Subject: RE: BS: Anyone for cricket?
Jon (et al),

Your question's a good one but, as I guess 'Spaw's a colonial type from across the ditch, it's absolutely wasted on him! His own contribution totally vindicated my original point - they don't have the necessary grey matter to even begin to understand a game so wonderfully subtle. I reckon that, as there are no prancing pubescent girls waving chaff around and flashing their arses, they can see no point to it!

We've got a Yank where I work who spends entire weekends and most of his holidays at Frisbee-throwing competitions. When my kids were five years old a Frisbee would ususlly entertain them for approximately five minutes, by which time they were bored witless and would start playing cricket or soccer instead. 'Nuff said?

Peace Brothers (oops, didn't mean to mention the 'P' word - they don't seem to understand that nowadays either).
