What's that sound? Crickets?
Just in case anyone cares Canada is chasing England who ended 279 for 6 after their innings in the Cricket World Cup.
If Canada beat England then it will be a very sad day for English Cricket...
EDIT: Canada is now 110 for 4 after 26 overs. They have to have a good second half in order to catch England now. Still good on them for making a game of it.
For the non cricketer 110 is the number of runs, 4 is the number of batsmen who have been bowled out and in the world cup they play 50 overs. Each over consists of 6 leagal deliveries of the ball.
Oh yeah and there are 10 batsmen, so you are all out when your ninth batsman is bowled, as there must be a pair of batsmen up at the same time.
