| In cricket... | In a buffet… |
| 1 | The team-split between batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders | The split is between grass-eating veggies and non-veggies who only eat something that walks, crawls, swims or flies on earth. The fence-sitters are the ones who hog on both well enough. |
| 2 | The Abdomen Guard | Your guard is a paper towel – used around the same area to ensure that you are not mistaken for having an awry bathroom break |
| 3 | Taking stance to observe the field | Doing a quick survey of what food is present in the buffet so you can plan accordingly |
| 4 | The cautious opening to not lose your wicket | Ensuring you don’t eat only the starters and fill your stomach |
| 5 | Running the quick singles but saving energy with boundaries | Taking quick trips to take any good item twice but stocking up on two big plates so you don’t have to leave your seat often |
| 6 | Placing in the gaps for maximum benefit | Ensuring the correct distribution of food in the stomach so it can take in more |
| 7 | The bonus free hit | The complimentary mock-tail that is thrown in sometimes |
| 8 | The slog overs before the innings-end | The dessert round where you go for the kill because the buffet is going to end |
| 9 | The commentators. And the general public | The been-there-done-that folks who have already visited the restaurant passing expert comments on the food! And those ala-carte folks who are sitting around you passing comments on your eating capacity. |
| 10 | The umpire who finally gives you out | The waiter who gives you the bad news in the form of the bill |
Any more similarities, please ensure you update them in the comments section...
