Cricket anyone?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I have travelled something like 10,000 miles to the absolute other end of the earth, to a land where cricket is like a roach, just less dirrrty!

Anyway, I haven't played cricket since matric, when I cut self-professed fastest bowler in the school, "Lourens", for six! And yet, in this land where baseball rules the world, we've been invited to play in a game of cricket this coming Saturday morning, followed by tea, scones and cucumber sandwiches.

We were reluctant at first, until we found out that our inviter was a senior manager here. And we don't want to diss a senior manager, do we? So I'm off to go buy a box, or cup, as the Yanks call it - that's one item of sporting equip I REFUSE to share!!
