No, it will be fine.

Thank you once more!

Oh Barry,

You must get your terminology correct, what the hell is a "Cricket Stick", do you mean cricket bat or cricket stump, so, just so that you can use the correct terms in future:

All the action, or non-action as the case may be, (similar to baseball where players come and go and nothing happens inbetween), is called the pitch or wicket area
At each end of the pitch are 3 stumps, upon which, 2 bails are placed, this is generally called the wicket.
The pitch is 22 yards long, ie, the distance between the 2 sets of stumps.
Now, to play the game, you need two teams of 11 players, one team is 'IN' and one team is 'OUT'. If your team is 'IN' then two players each armed with a cricket bat are placed at the wicket, one at each end, the other 9 players of the team are 'OUT' until such time as they are 'IN' and they get 'OUT'.
The team that is 'OUT' are spread around the playing area, normally called the cricket oval.
One player is given a nice shinny red ball, he is called the 'Bowler' and his job is to bowl the ball, using an overarm action at speeds of 140-150 klm per hour and try to knock the batsmans bails off, if this cannot be achieved, the bowler may bowl a bouncer, the object of which is to try and knock his head off instead.
The batsman job is to prevent the ball from hitting his wicket by placing his bat in front of the ball, if the ball misses the bat and hits his legs then he can be given out LBW, in which case he is no longer 'IN' but "OUT' and he comes in, if the ball misses the bat and hits the wicket, the batsman is also 'OUT' so he comes in and the next batman comes out and he is then 'IN'.
The batsmen also try to score runs,( the use of 'Home Run' is not used, because they are not at home). If he is lazy, he will try to hit a 4 or 6, a four is when the ball crosses the boundary touching the ground first and a six crosses the boundary without hitting the ground, otherwise to score runs they need to run to the other end of the wicket, (a lot of effort on a hot day).
I will not go into the finer points at this stage or explain the positions of siilly mid-off, silly mid-on, square leg, wicket keeper and the like.

I hope that you are now a lot wiser on the game of cricket and I am sure that there are many cricket fans on this forum who would be happy to provide you with more indepth information.

HOWSZAT- OUT or NOT OUT as the case may be

Now Barry,

What did I explain above, it is not a 'stick', it's a bat or a stump, if you desire to whack someone, it is preferable to use a bat, it is bigger, heavier and carries more clout.

Barry & Robert,

I might give some insight to the whole topic. If your children get into ALOT of trouble.... do you pop them in the butt with a "Stick" or a "Bat" ?


Take Care,
