Soren, in test cricket, the team batting second can be asked to follow-on if their score is 200 runs short of the first team's score. So if team A scores 329 runs, team B must score more than 329 - 200 = 129 runs. If they don't team A can ask them bat a second time. If team B reaches 129 or more runs then team A will bat next and then team B to conclude the match. Sometimes a team batting first will pile on the runs, say 620 for example. If team B is out for 150 runs team A might force them to bat again and if they are out for say 300 runs, they lose by an innings and whatever the difference is between their aggregate and team A's first innings score of 620. I copied this from another website and it describes cricket rather well: 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 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 been 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.

That's pretty good only the author forgot to mention that everybody comes in for tea, even if they haven't got out yet or haven't even been in, except for lunch which can sometimes be delayed :( because of bad weather. If, with all the tooing and froing, there's isn't actually time to play enough cricket to get a result then bad lighting is always to blame and the 3rd umpire must be consulted. He is never out and often not even allowed in at all but rather sits in an air-conditioned truck watching TV. If all else is about to fail then a Duckworth Lewis calculation is use to decide how many runs are equal to how many wickets so that everyone can be sure of who won regardless of the actual score at stumps. Have no fear it's a game for Yorkshiremen and no one else is supposed to understand it.

Oh yes and also of course that Cricket itself was created with Test Driven Development and so never finished as the authors were long dead before the last test was ever completed. :)

The ockers are taking a hammering in the 2nd test at Lords. As things stand they might have to bear the shame of being asked to follow-on if England request it. That alone will send Michael Martin into a state of despair which only a crate of suds will placate. :) First the Lions rugby tour and now this. There is much wailing in Earls Court.

Y'all must be old and senile. Before the tour started I told everyone we were shite and going to lose. We're not a team, but a group of individuals.

Michael, the difference this time round is that Oz are worse than anyone thought they could be. I need to think that they could still make a series out of it. Unfortunately, not even rain will save them unless they improve dramatically. The worse thing England can do is put the score beyond reach but at the expense of giving Oz enought time to bat it out for a draw. Right now, the cold beers favour England. Come on ockers! At least make a bloody game of it. :-D
