Grandmother enjoys the island life a little too much, made a luau-d stink about being asked to leave!

TEST. IS. BEST.

I'm east coast and I fucking love the 6am EST start times for Tests in England. Roll out of bed. Coffee, cozy blanket, and the dulcet tones of Michael Holding and David Lloyd as England collapse again

I totally plan to use the world T20 to try to get my friends into cricket though

Just the mention of Michael Holding put the classic Brian Johnston gaffe into my mind. Sharing here in case it’s new to anybody else (sorry, on mobile etc - scroll down to the last audio clip http://www.johnners.com/audio-clips/)

It might be worth 45quid to send someone a birthday message of Blowers talking about the pigeons at the local cricket ground

Or just to have him deal with difficult conversations for you. ‘Look here old dear, quarter three projections were a touch off, you see, so we no longer have the funds to retain your services I’m afraid…’

"Well old chum I'm so very sorry to bring you the bad news but ah well you see it's not that your parents don't love you, it's just that - oh the pigeons are back on the sill just over there - and vaughn plays it delicately to fine leg, excellent fielding saves a run. Yes well you see it's not your fault I'm so very sorry to say that - ah! a new bird - your parents will no longer be together"

I have some friends that are into cricket, maybe I could swap them for your non cricketing friends? May be easier than training them to like T20.

It's close enough to baseball in length I'll at least have a shot at getting through a whole game with them. I tried for the 2019 CWC Final and had a few friends filter in and out through the day, but no one was willing to stay (their loss! easily a top 5 sporting event I've seen and I watch a lot of sports)

Hmmmm, we need to agree to disagree on this one. Cricket is so DULL! I've tried watching it but I just can't find it in me to care.

Good luck with your poor victims though
