OK, answer these;
You two Brits can bat this one around. As far as I am concerned, crickets are just what we feed the anoles, geckoes, and tree frogs (although the geckoes prefer mealworms).

I’ve lived outside the US all my life! In Amsterdam, to be precise. But guess what Zico: I’m moving my girlfriend to London next week and I will be joining her in a year or so.
I’m sure we’ll get the chance to share a few warm beers and watch your silly kricket game

Hey Zico - I am in London too - but don’t ask me to explain cricket, I am not sure any of the english know anymore.
Coldfire - will be glad to welcome you to the English shores - looking forward to calling in that cold beer.

Android - to answer your questions…
Not out - the umpire will call dead ball.
Absolutely no idea whatsoever. There is nothing in the rules about it. I would presume a dead ball is called and the ball replaced with one of a similar condition. Correct me if I’m wrong. Are they playing nine holes or eighteen ?

android,
Not out. It’s a dead ball if it lodges in any part of the batsman’s or the umpire’s dress, or if it lodges in a fielder’s helmet (and if he’s not wearing the helmet, it’s 5 runs as well). If it lodges in any other part of the fielder’s clothing, it’s a catch.
No idea.
The answer is dead ball in both cases.
Oh, and Zico, there are loads of Canadians here which, IIRC, is not part of the US ;).
Android - I used to live in Vancouver, a city which went to great lengths not to be part of the US, and would happily move back there if I could do the same job for more money and Arsenal Football Club would move there too.

Perhaps you had better explain it to the England cricket team - they seem to have difficulty remembering since Ian Botham retired.
On second thoughts, they will soon learn again when the next Ashes series comes around…

I live in northern Michigan. Do I live outside of the U.S.? In terms of being on the cutting edge (or even the dull edge) of anything remotely cool, I’d have to say “yes.”

I live in New York City, which most Americans would agree is not the U.S.
Any Kansans want me explain stickball, egg creams, or how to change in Brooklyn to the West Side IRT?

I live in Denmark - but if I can get my student loans in order I’ll be moving back to California late this summer.

Milossarian, how can you say that? Isn’t your town responsible for, like, 99% of the manhole covers in North America?

Yep, and I am one of the rare few able-bodied males who grew up here and never worked a day there at the old Iron Works.
