2: In a local match, the umpire was being jeered and heckled unmercifully from the crowd. At length he walked over to the boundary and sat down next to his chief critic. “What are you doing?” asked the spectator. “Well,” said the umpire,”it seems you get the best view from here.”
3: The captain of a team says to the Umpire,
“My players want to know if there is a penalty for thinking.”
The Umpire says, “No.”
The captain says, “Well we think you’re a dropkick, then.”
4: The Devils challenged the Angels to a game of cricket.
“But we’ve got all the cricketers,” said the Angels.
“Yes. But we’ve got all the umpires!” exclaimed The Devils.
5: During the match, the fieldsman positioned just behind the umpire kept trying to distract the batsman as the ball was bowled to him.
Several appeals for l.b.w were turned down, and finally the umpire turned to the fieldsman and said sternly: “I’ve been watching you for the last twenty minutes.”
“I thought so,” came the reply, “I could tell you weren’t watching the game!”
6: It was the after-lunch session, and the next batsman in hadn’t left the bar. When it was his turn to bat he confessed to the captain that he could see three of everything.
‘Well,’ said the captain, ‘when you get out to the wicket just hit the middle ball’
The batsman made his way to the middle and was bowled first ball.
‘What happened?’ asked the captain. ‘Did you play the wrong ball?’
‘No, the wrong bowler!’
7: The bowlers were getting a lot of stick from the opposing opening pair. The captain decided a new player should have a bowl. He handed the ball to the young man with the advice, ‘Keep the ball well up.’
‘Don’t worry,’ was the chirpy reply. ‘I know his weakness.’
He bowled four balls and everyone cleared the boundary.
‘I see what you mean,’ said the captain. ‘He’s got a weakness for sixes.’

Really, my point is that it is a touch insulting to one’s head of state to ridicule the issuing of honours for sporting achievements.

Cricket told me to Complete the last step and program my phone but now it does not work!!! and I cannot dial out and I’m stuck and frustrated. It just says Your cricket phone cannot be programed and to look at a user manual or read the website….
I went to Cricket locally and they said they couldn’t program the phone, so I called the PORTing number and they said to call your local Cricket to program the phone number manually. Well they didn’t know what to do so they referred me to the people that Flashed my Centro.
I called them and then they told me to press ##000000# and change the Phone number and the MSDI numbers, and then it worked!

The BCCI (Indian Cricket Board) is worse off. The BCCI president Sharad Pawar is busy defending his position & finding scapegoats. He is a crooked politician & has no shame in rubbishing the rumours of his resignation following the miserable performance of the paper-tigers. After all he had fought hard at rigging the BCCI elections to become the president of BCCI which has, of late, turned into a money-minting machine. Despite all the big money coming into cricket, the BCCI’s annual expenditure on Booze & partying is more than that on the development of Cricket in the country & the performance is for all to see. Shame, shame, shame…..

from rounders came baseball, so essentially Bat is a Cricket Term and will always be a Cricket Term.
but still not sure why other cricketing terms are still used in baseball.
