Thread Name: BS: Great Gobs of Spit.
Subject: RE: BS: Great Gobs of Spit.
Yes - of course I meant Yankees.
Stress ? We had a great cricketer here just before and after WWII.
Keith Miller. During the war he was a Spitfire pilot in England.
In his latter years he was interviewed on TV and asked about the tension and stress of a cricket match. His reply, if I remember it correctly, was ; " Stress ? stress son ? Stress is flying back across the English Channel, out of ammo, low on fuel and two Messerschmitts right up you arse. Cricket is only a game."

Number 6. I agree baseball is a great game but what I'm asking is why spitting is a feature of this sport and not others.
