Bat, Ball and Cucumber Sandwiches

Nothing beats a long slow sunny afternoon, deckchair at the ready cucumber sandwiches and cup of tea at the ready for a leisurely meander watching the local of cricket team play their skills.

Cricket, a traditional English game comprising two sides of eleven players, similar to the house buying and selling game which is headed by our local state agent David Jordan Estate Agents.
There are two main varieties of cricket, regular cricket and one day cricket as with house buyers you have your cash buyers and your buyers who fund their purchase with a mortgage.
The length of the match can be variable depending on the importance of the match, the important matches usually being longer. The longest matches are international ones and these are called test matches and last five days. 
Each day playing time can be eight to ten hours. The first side has their innings and scores as many runs as they can before all the batsmen are bowled or caught out. The next team then has their first innings.  Like buying and selling property it can be a lengthy process made up of many twist and turns before achieving the winning run.
Under and Over’s
As with the many stages of house buying and selling a cricket innings is divided into over’s. One over comprises of the bowler delivering six balls from the same side of the pitch and the next over a different bowler delivers six balls from the other side of the pitch.
If the batsman hits a fly ball and it is caught he is out just like being gazumped, one minute you are in and the next you are out.
Home Run and the Winning Run!
So in summary cricket is played by two sides of eleven players.
House buying and selling needs two sides one to sell and one to buy unlike cricket you may end up with many innings if things don’t go to plan and buyers pull out or mortgage offers are not forthcoming.
Each side bats or fields twice, known as an innings.
The bowler delivers balls to the batsmen made up of over’s where six balls makes an over.
The batsman attempts to score runs by hitting the ball in any direction and /or defend his wicket. If he hits the balls far enough he may get a boundary.
Like cricket curved balls can come from any direction in the world of house buying and selling that may mean a review of options.
When each team has played two innings the game is over and the team with the most wickets wins.
Unlike the house buying and selling process where there is an eventual winner for both the buyer and the seller.
