Try, just try, explaining some philistine :

- that one side can only win by a margin of N runs, while the other can 
only win by a margin of X wickets ;
- that you may score many more runs than the opposite side, yet draw the 
match ;
- the D/L method ;
- how extras are counted.

And I don't even speak about records where you divide runs by innings, but 
not all of them.

The first law of teaching, according to my methodology teacher, is : you'll 
always underestimate the difficulty of something you know well.


Best regards
