Well here goes, I’m not exactly a fan I must admit,
probably because I don’t understand the rules of the game and those positions
on the cricket field like silly mid on.
Silly mid on? Does it mean its a bit silly to be that
close to the guy with the bat cause you might just get hit in the head by the ball
if it comes in your direction or if he lets go of his bat if it comes to that.
‘Short leg’, someone with one leg shorter than the other? No idea what ‘follow on’ means. Is it when the referee says ‘it’s time for
tea’, and they all traipse after him to the pavilion? Is the jargon, ‘dismissed’,
a form of red card for sending a player off? In ‘reply’ - the captain’s mobile rang and he
answered it?
So, to the drawing board on cricket folks, good old wiki
will help me out I expect unless any of you can recommend a really really
really simple web site for me to go to that explains it all. I will let you
know how I get on.

Pakistan and England had a good time out on the pitch in
the heat.
How on earth did the Pakistan team make 598 for 9 batters
(whoops sorry - batsmen),and England, 523 for 8 batsmen. One person made 200?
Wow. Even I know that is pretty good. Both teams batted again and the umpire
calls bad light! Bad light stops play so neither side can win? Match drawn. Well
they could have played under flood lights but both teams had said no earlier
on.
The International Cricket Council is considering the use
of different coloured balls in all test matches, like pink! Red is difficult to
see in floodlights.
"It may be that we use a
different coloured ball for all Tests," said ICC chief executive Dave
Richardson.

Tennis the Menace.
So Djokovic does it again. Knocks out Murray from being
in the Shanghais Open final and then beats Tsonga 6-2, 6-4. Took 78 minutes. I
couldn’t find out what the prize money was for winning the final but have found
out he has won £10,666,000+ in one season. Nice one. Hope he banked it all
before he started spending it. I wonder what he pays Becker? By the way he has
a gluten free diet.
