Oh, another thing Kathryn- you'd better familiarise yourself with the sport of cricket, which is taken very seriously in Yorkshire!
Yikes! Do I HAVE TO??????
Apparently I'll have to start using "s's" instead of "z's" in a lot of words as well - that is, if I write them. Which is unlikely. But I will THINK of them as spelled that way in my mind when I'm there!

Dead easy!
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.
When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Lol no don't worry about it. Just be yourself, they'll love it. If someone gives you crap about the way we spell, just remember to tell them you speak and write modern Shakespearean English (which is true to an extent)
