Not quite right but pretty good.
It's las easy to understand for me as baseball is for you.
LBW is the means of getting out by blocking the ball with part of the body, this stands for leg before wicket it means that the umpire must judge that the ball would have hit the wicket if the leg was not in the way. If other parts of the body are hit then either the trajectory of the ball would not hit the wicket or it was not a legal bowl, it's also possible for the ball to hit the leg and for the umpire to judge that the ball was thrown with a trajectory would not have hit the wicket so then the batsman is not out as well.
A batsman is not out after facing 6 balls, he stays in unless he is bowled out or runs out of co-batsman, the longest inning recorded in Test Match cricket is 970 minutes of batting or around 16 hrs. This would have been over at least 2 days and these does include meal breaks.
A Test match these days last 5 days, over formats are 20,40 or 50 Over matches were each team bowls a set of 6 balls (called an Over) a certain number of times these take a day at maximum.
There was once in the Victorian era a cricket match between South Africa (or was it Australia) and England before the 5 days rule was set that went on so long that it had to abandoned as the last ship home to England before the stormy season started was departing.

That will,be because of the bowling end and bowler changing once an over is completed, If we go back to calling them North and South, the bowler at the North bowls to the batsman at the South, but when the new bowler bowls from the South he bowls at whoever is at the North at the end of the previous over. Both batsmen are still in play. One skill that comes relevant in the later stages of the match is when you have a batsman who is considered the better batsman partnered with one who is weaker, typically these are though highly skilled bowlers. The trick is to take one run off the attacking bowlers delivery on the final ball to make sure the player who is at the "active" end finishes the over at the end that will become "active" at the start of the next. Presuming it's the better batsman that is. |

That both batsmen are still in play is important there are ways to get a batman whose is not at the strike end out.
Each batsman must remain within the "Popping crease" portion of the pitch when the ball is in play unless attempting to make a run if the non-strike blower leaves his crease early he can be stumped.

so this week, the good news is the other team almost never had possession of the ball for more than four downs at a time.
the bad news is even that many trips down the field didn't tire them out much.

The football team's season has been so mediocre that whether we make it to the playoffs will *literally* depend on if we win this Friday or not.

Given the general atmosphere of booze, fried food etc. at an average darts match it's difficult to pin in on just the players. |

My team Saracens just won the European Rugby Champions Cup against the Irosh team Leinster who have won it themselves 5 times.
At one point we were 10-0 down with a man in the sin bin for 10 minutes and only 19 minutes left in the half.
Then against hope we scored a penalty for 3 points and a try when time was in tne red and it was final play to tie the half 10-10.
Then the second half it was a case of our defense shouting out Leinster and us scoring again to win 20-10.
Just have to drive the 4hrs home now,

Here in the US, there is a digital-tier cable channel known as "Willow".
It is literally cricket 24/7/365. If it's not cricket matches (they actually budgeted just over 8 hours for a single championship match today), then it's news, highlights, and/or athlete profiles.
Oh, and somehow, even though it's part of a tier of "foreign" channels (re: channels containing content from throughout Asia), it's not a "premium" channel like any of the others and so we get it for free as part of our cable package.

I get about 400 channels in my cable package but Willow is not one of them. I can subscribe to it for extra cost, not that I would ever want to. |

The dutch, english and US teams are through to the semi-finals in woman's football(soccer for you).
Gonna be fun to watch, supporting the dutch team(of course), not just because of nationality alone, but it would be hilarious if the women would win the world cup before the men's team ever managed.
