There are young people, I think from Shrilanka, that play cricket in an old empty parking area near our neighbourhood and, pensioners who sit around to watch them play seem to have learnt the rules. I will have to look at the video now. Greetings Maria x
Ah, those were the days. I remember them well. I also recall sitting in the LCCC members stand (another wonderful British use of words) watching England v Pakistan in 1975. Now it's just a business like any other. Which is a shame.
There are only three types of real cricket. Prep' school cricket, village cricket, and test cricket. I remember the days of Botham, Richards, and Co, very well. That was the last time I really took an interest. It's never been the same since.
Our dad played cricket and I loved the sunny Summer days when we used to go and watch him and the tea in the Pavillion ..... that was my favourite bit ! Hope you are feeling a bit cheerier today Cro ...... I don’t think it’s like you to be down is it ?...... is it the weather ? XXXX

Perhaps you should show the video to the 'pensioners'!
Ha ha! I think these are the exact same comments the pensioners make, like in this video!

Yeh, that's cricket for you.
But, we love it; at least I do!

Crikey. That's not cricket. Cricket is what the Windies used to play.
Come back Viv Richards. All is forgiven.
I was a member at Sussex in the early 1980's when Imran was still playing. It was often lacklustre.

Viv used to knock them out of the ground at Rishton. Anybody waiting for a bus in the nearby street stood the risk of a headache.

That was funny.
Quite amusing. By osmosis, I seem to know a bit more about the game .
As good as any explanation of the game, especially the getting drunk part afterwards! Funny
Didn't work on my site but really cricket has always been a closed book and not sure I want enlightening anyway.
Lady Magnon used to make the Teas for my sons team. It was a lot of work!
And reasonably accurate.
The more I watch Rugby, the less I seem to understand.
He got that bit right.
You didn't miss much Weave.
