With England and Australia going head to head in the Ashes, we decided to see how much our American cousins knew about all things cricket.
What are these people doing?
Ben: Waving to the fans.
Alex: Calling a wicket??
Spencer: Playing cricket!
Lauren: Pledging their allegiance to Kate Middleton?
Conz: Getting ready for a group high five.
Correct answer: They are appealing to the umpire as they think the batsman should be out.

What does "LBW" stand for?
Whitney: Long Brilliant Win
Ben: Last Best Wicket?
Alex: Leg Before Wicket I think??
Lauren: Little Bloody Wanker (these are British words I know).
Correct answer: Leg Before Wicket. This is when the ball is prevented from hitting the stumps by hitting the leg of the batsman.

This dude in the hat is an umpire. What does this hand gesture signify?
Conz: "You were ~this~ close to scoring."
Whitney: A goal?
Alex: "Please, rain gods, let it rain so I can go home we've been here for four days already."
Lauren: Out of bounds, maybe? Way more concerned about the stuff on his lips.
Correct answer: A six. (i.e. the batsman hit the ball over the boundary without it bouncing – this is worth six runs.)

How about this one?
Ben: First down.
Leo: Pee break.
Alex: One run?
Lauren: Ten points to Gryffindor!!
Daniela: He'd like ONE cup of tea.
Correct answer: The bastman is out.
