Say what?

This morning’s Sydney Morning Herald online has a story about switching from analog television broadcasts to digital. While a weak analog signal may have snow and ghosting,

[u]pgrading to digital television eliminates such problems but the trade-off is that a poor signal or local interference can cause the picture to freeze up completely. One moment the bowler is approaching the crease and the next the wicketkeeper is throwing his arms in the air, leaving you scratching your head as to what happened in between. About now, you will start pining for analog television again.

(Italics mine.) Bowler? Crease? Wicketkeeper? Why don’t they just switch over to baseball, whose terminology we all understand? Like “flied out,” “grand slam,” and “unassisted triple play”? The last in this list has happened only twice in major league play, in case you’re keeping score. But then you knew that.
