It seems it takes an "Eternity" to play a game of Cricket from what I remember....and is almost as exciting as watching paint dry!

For those who have not had the Pleasure,
Cricket is a game played by gentlemen, for gentlemen, it invokes a deeper understanding of life, without the need to kick seven colours out of a pigs bladder on a muddy field, the only exception is that some times others try to emulate the gentlemanly side of the game, but more often than not fail dismally.
A true Englishmans game.
The umpire has agreed that I can withold my name

Well, at least it's gentlemen on both counts!
Unlike the other two outfits - Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen (jury is still out on whether we can refer to as gentlemen the bankers and others who who form part of the professional classes so fond of rugby) while football (soccer to some) is a gentleman's game played by hooligans (jury back in with a unanimous verdict)
