"...stroke players?"
"...rise to the occasion?"
"...dead rubber?"

Just *zipping in* to say that I do NOT understand one word of this article - and furthermore, I do not care!

"...having seen a Mark Butcher-inspired England hit 315 to win in a dead rubber at Leeds four years ago."
Funny, the same thing happened to me, and resulted in my fourth child.

"One is the nature of a pitch which began with pace and early help for spin but - after nearly 24 hours under cover over the weekend - appears to be exhibiting neither of those two characteristics."

As one of the few people here in Australia who doesn't love cricket, I can tell you that it refers to a sport that makes watching paint dry seem interesting. A cricket match lasts for up to 5 days, and can still end in a draw!
