OK, OK, I'm willing to have an open mind. But will somebody tell me just what the game is all about? I haven't the faintest idea how it works. I understand there are some similarities between cricket and baseball, but beyond that I'm in the dark. I think I remember reading an article about it in an encyclopedia when I was in junior high school, but when they got to the part about a "silly mid-on", I gave up. Am I remembering that right? Is there a "silly mid-on"?

Aloha,
