Cricket

Sitter och tittar på Bangladeshs andra match i cricket-VM. Irland står för motståndet och just nu är utgången oviss. Om det innebär att det är spännande? Absolut inte! Även om det säkert finns miljontals Bangladeshier som inte håller med mig. Just nu kretsar väldigt mycket i Bangladesh kring cricket och företagen gör, som synes, allt vad de kan för att göra pengar på evenemanget.

För alla som inte riktigt förstått hur cricket går till kommer här en förklaring, som engelsmännen brukar förklara det för utomstående.

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 have been 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!
