He didn´t. The referee´s X means he´s burned. Three burns for team ends their turn in.

Well, that´s the end of lecture.
What did we learn?
If some crazy northern country can play this to amuse themself, it is easy to understand that some other amuse themself with crickets.

LOL! Carlos, that cracked me up! Really, this has turned into a sports thread.

By the way, what is that sport called in English (or Finnish even) so people could Google it if they want more info? You’d probably make your national sport popular, you never know. ;-)

Wow, it is great. Thanks for your lecture, Carlos. I still have a question. In my eyes, it has no difference with baseball. What are the differences, rules for playing or anything else?

Sharp eye, Jimmy, there really is not so much difference from baseball.
I don´t know baseball rules, but I imagine they are quite same.
It is developed from baseball.

She´s, yes, maybe this thread will end to social relationships among Zulus in Kongo, lol. Only shows flexibility of this forum and people here.

Finnish name is pesäpallo pesä = base, pallo = ball
Maybe hard for You all too google it, because we have those dotts over a.

Well, cricket and cock fighting are sports to some extent so that we are still on the track. Just kidding. For me, I just want to know more about other countries, culture, sports etc.
