But we'd then be talking about a bloody cricket match. Tea time. Cheers, Mate.

Doesn't that have something to do with a wicket? Tally-ho!

Two and you might check the runner to see how many of you he sees.

Most of the fields I work, for this sit. to happen, it's 30 ft or so to the first baseline fence. Unless it glances off the top and skims over the fence, I'm thinking OUCH!!

I'm going to do my best troll impression here -

But if the runner was diving back to first you award bases in the direction he was running, so he gets first and home

You need practice: nobody's going to bite on awarding R1 home.
