[wdvltalk-social] Any Cricket Players?

[michael ensor]

Beer, gin and tonic.......

preferably both, then you will be completely at home
with the nomenclature.....maiden overs, googlies, silly mid on
bouncers etc........

then there was the curious case of the twenty two Greenwich
Pensioners.....eleven men with one leg against eleven men with
one arm........the prize money was a thousand guineas
[ the match was interrupted by a riot, but eventually the one
legged team won...]

: Well if they start having games here I'll have to go.  I know the USVI has a
: team, and Allen Stanford (the guy I have a crush on) has moved to St. Croix.
: 
: Is there any preferred drink?  As long as there isn't water nearby I'm safe.
: I do have a tendency to want to take my clothes off if a pool or large body
: of water is near after I've tossed back a few.

: 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,
:
