Hat-trick
None for 3 in the first. Too bad the advantage was squandered. But truly a first class match. Three cheers to the Pathan.

Hat Trick

He's talking about the English game of cricket.
An Indian bowler Irfan Pathan took a hatrick against Pakistan - something like 3 successive batsmen out in baseball ( eq. of 9 successive strikes), except that you need just 1 strike in cricket to dismiss a batsman (or 3 strikes in all).
It's the 36th time something has happened like that in cricket. The only thing that's interesting about this one is that the opposition (Pakistan) hadnt scored at all before the batsmen were dismissed (I think that's a first).
I don't mean that (although I in fact don't get cricket, and equally don't get baseball). I mean the MOVE IT bit.
That's what happens when you get a partial clone of muppet.
Some people from across the water get a little stressed at threads which mention the game.
I suspect it's because if they ask qustions we attempt to explain the rules which can take on a "Mornington Crescent" quality due to the jargon level...

....a nice example of this is just the other day. I was once watching this lizard thing at a zoo. it didn't move. apparently it sometimes doesn't move for years. I watched it for nearly 2 hours. it didn't move.
it compares favourably with cricket.

What are your thoughts on American Football?
Granted it doesn't last quite as long as even a local cricket match but it is similarly episodic.
