[wdvltalk-social] Any Cricket Players?

[Matthew Macdonald-Wallace]

Chris,

The best advice I can give is this:

Go to a game.  Get bored and start drinking.  Start talking to those
around you and explain that you don't really understand what's happening
but you'd like to learn. Wait for the laughter to subside. Start
listening. Drink more and go home promising to be "at the next game".
Turn up to the next game and try to remember what you were told last
time, then start drinking again.

The above worked for a good friend of mine, my wife has had to learn the
hard way (me stealing the remote for the ashes series!) but she's coming
round to the idea that it might not be that boring after all...

Cheers,

M.
