Can anyone explain
what cricket is to an ignorant american? All I know is that there are a buch uf guys dresssed in white hitting a ball, getting hundreds of runs, and that the games can go on for days.

If only there was something
you could use to get information on a given subject.

Maybe I'll use google to see if such a thing exists.

You answered your own question
Except the hundreds of run bit, which is not England at the moment. Why should a sport or game require a big explaination? no-one says to Usein Bolt, "oi Bolt, what is all that running very fast about?"

Excuse me?
England scored 332 and Australia are currently 133-8. So that, in cricketing terms, is a huge thrashing.

Apologies
I hadn't heard the score, and assumed England were taking a kicking.

Erm... Yay England (We really will take a thrashing, I just know it)
