Cricket speech

Hey I need to do a cricket speech tomorrow for school, just general cricket, and I'm stuggling, lol. I need ideas on what to say, the class doesn't know a lot about cricket but I don't want to dumb the speech down too much nor go into too much detail. Thanks for any ideas :D
 
Re: Cricket speech

Just explain the rules:

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's 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 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 those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

:laugh:
 
Re: Cricket speech

No, but it is a very, very, very..... .... .... old piece. I would love to be able to tell you who oringinally wrote it but alas.

I had the pleasure of coaching some German students a couple of years ago and [strangely] they loved the explanation!

I used to get confronted by that explanation at work almost everyday. They had it on every single tea towel in the place and on the wall in the workshop and the shop.
