200 yards
The cricketer was proud of his progress as a batsman and invited his mother-in-law along to watch him play, hoping to impress her. At the crease, he turned to the wicket-keeper and said 'I'm anxious to do well and really hit this ball. That's my wife's mother over there.' Don't be silly,' said the wicket-keeper. 'You'll never hit her at two hundred yards.

Aliens and Cricket
Two aliens were visiting Earth to research the local customs. They split up so that they could learn more in the time allowed. When they met to share their knowledge, the first alien told of a religious ceremony it had seen. "I went to a large green field shaped like a meteorite crater. Around the edges, several thousand worshippers gathered. Then two priests walk to the centre of the field to a rectangular area and hammer six spears into the ground, three at each end. Then eleven more priests walk out, clad in white robes. Then two high priests wielding clubs walk to the centre and one of the other priests starts throwing a red orb at the ones with the clubs." "Gee," replied the other alien, "what happens next?" "Then it begins to rain."

The Two Sides
There are two sides, one out in the field the other 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.

Umpires vs Cricketers

Umpire and Bowler

The bowler (a very very slow one) bowled the first ball of the over without any spin whatsoever and the batsman stood directly in the line of the wicket and was hit on the shin pad. When the bowler appealed for lbw, the umpire decided in the batsman's favor. The bowler said nothing until he completed the over, when the following exchange took place:
Bowler: Was the batsman in front of the wicket?
Umpire: Yes, he was.
Bowler: Did the ball hit him in the pads?
Umpire: Yes, it did.

Bowler: Would the ball have hit the wicket?
Umpire: Yes, it surely would.
Bowler: Then why didn't you give him out?
Umpire: THAT BALL WOULDN'T HAVE KNOCKED THE BAILS OFF!
