How the Dutch think Cricket looks to Americans....

[Roger]

Thanks to my old friend Tom Constantine at The Old Hangar for this. I'm English and I don't understand Cricket but this is a Pythonesque take on Cricket by a Dutch team for the Americans. The only realistic Cricket stuff is the players apparel...the rest is nonsense, but sounds more than a little bit like a Cricket commentary :costum:

As a long time cricket fan that is simply hilarious!

Pretty close to the mark I thought, old chap!

Bit too much whistle blowing, mind.

Seems the Dutch have replaced Umpires with Referees:santahat:

When I was a schoolboy in Scotland, we didn't play cricket, we played the bagpipes instead - so much more practical, you know.

when i was a kid, they told me bagpipes were a scottish weapon designed to annoy the enemy into submission.

Pretty much....yes(the cricket I mean).

I like the pipes....

This is soooo funny. It kind of reminds me of the humor from Monty Python.

The guys who made this are very well known (in my opinion brilliant) comedians in the Netherlands (for the Dutch who didn't recognise them, Jiskefet.).

Cheers,
