Date: November 20th, 2025 10:24 AM Author: aromatic jet-lagged partner liquid oxygen It's more complex than baseball, but it's in the same basic universe as baseball. The main difference is that in cricket you keep batting until you are out, you don't have to swing at the ball if you don't want to, and you don't have to run if you do hit the ball, so the same two batters (you bat in pairs) can be out there batting for hours on end, not just for one at-bat. Once you get that, the rest of the logic comes into view pretty quickly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5800207&forum_id=2:#49446100) |

Even if it hits the wickets? |

Date: November 21st, 2025 9:56 AM Author: aromatic jet-lagged partner liquid oxygen you can play defensively if you want to or need to, like a bunt with a dead bat to stop it hitting the wicket, and then not run if it is high or wide of the wicket and it is not coming at you in a way that you can make an aggressive scoring shot, you can just let it go |

Date: November 20th, 2025 4:23 PM Author: appetizing ape most sports arent that hard to figure out. i've never seen lacrosse played but i imagine it's like soccer or hockey or or water polo or backetball where players go back and forth trying to get a ball into the other team's goal.
football is a little bit more complicated than those sports but it's the same idea.
baseball is complicated as fuck and i get how women and foreigners dont have a clue.
cricket i imagine is on the same level as baseball. |
