How does Oz do at Chess. Don't recall that they ever had a champ or a great player. Still no female champ among the men. I wonder why?

I'm still partial to the National league. Took a long time to get use to the DH.

Lol.....

Yeah, the national league takes a little more strategy, more decision making for managers. I would like to see baseball eliminate the DH. Bring back situational baseball.

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players each on a field at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. Each team takes its turn to bat, attempting to score runs, while the other team fields. Each turn is known as an innings. The bowler delivers the ball to the batsman who attempts to hit the ball with his bat away from the fielders so he can run to the other end of the pitch and score a run. Each batsman continues batting until he is out.

The batting team continues batting until ten batsmen are out, or a specified number of overs of six balls have been bowled, at which point the teams switch roles and the fielding team comes in to bat. In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs per side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals.[1] Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed to be the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international match was held. ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members.[2] The game is most popular in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.

The Bowler has to run & throw the ball. Can you imagine if the did that in baseball. Every pitch would be a rocket.

Thank you flygal for being kind enough to post a very simple explanation. I would have to watch a game I guess to get the full benefit.

I was hoping that one of the gals jumping on me would be able to explain it in their own words. But I guess they would just rather rattle instead. 😉

In rounders, someone throws a ball at the batter. The batter hits it with their bat. The fielders go running after the ball, and when they get it, they throw it back to another fielder near the batter. The batter, meanwhile is trying to run around a circle of (I think) about 5 bases.

The fielder tries to get the batter out. If someone gets all the way round the bases in one try, it's a good thing. If they don't, then they keep trying to get to the end while another team member is batting.

Isn't that the same as baseball?

In Baseball. Someone throws the ball at the batter there's gonna be a fight.
