Title: Cricket, I think

Does this make sense to anyone?
QuoteLEEDS, England (AFP) - England inflicted West Indies' worst Test defeat of all time, breaking a 50-year-old record, as they won the second Test by an innings and 283 runs to go 1-0 up in the four-match series with more than a day to spare at Headingley here Monday.

West Indies, 137 for six at tea on the fourth day, lasted just 25 balls after the resumption, losing their last three wickets on 141 after being made to follow-on.

This loss surpassed their innings and 237-run reverse against England at The Oval in 1957.

Stephen Harmison wrapped up the innings when he bowled Jerome Taylor for nought after Dwayne Bravo, who top-scored with 52, had holed out against left-arm spinner Monty Panesar.

It's an old code from the Korean War to throw off enemy transmission interception.

I don't know what to say, so I will insert this picture of how I felt while I read it:

Add your own blinking sound effects.

Alwynn's joke is so incomprehensible itself it needed an explanation only slightly longer than the joke.

Maybe he is secretly a Brit as well?

It's a dumbfounded stare! When it is on Spaceghost Coast to Coast there's an awesome buh-link sound.

And he's a locust / Mantis. The game is cricket. They're all bugs. I think in the same family, too. But I'm not a ... zoologist or whatever.

i actually am a bugologist.  and in my professional opinion, the cricket is nothing like the mantis.
