What's cricket?

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. 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. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men are out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

Hope that helps - it's not mine and I claim no ownership of any copyright - saw it on the web and thought it might help.

Wow watching this is dull, when will it end, some people actually pay to watch this stuff, still I'm planning on going to Aussie next summer and it will all be worth while if I get there cheaper.

Shame they're not going to Perth though...

Are they definitely just to Melb and Sydney? I need Perth as well...

There is an online travel company offering flights from the UK to Oz for about £500 on Qantas/BA from Sept to March or so. But they need to be bought from a company over there. So a good deal, but not as good as this cricket related one.
