Or Is It A Couch

While Cricket is a mysterious game of tests and ashes and galactic destruction and random sofas named after my current town of residence, I do have to admire these ground rules.

The ground opened in 1847, built around the lime tree. When it was hit by a ball, the batting side scored four runs.

At least they settled it right away. Many days as a kid saw more time arguing ground rules rather than playing whatever game was supposed to be going on.

You always get four runs for hitting it that far, tho, so it's actually a penalty.

If you hit it hard enough to hit the tree, but missed it, you'd get six runs. That sucks.
