#3 McNails, my personal opinion is just make sure you do emigrate (preferrably to Perth).

#6 Anyone could explain the rules of that d... cricket? I am still recoverinbg from the shock after seeing England leads India 150 to 0 but she is losing. And what are those things named wickets?

At least baseball looks logic to me.

#8 to put it simply ....

You have 2 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 both sides have been in and out,
including the not outs, that's the end of the game.
