A try - five points are awarded for touching the ball down in your opponent's goal area. A conversion - two points are added for a successful kick through the goalposts after a try. A goal kick - three points are awarded for a penalty kick or drop goal through the posts.
If the ball goes over the crossbar, a point is scored and a white flag is raised by an umpire. A point is scored by either kicking the ball over the crossbar, or fisting it over, in which case the hand must be closed while striking the ball. If the ball goes below the crossbar, a goal, worth three points, is scored, and a green flag is raised by an umpire. A goal is scored by kicking the ball into the net, not by fist passing the ball into it. However, a player can strike the ball into the net with a closed fist if the ball was played to him by another player or came in contact with the post/crossbar/ground prior to connection. The goal is guarded by a goalkeeper. Scores are recorded in the format Goal Total-Point Total. To determine the score-line goals must be converted to points and added to the other points. For example, in a match with a final score of Team A 0–21 Team B 4–8, Team A is the winner with 21 points, as Team B scored only 20 points (4 times 3, plus 8).
This is that other game....um.....Soccer.
Now, moving quickly on to the rules of Cricket..... :D
No, not that! I'll talk, I'll talk!!!
This from the people who gave us 5,280 feet per mile, 12 inches to the foot, and 3 feet to the yard, and furlongs, fortnights, and rods and fathoms.
Makes Fahrenheit degrees seem almost sensible.
The crickets we have here obey no rules...
