oh tell me about it !!! i'm reading the mike and psmith stories by PG Wodehouse right now, and he keeps going on about the cricket games, and it's just like gibberish !!! rattling on about a "century" here and "wickets" there and posts and batting and runs and who knows what else... mystifying is the LEAST you can say. i'm hoping cricket is a little less important in the next books (i'm still in the first one of this series). i love wodehouse but i had to give up on "the oldest member" series because even he can't make golf interesting, and i fear the same may be true of cricket. although at least this book isn't principally about that.
