An outdoor game played with bats, a ball, and wickets by two teams of 11 players each. Very popular in England and what's left of its so called 'empire'.
The game is played by men of
questionable sexuality wearing v-neck sweaters making jokes about sticky wickets. Most cricket players fantasize about being spanked by the 'bat' which is not a real bat at all, but better known in tight cricket circles as a bum paddle.
The game
originated in England over 500 years ago. It is played with a ball very similar to a real baseball, which is what gives the players the
impression that they're playing a real sport.
There are one, and sometimes two 'innings' in game. Given the sensitive nature of the players involved, more innings would be too taxing.
