See translation in red above. There are many similarities between the sports but the overall structure of a game/match is different. In baseball, there are 9 innings with each team getting 3 outs in an inning. In cricket, there are typically only 2 (1 per team) or 4 (2 per team) innings with an inning being 10 outs for one team. Edit: Graham...let me know if I got anything wrong. It's been a while since I've watched any cricket. Excellent description. 1 day limited over cricket is exciting. 4 day county ( League) cricket is the bread and butter cricket. 5 day test matches are competed by countries primarily. England. Australia. New Zealand. Pakistan. India. This is the county (state) league format. Edited July 27, 2022 by grapau27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted July 27, 2022 #66054 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Last night, we were in Niles, Ohio for some hibachi. Stopped in at their mall, and found a sand sculpture in the center. Not sure why, because it is not near a beach. It has been a while since I have been in any mall , but was surprised that most stores closed at 7 pm. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where as you would never see Captain Lee do the menial jobs on the boat that Jason does, they are both different and I like that. I'd take Jason over grumpy old Lee any day. Lee always says he has the best job in the world but he seems like he is miserable all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It falls in a good spot between our November Voyager cruise and the Bella cruise. We’ve also never been to Aruba or Curaçao. Plus January’s a good time to escape the northeast. Both islands are very much worth visiting. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I had read a while ago, that a Mall had been closing at 7pm due to not enough salespeople?? It seems to make sense, since stores, restaurants, etc. are so short of help.😕 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sign made me think of @Sea Dog Nice! I really like it around the Bowen's Wharf area. And that mojito looks really good! Just that parking can be such a pain in downtown Newport this time of year. If I were in Providence I would consider taking the ferry. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done the trip from Westminster Pier to Hampton a couple of times and it was wonderful. Thank you for sharing your photos I've done the river in the other direction to Greenwich but not to Hampton. I'd like to do that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be lack of help, and maybe just more shopping online. Several stores have moved out of there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted July 27, 2022 #66068 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Today, we took the grandkids to Living Treasures Animal Park, near New Castle, PA. It looked like they were the first ones to the goats to feed them, because they sure were hungry. A couple decided they wanted to go for a camel ride. Too bad we couldn’t convince the third one to climb on. For any bat lovers, they had those. They enjoyed their up close, personal time feeding birds Another nice outing. Can’t believe that in three weeks, our CA grandson will be home and starting school. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have two within half an hour of our house every time we went out but I did enjoy the canal/riverside pubs for a rest. It made the work worthwhile.

The Mussels were absolutely "to die for". On one of our anniversaries, we woke up and decided to take the 2 1/2 hour drive there just for them. We also brought home the Clam Chowder. It was really good also. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted July 27, 2022 #66075 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We had a visitor yesterday. I took this pick and loved it. I told Kenzie it's so good I will have to share it on Dani's thread. She looked at Shashey and said, he's kidding right? She said nope then she gave me the look. Then she said, post it and I will hide your flip flop. I said, that, that's not mine. Kenzie, several love seeing you. They will love the pic. She said, OK Gpa but it will cost ya a peanut butter cracker.. 32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
