History for sale (I’m not selling it)

It does seem to attract a lot more streakers per-capita. I'm confident that is not the only redeeming value.

It's cause the matches go on for days. People get bored. Boredom + beer + cricket = freed willy

Cricket is such a strange language.

Yet, you 'Mericans use it extensively without realizing it. "Sticky wicket", "stumped", 'carrying the bat", "hard slog" and "good innings". All cricket terms. Believe it or not, after soccer, cricket is the second most popular sport in the world.

My wife is Pakistani. You'd better believe I know how popular cricket is. You ever wake up at 3am to watch a sporting match and experience your spouse yelling at the TV in Urdu? Its a special moment, I tell you. If you ever wondered what "bhen chode" means...

And its not soccer, its football.

I’m an international cricket umpire. Know all there is to know about footie. We start both soon. And yes, I get up at strange hours for my cricket.

Definitely not something you hear very often.

Unfortunately my lack of hearing, (your wife will understand) is what benched me!

I quite enjoyed it, thanks for doing so. Gear for that period of diving history was the frontier of invention, and more imaginative than most of the modern engineering wonders that we take for granted today.
