Cool post, spira, thank you. "Spit balls'? I assume they're talking about the bowler being allowed to polish the ball. I think I need to come over and find me a game - according to the article there's 650 adult players every weekend. Surely there's room for an ageing medium pacer and specialist Number 11 batsman?
medium pacer and specialist Number 11 batsman? I don't know what any of that means, but this was a cool article, and I'd be interested to see how this progresses. I'd also like to learn how cricket works someday. (I looked up the rules once, but without being able to see it in action, I was at a bit of a loss.)
Ooh, it looks like my local cricket clubs are back in action right now. I've always wanted to check out a game or two.
I saw a cricket game on TV once. I didn't know what they were doing. I need someone to tell me what is going on the next time.
I was at an Indian/Pakistani (all meats hilal!) restuarant for lunch the other day and all of the workers were completely glued to a cricket match on the TV.
This is cool. Thanks for the post, spira.
"specialist Number 11 batsman?" I'm going to have to remember that one. Nicely done Owl.
My old cricket club used to call me a "ferret", because I went in after the rabbits.
Cricket for baseball people.
"To get kids moving and out there playing in an era of obesity and diabetes is really important," he said. "A lot of these kids would not otherwise be involved in sports." The Department of Education is financing the teams through its marketing contract with Snapple. Oh, the irony.
