Alot of the fancy-pants 'arts' - classical music, poetry, Shakespeare, operas, etc.

My wife is very good at Jeopardy, she legitimately needs to try out because she'd have a real shot. Compared with her, there are very few categories I beat her at other than sports and technology. I SUCK at general trivia.

Cricket

All I know is they wear white, and there's throwing & hitting ... OK, so I know three things, maybe, so it's not ABSOLUTELY nothing

Is the thrower trying to knock the sticks down? Or is that bad? Is there any running after hitting?

Here is everything you need to know about the rules of cricket:

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man 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 men still in and not out.

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

Can you go a bit more in depth about the ins and outs of the game?

Actually. Pretty much everything

This. I think I know a little bit about a broad range of subjects, but, I know a lot about very little.

One of the reasons I enjoy the LR so much is there seems to be an expert on most subjects here. I enjoy seeing someone ask an obscure or specific question and reading a detailed, thoughtful response.

Apparently my former career, which I am attempting to re-enter, based on the job interview I had today.

Aside from that - superhero movie characters. And that Harry Potter shit.

I know a little about a lot. Things I know nothing about are generally things I'm completely uninterested in. This would include:

professional sports
how computers work
abstract art

Well you got the throwing bit wrong for starters. You have to bowl the ball with a straight arm. If you break your elbow and throw it, it's a "no ball."

18th century French poetry, ok any French poetry. Other than that I am good. And maybe opera, though I know about the most famous works I can't stand listening to it.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

The fact that you listed these three subjects in one 'category' does demonstrate your knowledge of the physical sciences.

Hahaha!!
