why ckricket?... because cricket is one of the greatest game known to man

and ye over here in the UK we do get a bit passionate about it

well if your just after instructions on how to play....

bowler press TAB to bowl ... batter looks at where he wants to hit ball and press TAB at the appriate time (takes some practice) fielders just run under the ball to catch it ... thas all

There's three games that the english really love: Footy, cricket and rugby.

They love cricket cos it's nice to fall asleep to in the afternoon, and the amazing stupid names for the different fielding positions. Here's a list:

-Deep Fine Leg
-Fine Leg
-Third Man
-Third Slip
-Second Slip
-First Slip
-Leg Slip
-Gully
-Leg Gully
-Wicketkeeper
-Point
-Silly Point
-Square Short Leg
-Short Leg
-Forward Short Leg
-Square Leg
-Deep Square Leg
-Cover
-Extra Cover
-Silly Mid Off
-Silly Mid On
-Short Mid Wicket
-Mid Wicket
-Deep Mid Wicket
-Mid Off
-Mid On
-Long Off
-Long On

Phew. Then there's the fact that the batter can have either no inclination to bat at all and just dodge all the non-lethal ones, and when he does he just has to loft the ball over the bowler and watch it roll for four.

Rugby and cricket are the opposite and have no silly rules, so I'm gonna cut this short and just say it's a good excuse for a fight before/during/after/with or between the players.

BTW: Note that list of cricket fielding positions, we might be able to replicate em in UltraKricket.
