Yeah but they'll be playing England so they will no doubt up their game and get a cricket score against us.
Did you see what I did there?

Now explain LBW(leg before wicket), and how it doesn't have to actually hit your leg for an LBW to be called..
You got me there!
I don't follow enough cricket to know that one.
I thought it had to hit your leg pad to be LBW.
The reason for the law is to stop players looking like they are playing the ball when in fact they are just shoving their leg in the way to stop the ball hitting the wicket.
The umpire has to take all sorts of stuff into account where the ball pitches, over the wicket bowlers (left and right hand to left or right hand batsmen).
There's also 'bat onto pad' where if it hits the bat before the pad, it's not LBW.

or that if the ball hits your glove while holding the bat, the glove is actually considered part of the bat under those circumstances.
Yep, that's correct.
