As in "during that session they were in a silly position near the stumpls and got struck by a bowler who pitched a sticky wicket."

5. Warwickshire had dismissed the Kalahari Batsmen for 140

and then it was their turn to face this extraordinary Kalahari attack. Pratt was the first to go, but Pratt and Pratt put on a second wicket stand of nought, which was broken by Odinga in his most hostile mood.

That's B. Pratt, hit wicket — 0. But Pratt and Z. Pratt dug in and took the score to a half before Z. Pratt ran away. But out came M.J.K. Pratt to play a real captain's innings. He'd taken his own score up to nought when he mistimed a shot of Bowanga and was LBW.

Typical of Umbonga's hostile opening spell was his dismissal of V.E. Pratt, who offered no resistance to this delivery and he was caught behind.

(Cut to native bowler bowling a machete. It hits the ground and does a leg spin up, slicing off the batsman's head as he waves his bat. The batsman's severed head lands in the wicket keeper's gloves. He throws it in the air with a flourish.)

But by lunch the situation had changed dramatically.

C.U. PRATT KILLED OUTRIGHT, BOWLED ODINGA — 0
P.B.T.R. PRATT LEGS OFF BEFORE WICKET, BOWLED ODINGA — 0
B.B.C.T.V. PRATT ASSEGAI UP JACKSEY, BOWLED UNBOKO — 0
Z. PRATT MACHETE BEFORE WICKET, 'BOWLED UMBONGA — 0
M.J.K. PRATT STUMP THROUGH HEAD, BOWLED UMBONGA — 0
V.E. PRATT RAN AWAY — 0
P.D.A. PRATT RETIRED HURT — 0
W.G. PRATT RETIRED VERY HURT — 0
PRATT DIED OF FRIGHT, BOWLED ODINGA — 0
Y.E.T.A.N.O.T.H.E.R. PRATT NOT OUT BUT DREADFULLY HURT — 139

9. It's very simple

You have two sides, one out in the field and 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.

11. I'd better cover that silly point

The third man has a fine leg - but it is quite a short leg. If he makes a slip, he might end up in a gully - then someone would have to bail him out.
