct way with motion, no throwing), who has to hit the ball and then run between two wickets
they can't let the ball hit the wickets, but they can't block the wickets because that's not allowed and you'll go out
runs determine what your score is except when they don't like boundaries and if you hit a helmet
it is a very slow paced game, like seriously it is not unusual for nothing to happen for hours and a full match takes 5 days
once all of the batters are out the bowling team bats and the circle of life repeats itself
this being youtube recommended to me is what started it
ross messes up many things though (he thinks one hand one bounce is an actual rule for the most glaring)

A fun fact related to Cricket.
For those who cannot watch youtube.
Cricket goes back to the 1700s, I don't know when Baseball was invented.
But Cricket's old as shit.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?its gonna be sooo pretty.....
Disney world is one of the few things i get excited about any more. I Ts kind of sad really.
But for the tl;dr version, the place from the avatar movie is gonna be added onto the animal kingdom, along with a new nighttime light show, and hyeans in the Kilimanjaro safari area.
The pandora part looks soooo pretty... its gonna let the park be open later cause there will be things to do there later in the day, even after most of the animals have gone to sleep, and so its gonna light up at night, and the walkways will glow underfoot....
All our wishes can come truethey don't own it, i don't think, i think they just partnered with the guy who made it to make it
it does look really pretty tho doesn't it?
and its still animal and living in harmony with nature related, so it all works out
(now they just have to somehow get the rights to the marvel characters back from universal and all will be right in the world)
(by which i mean, universal won't allow disney to have marvel related attractions in WDW, everywhere else is fine though. But because universal studios orlando got the rights to use marvel characters in their theme park a long time ago..... its all just a huge clusterfluff)
(I just wanna meet Thor ,an is that so wrong....)
