Cricket on the greens, Markham Park

About as traditionally British as you can get. This sampling of the "King of Sports," was offered at the Jamaica Festival, Miami, November 2008.
While each sport has it's arcane language and cabalistic routines, cricket to most first time spectators seems overly endowed with these.
Why is a fielder called a "Silly Mid-on"? Oh to be banished to the "Leg-gully!"
Can you imagine being one of six or more "Slips" helping the baffled Wicket-Keeper.
Somehow I'd rather be a "Third Man" with a "Fine Leg."
