Sorry Jack the Sailor, I don't quite understand your dig regarding rugby and football?

Football players don't wear padding, other than shin pads.

Rugby players don't need padding because they (we, many years ago) are men. Some league players wear head straps but league is rugby for people who might get hurt in a rook and are unsure of their sexuality.

I recall paying rounders as a child. If you want to discuss that, I may be able to remember the rules. I also recall you guys call it baseball.

Wimbledon is a great leveller because it is a sport we can agree on. Your players tend to be better than ours too.
