Ah! - spoken like a true Pommy. Not surprised you're depressed, although
our wheels came off in India.
And for the great unfortunate, ignorant masses - imagine a game a bit like
baseball but far more elegant, in which there are no brawls or spitting
(ugh!) and in which the full form lasts for five six-hour days only because
a time limit was imposed. And batting takes considerable courage as a bean
ball is legitimate (remember Lillian Thompson!)
Oly content - photographing it requires HUGE white lenses.
