Subject: RE: BS: Anyone for cricket?
I'm a bit of a traditionalist as far as cricket is concerned as well.

I did go to a couple of the Twenty 20 group games at Old Trafford, and have to say I enjoyed myself a lot.

Due to work and other commitments, I don't get a chance to go to many games, so being able to finish work, watch some exciting play, have a couple of beers and still be home for 9pm was a hit with me. (Seeing Shoaib Akhtar square cut for six was worth the entry price of one game alone)

Jon, you'll be pleased to know that during the (albeit short) innings break kids played on the outfield, a great many of them at that. I do wish they'd lose "Another one bites the dust" whenever a wicket falls, though.
