Didn't even know they are still playing basketball. There is absolutely nothing that makes it across the pond for basketball, baseball or hockey.

All I see or read is about the UK soccer cup and World Cricket Championship. in Football (the British version) Chelsea tied Liverpool yesterday, giving them a guarenteed spot in the Semi. I have seen parts of 3 Cricket mathes and I simply don't understand it.

Temporary. I am on a 3-month assignment in the UK. I am living in a flat (apartment) in the upscale town of Notting Hill (same place as the movie).

I understand the 2 bases. I am just fuzzy about how many times up at bat they get. Do they have outs? Is a Wicket and out? How many Wichets do they get? Last, how do they decide the number of sticks they put behind the plate (or whatever they call it)?

I can definitely say that a Cricket player is no where near the athlete or as capable as a Baseball player. The same is true of a Rugby player versus a US football player. Rugby players can't cut anywhere near as good aseven a decnt college runnign back.
