Tourists and cricket

Overheard while walking past a cricket game and some tourists this morning: "Ah I've been wondering about zis - dey are all wearing white, so how do you know who is on which team?"

Fascinating! To people more accustomed to overtly adversarial sports, those pitched battles between teams striving openly for domination, cricket must seem very strange, sedate, and English.
