I've heard the term, but the game seems sort of odd. Sort of baseball, without running the bases?
But it does have a sense of some other time.
It is like baseball. It is odd because it isn't played here so it isn't easy to understand, but I think it is a lot more violent than baseball. When I worked in London, we had teams at work and it was quite popular. But, I have never once seen anyone play it here in the states.
Americans are always intrigued by Cricket. The matches last forever.
Rounders is closer to baseball; it's extremely similar to softball with an overhand pitch, but the batting is different and they don't use baseball mitts to catch. I believe that the player gets to run to the base even if he does not hit the ball.
It's extremely popular in other countries. I believe the English invented it. India, Pakistan and other countries adore it. The players dress up in all white and look veddy, veddy proper and British.
It involves an overhand pitch from a player and the opposing player hits it and runs to where the pitcher is. It's quite confusing if you are not familiar with it but it is really great fun to watch because it really is so proper.
The term "sticky wicket" comes from cricket. It means a harrowing experience and refers to the pitch area.

I can see why it would be so important to Sir Robert.
I do remember a reference to the game when an overstuff couch mysteriously appeared on the green with several lost in time travelers and their towels and the Hitchikers Guide, with much constrination since it disrupted the game. Poor Arthur, always in the way.
