India were all out for 54 in October 2000, their lowest ever total in One Day Internationals against Sri Lanka.  \n \n England's John Jameson, who was born in India, made his highest Test score( 82 ) against India.  \n \n                                                                                                                                         \n     \n \n Only four test series have ended 0-0 with all five matches being drawn. India was involved in three of them, including two in a row against Pakistan.  \n \n\n \nPaul Strang is the only Zimbabwean batsmen to score 100 runs and take 5 wickets in an inings of a test match \n \n \n     \n \n No less than five batsmen were run out during the New Zealand innings v Sri Lanka at Sharjah in March 1988- only eight wickets fell in all.   \n \nSteve Waugh made 87 consecutive ODI appearances for Australia, and was then dropped, only to be replaced by his twin brother Mark Waugh.   \n \n\n \n      \n \n Mike gatting had his nose broken by a ball from Malcolm Marshall while batting v West Indies at Kingston in 1986. The ball unfortunately dropped from his nose on to the wicket.   \n \n\n \nThere were no less than six ducks- plus one not out batsman, in the Pakistani innings v West Indies, at Cape Town in 1993.  \n \n\n \n     \n \n Two spectators were killed and several injured when a stand collapsed during the India v England game at Nagpur in January 1985.   \n \n \n25, 000 spectators turned up to watch England play its first ODI match at Chandigarh. Unfortunately a violent thunderstorm flooded the ground. In order to placate the crowd a 15 overs game was staged in unplayable conditions.  \n \n\n \n        \n \n Mark Waugh was run out 4 times in five innings in One day International matches in 1992.  \n \n\n Desmond Haynes and Gordon Greenidge completed 15 century partnerships in ODI matches for West Indies.

Good point, geezer, Look at the workload shifted on Freddie and the boys for England this year - Sri Lanka and Pakistan for 7 tests and 12-odd one-dayers in the summer, Champions Trophy in India in October, Ashes Series down under November to January and then the bleedin' World Cup in the Caribbean in March/April. I love watching the game and feel now this is one of the most exciting periods in the game for many years, but you've got to ask questions.

Cricket is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is a bat-and-ball game played on a roughly elliptical grass field, in the centre of which is a hard, flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called the pitch.\n\nAt each end of the pitch stand a set of wooden poles called wickets (traditionally made from the wood of the ash tree). A player from one team (the bowler) propels a hard, fist-sized ball from one wicket towards the other. A player from the opposing team (the batsman) attempts to defend the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat, traditionally made of willow. Another batsman (the non-striker) stands in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket.\n\nIf the batsman hits the ball with his bat, he may run to the other wicket, exchanging places with the non-striker. This scores a run. The batting team attempts to score as many runs as it can, while members of the bowling team gather the ball and return it to either wicket. If the ball strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out. Batsmen can also be out by other means, such as failing to defend the bowled ball from hitting the wicket, or hitting a catch to a fielder.\n\nOnce out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team. As there must always be two batsmen on the field, if and when the tenth batsman is out, the team's turn to bat or innings (always with a terminal "s" in cricket usage) is over, and the other team may bat while the first team takes the field. Depending on the specific rules of the match, one or two innings may be played, possibly with a fixed number of legally-bowled balls defining the end of an innings rather than ten batsmen having been dismissed. At the end of the match, the winner is the team that has scored the most runs. However, the game may run out of time before it is finished, in which case it is a draw, even if one team is overwhelmingly winning at that point. This is sometimes surprising to those not familiar with the game, but it does add interest to one-sided games by giving the inferior team the incentive to try and achieve a draw even if they cannot win.\n\n    Cricket Portal \nCricket has been an established team sport for several centuries. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the countries of the Commonwealth. In some countries in South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular sport. Cricket is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies. It is also a prominent minor sport in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Israel, Nepal, and Argentina (see also: International Cricket Council).\n\nThe length of the game — a match can last six or more hours a day for up to five days in one form of the game — the numerous intervals for lunch and tea, and the rich terminology are notable aspects which can often confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment and outstanding sporting achievements. It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, the most infamous being the Bodyline series played between England and Australia.

Here are two really good pages to explain it for an American. The second is good and uses baseball as a comparison, so you can compare it to something you know.\nhttp://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ABOUT_CRICKET/EXPLANATION/CRICKET_EXPLAINED_AMERICAN.html\n\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~sccwa/crick.html

The game of cricket has a known history spanning from the 16th century to the present day, with international matches played since 1844, although the official history of international Test cricket began in 1877. During this time, the game developed from its origins in England into a game which is now played professionally in most of the Commonwealth of Nations.\n\nNo one knows when or where cricket began but there is a body of evidence, much of it circumstantial, that strongly suggests the game was devised during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weald, an area of dense woodlands and clearings in south-east England that lies across Kent and Sussex. It is generally believed that cricket survived as a children's game for many centuries before it was increasingly taken up by adults around the beginning of the 17th century.
