Its an annual event in my family and the match is usually littered with the same usual suspects. Theres my uncle who has never been out ever (Well in his eyes) and we generally have to hold him down and wrestle the bat off him even when he is clean bowled. My cousin who bowls like 30 ball overs and will always say 3 to go after a mountain of bowling. But my favourite is my other cousin who has a new excuse for not leaving the crease every time he gets out. Last year he wouldn't walk and said he was put off by a lower flying bird that crapped on the pitch as the ball was bowled. All that mixed with plenty of liquid cheers and its a great day. These are the official ICC backyard cricket rules but no one follows them at this match.
