Trying to teach my latest girlfriend how cricket works, not having much luck but at least she is tolerant. Good thing is that she is wanting to build a model or two, probably a Samba Bus to start off with.

It can be extremely difficult explaining to anyone who hasn't been involved with cricket from an early age how it works. Most of us who get "into" it will have played it at school and started to pick up the basics, if not the nuances, of the laws then. I've found in the past that getting a girl friend to come to a local Sunday club game, where there tends to be plenty of cakes and white wine available helps
Mind you, you do have keep a sense of humour if they have missed your entire innings, or in my case overs, whilst sleeping, walking the dog or chatting with other "cricket widows"
Great she wants to have a crack at a model
