Reminds me of an old cricket joke about a batsman going in and then he's in until he's out, or something like that. Must be baffling to a lot of people. I've yet to work out the difference between leg and off side.

I think the funniest thing about that clip is the commentary; that inane bumbling, rambling mumble which is strangely relaxing and very British. Reminds me of Dan Maskel who used to do the commentary at Wimbledon.

Never really cared for or understood cricket.

That is lolworthy LOL
Cricket is about the only sport I really watch. Great game actually. Get two great teams together and the margin for error on either side is so small. 

And tests are the best form of the game.  
New album!

Pythonesque, absolutely hilarious (though I have no idea why)

Hey I know this video, it's from a Dutch series called Jiskefet.
Totally brilliant sketch this.

Crickets are small black versions of grasshoppers.
