=A0=A0=A0 Cricket is a sport, played throughout the civilised world.
Currently there is a test match series going on between New Zealand

Adelaide. A cricket test match lasts for five days and there are no

<underline>seems</underline> to last for five days.

=A0=A0=A0 I will leave an explanation of the rules and terminology to
somebody else. At stumps yesterday (end of day three), the Austrlians
were 0 for 57 in their second innings. Play on day four is due tio get
