Although intended to be comical and being very difficult to understand, this is an entirely correct explanation of 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 that's 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 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 have been 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.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

The only good thing about cricket is the bystanding half naked women.

Thats not written by a foreigner, thats written by someone trying to be funny using in and out too often and obviously has an extremely good grasp of both the English language and the sport of cricket.

Cricket is officially the worst sport to watch or play IMO.
Caber tossing FTW.

It says written TO a foreigner, not by. I'm not even foreign and I was lost after the first two words.

I didn't think the scousers were so bad that they were being classed as foreigners tbh. But on a good note, you'll be treated better than the British citizens due to this positive discrimination shite.
