jeriendhalFrom a BBC news report on the sport of Cricket:
"The biggest surprise of the Ashes so far has been the consistent failure of Australia's top seven batsmen to produce big scores.
They have only managed one century between them in four games, but there is perhaps some light at the end of the tunnel with the news that Simon Jones is injured and out of the vital Oval decider.
Until now, everything has gone smoothly for England.
The pacemen have bowled short, sharp and often destructive spells. Spinner Ashley Giles has bowled with attacking fields and often with the pressure already on the Aussies."
At least with baseball we just run around in circles instead of trying to confuse everybody.

(A baseball post by Scott Haring)
Now I know baseball well enough to watch the odd game now and again (I watch the odd bit of MLB, but when the Olympics are on I watch it more avidly) and I mostly understand what's going on. I've even played a little in high school. But I have no idea what some of that post of Scott's was about, and a cricket fan with substantially less familiarity with baseball (say, your average Indian fan) would be unlikely to follow more than a couple of words of it.
