Strange goings on chez Oscar at the moment. Normally the humans stumble off to bed somewhere around midnight allowing me to have MY lounge to myself to do as I please in. But it's already gone one in the morning and they are sat around watching something called cricket on the television.
Now I've just been listening to the male human trying to explain to the female human how it all works. Want a summary? OK here goes ...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Simple enough ...!!
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in, and the next man goes in until he's out.
Following me so far?
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in, and the side that's been in goes
out ...
Got that? Yup sounded like total gibberish to me too.
Sounds like another game for someone in an anorak to play if you ask me.
I've been watching some of it on the television, whilst trying to push one of the humans off the sofa. Seems to be guys in pyjamas with one throwing the ball at a guy with a large lump of wood who then smacks the ball out of the ground. Then the crowd start shouting and banging a drum ... repeat as required. Apparently the crowd are called the Barmy Army. Must be pretty barmy to go all the way to New Zealand to watch cricket when they could sit at home and watch it on the television.
Strange things humans ...
