It'd be nice if they could play as well as they can swear and slag each other off.

Hi Baz and VD 
After 15 years of listening to 5live, I'm still learning the rules, but I just hate their posturing. They've been carp for ages. Just play and stop b----ing about each other already. 
Let me help you out about cricket. 
- You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
- Each man thatâs in the side thatâs in goes out, and when heâs out he comes in, and the next man goes in until heâs out.
- When they are all out, the side thatâs out comes in, and the side thatâs 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 all 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 the not outs, thatâs the end of the game.
Could it be any simpler!

Cheers Xochs ... Clear as mud now
Edit to say ... This reminds me of the sketch where Dave Allen explains how to tell the time to a child!
We perked up a bit once Mr Peiterson was given the elbow, we seem to be in a rebuild modeat the mo though.
