Hey KG...I'm here to try and give you a bit of info on cricket. I'm going to to post a few links as we could be here all day!!! Forgive me if i've explained it a bit funnily but i'm trying to explain it in my head..

Ian has always said that Cricket was a sport the English invented to bore nations to death...

If you do visit the links-the place names are well known down under. The "Gabba"is the cricket ground in Brissie, The SCG is the cricket ground in Seeedney, the MCG is the most famous cricket ground (am I correct aussie ladies..?) in Melbourne and the WACA is the cricket ground in Perth.

Anywho-The Poms are the English cricket team. I'm sure the ladies in the UK will give me poos about calling the English Poms...It's a term we use out of love http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poms

The Ashes test series is between Australia & England.

The 5/602 means the Australians have made 602 runs over 5 wickets. (f you're unsure what wickets are-the round wooden things at each end of the pitch.) There are two batsman at either end. When the ball is bowled, the batsman obviously hits the ball or in some cases perhaps not & then runs to the other end changing places with their team mate. The number of times they run is the 602. The 5 wickets means a ball has struck one of the wickets & one of the batsman is out.

Did that make some sense?

Here are some links.
