I think the part I always get lost in is the parts about how the plays actually happen. The wicket the batman the gatekeeper ? etc.

Its probably not that hard if I ever watched it. But just reading about it never got me very far.

Reading about it without having watched it isn't enlightening. I took my sister to a Test match 2 years ago - she had always avoided going but it was my 50th birthday so she indulged me.

She came away totally enthralled!

Village cricket under English willows is equally as good.

If ever you get a chance go with someone who understand the game and can answer any questions.

It's a great game.

kind regards...
