cricketing question

[gricerboy]

It has been brought to my attention that it would be socially expedient for me to partake in the game of cricket.

I therefore would like to pose some questions regarding the rules and regulations thereof.

When a cricket player makes a catch, he is often seen to launch the ball high into the air in an act of flamboyant celebration. I have noticed this occurring before the umpire has raised his finger so if the player were to drop the ball, could the umpire declare the batsman not out?

Why is there sometimes a helmet on the ground behind the wickie?

What is a "leggy"? I know the term refers to leg spinner but does this mean they aim at the batsmans legs or does it refer to an action performed with the legs during the act of bowling?

It's quite important for me to understand the rules of the game otherwise the people with whom I wish to ingratiate myself will think I am some kind of misfit.

Finally, what fielding position would be best for me given that I am such a butterfingers?

Cricket doesn't have rules and regulations - it has laws.

In the slips - named specifically because it doesn't matter so much if the balls slips between your fingers.

Listen, away and **** off you really are a thick **** if you think anyone for a minute believes any of the tulipe that comes out of your mouth.

Sad deluded individual that thinks it's amusing to create some fictional character and can't even carry it off convincingly.

You just encourage him to clutter the board with his tulip, which then encourages more people to start rolling out the sockies as well.

I'm incredulous that I've found someone who finds them amusing though. I might do a poll.
