What the Fuck Cricket Is
I played Cricket once when I was ten years-old and Giles Turnbull’s description is pretty much as I remember it:
Cricket, like photographic film, or Tara Reid, is light-sensitive. A game can be called off simply because it’s getting a tad gloomy. This, from a cold, rainy, overcast, gloomy nation like England seems incongruous. But cricket was invented for a reason. And that reason was sandwiches.

I did it all for the sandwich.
I see people playing in the courtyard at work. Probably due to how many Indian co-workers I have. I’ll look for sandwiches next time.
