Glad you're safe back home Tami.

The British are as usual causing all sorts of mayhem in the Euro 2016 in Paris. The organizers had to warn them and the Russians that they will be disqualified from the tournament and sent back home if they cause any trouble.

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.

I get it now: they keep playing until they have all passed out twice. Before reading that just now, I had no idea how easy it was to understand the game.

there is 3 formats of cricket

test cricket is the one that goes for days

1 day cricket goes for a day, not everyone has to go out. It is limited to 100 overs

t20 goes a few hours, limited to 20 overs each team. Stupid code is taking over, huge in india etc

Good lord, when I first read that I thought you said it is limited to 100 years.
ETA: What was the longest game of any kind? The longest major league baseball game was on May 8, 1984 between the Chicago White Sox and the Milwaukee Brewers. 8 hours, 6 minutes. Theoretically, a baseball game could last forever.

unsure, in cricket, if a team manages a winning score, they typically "declare victory" and the test ends, or if they are the first team in, the other team goes in to bat

In England, even the Olympic team has to go to France to practise, so anyone armed with a gun will have a rather strong advantage, until the tactical firearms units arrive. Because the population has none; only criminals and the police have them.

That doesn't end well and that's not a surprise given the stakes and the weaponry involved.

Here in Texas, it's a slightly different landscape - it's not the Wild West like my mother thinks, and i'd suggest that if you opened fire in a car park here, there's a likelihood someone would return fire.

Controlling guns is too late here, and i'm hoping that controlling vaping is too - because the Genie is out.
