Listening to Cricket. TSC

Very good in bw, I love the shadows! About cricket I know nothing and will never understand it;-)

time for a swim if its a test cricket only one day is worth any thing... but we have a dead end street full of kids who play cricket all day long great to watch. both great shots ..

It's easy to understand, Gudrun. Just follow these 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 are 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. ;-)

Haha, now I understand less than before;-) You probably have to be a native of a Commonweath country to get it;-)

The Aussies annihilated the English team in the test cricket, Steve, but England have done well in the one day matches - apparently. I don't watch or listen to the game at all, but I used to enjoy going to village cricket matches with my dad, and sitting on the grass having a picnic. ;-)

Now that is hilarious Amelia. lol

mir geht es ebenso ;-))

I don´t which one I like more Amelia ;)
I love it in b/w..and I like the sharp Details on the figure!

The PiP is of a rather horrible plastic trophy that I won in a Petanque match, Tanja. It's now back in the cupboard where it belongs.

LOL !! You make me smile with this tricky picture, Amelia !!!!!

Adrian was listening to the radio commentary, so I clattered about pretending to clear the breakfast dishes to make him lean closer to hear. He didn't know I had my camera to hand. ;-)

Trousers one size too big for the eyesight...LOL!

His butt looks better in jeans, Isabel. :-)))

Fine b/w, Amelia !

Many thanks, Ulrich. I suspect, like many of us, you don't understand cricket. ;-)

Very good light. What comes to cricket, that is almost completely unknown sports around here.

Just read the rules I posted for Gudrun and you're sure to understand the game, Sami. ;-)
I wonder if you play Petanque? There are a few clubs in Finland. We used to have 3 pistes behind our local pub, but the land has been sold off and is awaiting planning permission for building 2 homes.

Very clever of you to show both images - they work really well together!

Which butt do you prefer, Keith? ;-)

I couldn't possibly comment ;-))

lol

Good result!
I have to get the results from the internet. No BBC here in Spain - licencing issues! So, apart from real ale, what I miss most in Spain is Test Match Special!

The only reason I know the result is because I looked it up on the Internet, Andy. I'm not keen on sport, but I love listening to cricket when Henry Blofeld is the commentator. It's such a shame he has retired. I hate it when Geoffrey Boycott buts in though.

;-)))

nicely lit derriere . . .

I was hard listening to the Test matches in Australia Amelia!!
Much easier looking at your pic's here! Who decides on the subjects for your Sunday challenges?

It's usually up to the administrators of the group:
www.ipernity.com/group/305069
And it's to one of them that you can apply to join, Rosa.
But they have suggestions lists as well. If you got to the group tomorrow, you should be able to see what next Sunday's challenge is, and you'll have all week to think about it. n I won't be joining in next weekend. We'll be offline.

Member suggestions are always welcome as we rely on them for inspiration. :) As for who to ask about joining, that would be Shuttering Yukon (Wendi) :)

Looks like an old fashioned clothing
BUTT in mono .... ..I don't understand Cricket either. ..

He's not a trend setter as far as fashion goes, Marj. ;-)

This looks really good in bl/Wh.

Thank you. HC.

As long as you don't get arrested taking the shot, it's a good day.

I'm in handcuffs and sitting in a police station now, Esther. ;-)

Good shot with the b/w and the lighting works nicely. :) I have tried to understand cricket but to no avail. :( Amelia's definition was very funny. :)

Both images work well Amelia. As for Cricket never could follow what they were doing. :( Love your definition as to following the game. lol

I can claim no credit for the cricket rules, Chris. I got them from a website by Mel Carson, although I believe the original was by Lesley Crowther.

Lesley Crowther? Of Crackerjack fame? No idea he was good at this sort of thing, nor that he had such an intimate knowledge of cricket. He must have been a member of The Lords Taverners!

I'm far too old to have watched Crackerjack, Andy. ;-)

Close match. My husband loves the cricket. Great image for the challenge, Amelia.

The one day matches are inevitably close, Gillian, and a lo more interesting than listening to a test match.

Splendid pair!

Adrian will be very happy to read your compliment, William. :-)))

HAHAHA!!! Amelia, you made my evening! ;-b

Glad to cheer you up on a Sunday evening, Diane, That used to be the worst time of the week for me before I retired. ;-)

Oh my, I can certainly identify with that! Sundays, especially in the evening, were depressing.

You'r really into this. Two of them!!!

Nothing like a good butt to raise the spirits, Gary. ;-)

Great shot. Love your strategy.

I think I could make a good cricket captain with such a strategy' don't you, Jean? ;-)

What a wonderful thread for someone who loves his cricket but has had been cold turkey for many years!

tells a story - great image

ich mag beide Bilder sehr

Love this !

very nice b/w.
I only know the English expression "it is just is not cricket", so it seems an important sport :))
