It can take the patience of Job to explain to a beginner (depending on the beginner...) but well worth staying with it. Children pick it up very quickly. Next Test match starts next Thursday.

(Ok, the game is called Quidditch -- thanks Wikipedia.) I noticed you're spelling like the English now ("favourite" vs. "favorite") -- when in Rome! :-) I’m sorry, but your description of cricket made me think of the game they play in the Harry Potter books (which I don’t keep up with so I don’t even remember the name of the game); all I remember is something about a Golden Snitch.

I've actually become a huge cricket fan over the years, although I tend to cheer for the Aussies because it was an Aussie who patiently sat watching matches with me and explaining it. I also got a cute little book called "Cricket Explained" that was both funny and informative! It’s totally learnable, and really enjoyable.
