Watch out for that croquet ball-- it»s harder than you think. And bigger. It»s a big, hard ball.
I got to experience (well, a youtube experience) cricket for the first time recently, after an aussie friend tried in vain to get me to understand what the game was all about (in my head, it was mixed up as a rugby/polo mutation--turns out, it»s really nothing like either of those sports!). I watched the video, and I still don»t get it. I don»t get why it»s interesting at all! Hit, break something (or you break it when you *don»t* hit? I forget now), and run back and forth between two silly wickets. The stop for tea and cucumber sandwiches sounds promising though! Actually, cucumber sandwiches sounds so quaint and refreshing but the idea of little cucumbers on bread just seems odd too. How did that great country come up with so many bizarro things?
