Like cricket, it all makes perfect sense to me.

Pure jealousy on the part of the colonials, who have NO real history or traditions!
Oh, and NOBODY understands cricket, it is simply an excuse to spend an afternoon in a deckchair in the sun with a bottle of Pimms - then fall asleep........

There are plenty worse ways to spend a spring afternoon

[Bigron]

That wasn't a negative comment, Al; my only objection to cricket was from my schooldays, whe they made me PLAY it!
Regarding the game itself, being English, we invented it and then proceeded to lose to everyone else - it's only gentlemanly, you see...........

Anything else just isn't cricket

There is no such thing as an American, Ron. Just hybrids of every other race on earth. The Redskins (or Native Americans) are the only true indigenous race.

Yup 
If the daft gobby cow doesn't like it, she can always opps off the a republic somewhere 

As for cricket, even the missus understands the LBW rule 

Or so she tells me anyway 

[Bigron]

The LBW rule? That's an easy one; just stick a leg forward in the path of the ball if it looke like it's going to hit you in the well-beloved - in case you aren't wearing a box!
