We in the U.S. and Canada are familiar with some broad aspects of popular or everyday North American culture on this side of the Atlantic — brand-name products, magazines, music, movies, and TV... hugely responsible. I know for me, a brief visit to the UK some years ago along with watching British movies & TV shows, prompt a question every now and then about how it is (or how it's done) in Britain. I wonder if others feel they would find some value in a thread where we can post a question now and then?

The Rules of Cricket
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each player that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next player goes in until he's out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in, goes out, and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get players still in and not out.

When a player goes out to go in, the players who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next player in goes out and goes in.
There are two officials, called umpires, who stay out all the time and they decide when the players who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the players have got out, and both sides have been out twice after all the players have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

How do Brits (and Australians too) feel about the senator who screamed at King Charles that he wasn't her king?

Lydia Thorpe is a disgrace to her office. That was not her first publicity seeking stunt.
She opposed the Voice to Parliament referendum and is out of synch with Indigenous elders.

Charles is probably not too fazed by her possum skin performance.

Who Is Lidia Thorpe, Australian Senator Who Heckled King Charles In Parliament
 
I don't agree with heckling the king but I do support a lot of what Lydia stands for.

However none of the issues she is concerned about are the kings fault and he has no power to change them - so I think wrong platform for her to air them on.
