I nearly died when I saw this [Cricket Game.](http://www.bossmonster.com/e4/cricket/cricket.html) I find Cricket funny enough as it is, but this is too much. [sub](Requires Flash.)[/sub]

I don’t get it at all.

Is there some inside joke here? Is there a cricket team called the chipmonks? Was there some recent groundhog incident in the world of cricket? Is there a standard cricket technique called gophering?

Someone explain please.

**Bill H.** , I am just guessing, but I think there is nothing to get. It is just wierd, bizarre humor. At the beginning you are expecting a normal-ish game of cricket, and all of a sudden the pitch is overrun by killer badgers. Whats not funny about that?

Not just overrun by Bagers, you can actually splat them with the Cricket bat, or at least you can if it’s the same as one I have seen before (No time to ckheck out the link, sorry)

Whack-a-mole is more visceral than Cricket.
