I always find the following does the trick: 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. |

Haha Neil - even if the Aussies had only played with 2, I doubt England would have beaten them! |

The problem with the last series Josef,was England didn`t really need the umpires,the bowlers couldn`t get the Aussies out and the and the batsmen got themselves out  Thom |

True I'm afraid. England cricketers need to wake up and understand they are supposed to be athletes and train accordingly. Cricket just doesn't seem to be in their blood. I've been to the West Indies, India and Sri Lanka and they live and breathe it. |
