Going to see the Ashes this week. First time, never been before and never really watched the game either.
My father in law loves it and wants me to get into it too.
I need a crash course in Cricket?? I need to look like I know what I am talking about
Tell me all you know . .

The first rule of live cricket, is you must have a pint every 3 overs, otherwise they throw you out, if you do manage to complete, they carry you out.

You can't like it,You must love it.
You must force yourself to hate australians and get angry at every single one of them,just because they talk funny.

Whatever you do, don't watch the game on Sky Sports. It'll only confuse you, they know even less about the game than you do!

The only way to get a batsmen out is, that the ball has to hit the ground once, before it's caught.
Also, sometimes the umpire can shout ''super over'', in which two balls are used during that over.

don't pretend like you know the rules when you don't, it's irritating.
good advice about the drinks...but make sure your father-in-law pays, other wise you'd be spending £120 on beer alone!
Don't carry a gun or a bomb into the security check points, they won't let you in.
take an umbrella - especially to cardiff

Always worth remebering the 'once bounce, one hand' rule of catching. |

You could also Pringle some beer in.Always a popular thing to do and almost always works.The genius of it is a testimony to the human mind.

There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And fate has just
Handed it to me - whoopee
