One sunny afternoon at the park, a guy named Steve decided to play fetch with his golden retriever, Max. Steve threw the ball as far as he could, and Max took off like a furry rocket. But in a hilarious twist of fate, just as Max was about to grab the ball, another dog, a pug named Rufus, zoomed in and snatched it right out of the air. The two dogs stood there, staring at each other, as if contemplating the meaning of life—a game of fetch turned into an unexpected face-off over a rubber sphere.
Watching a 70-pound golden retriever come to a screeching halt, utterly baffled while a tiny pug paraded around proudly with what should have been his prize was comedy gold. The sight of Max’s confused expression and the smug little waddle of Rufus quickly turned into an audience favorite. It felt as if Max was asking, “Seriously? Did that just happen?” And in that moment, everyone at the park was reminded that sometimes, size really doesn’t matter when it comes to stealing the spotlight—or, in this case, the ball!

There’s nothing in the rules saying a dog CAN’T play cricket…
C
If you told me this was the way cricket is played I would believe you.
P
You have to know what a crumpet is to understand cricket!
D
A Jose Canseco bat! Tell me you didn’t pay money for this.

K
Check it out man, anything you guys want, we got. Anything you wanna do, do it. Know what I’m sayin? Anything.
P
Still blows my mind that was Sam Rockwell!
K
You just blew my mind. I had to look it up. Holy shit!
H
Got any cigarettes?
A
Regular or menthol?
P
It’s a very niche instrument that falls between a cornet and a trumpet. /s
F
Crumpets aren’t international? Oh you poor people!
O
Oh, they are. Its just that there are some insular spots like North Korea and other backwards places that have never heard of them.

At it’s simplest it’s baseball or rounders with only two bases but as one of the true great sports of modern civilization there’s a few things about cricket to help understand it’s greatness 1. There’s a field position called silly mid on 2. The game can last 5 days and still be a draw 3. The umpire can hold the players clothes for them while they play 4. Players often admit the are out and walk off even if the umpires haven’t noticed On the ground of those alone it’s the greatest sport ever invented apart from football
S
The bowler can bowl wicket to wicket, bounce the ball off the wicket, hit the wickets, and get a wicket.
F
I literally don’t know if any of this is real or not.
N
All of it in this thread is 100% real, and only scratches the surface.
U
Tell him what “The Ashes” means. Tell the whole story. Then tell him how big the greatest trophy in the sport is.
S
Tbf, they did make a proper trophy for it out of crystal but, no one really cares about that trophy. We all just want the wooden one.
B
It’s really hot box with a bat. Hot box has many names, but it’s just a kids game where 2 throw a ball back and forth. A runner can score by running to the other thrower’s base. So you wait until one of them drops the ball or misses a throw then run back & forth. In cricket there are two ‘bases’ and you run back and forth between them after a hit until the fielders can return the ball. (or the dog I guess) There is no no foul ball area. The whole field is open for play. The wickets are how you get strikes. The bowler (pitcher) is trying to knock them down basically.
B
This general explanation I understand. I’d never played or attended a cricket game when I read a recap of a game in a paper while in England in 1990 and I got NOTHING out of it. Every sentence was complete gibberish. I was shocked I couldn’t at least get a gist of what had happened. The terminology was not making any sense to me and I played all the American sports. Also what you’re calling “hot box” we called “Pickle” while growing up. Same thing though.
F
You lost me at rounders…
F
You missed the most popular position… Left right out.
G
That’s the position I played in football!
P
You can also have a situation like the bowler’s Holding the batman’s Willy
J
Someone should make a version that involves a dog
O
If you told me this was the way cricket is played I would watch more cricket.

MULTIBALL! MULTIBALL!

Coming this Fall to VHS: Air Bud 19: Golden Bowler
Q

O
Is that an Air Bud reference?

Listening to ABC (Australia) radio one summer 20-30 years ago. During the lunch break they were discussing the rules of backyard cricket. It was ruled that the dog is on both teams.
I
Dogs are always part of the fielding team, though it would be funny to see one with the bat.
K
Exactly! All the dogs play it in Bluey.
S
That episode always makes me cry. It’s my absolute favorite
C
This is basically the plot of Gus, the classic movie about a donkey who becomes a kicker for an American football team
W
In pretty sure the rule book says no crickets allowed though.
G
Air bud is back! Ready to take on his biggest challenge yet… cricket! Can he bring the underdogs to the championships?
N
Dang right that dog can move put hom in the outfield.
L
Don’t tell the Creator of air bud that….
C
there ‘s nothing in the rules saying a dog can ‘t play cricket.
P
Cricket Bud!
B
12 on the field, illegal. More seriously, the ball is likely damaged and they should replace it with one from the ‘aged ball box’ (used for lost balls)
E
He would be good in the field but batting would be difficult. Imagine trying to find pads and gloves that would fit and then getting them on the dog.
M
*Air bud: Wicket Keeper*
S
😜
L
The helmeted blue team person knew the secret. Don’t chase, try to play.
T
It’s probably the sister of the brother with the dog tbh
