Following Lisa's Advice ...

Following Lisa's advice ("Breath Poppit"), I bring you ... Cricket. The ultimate calming game.

When we were in England this last time we sent and saw a Cricket match at the famous "Lord's Cricket Grounds." This was a (in English) a short game between two rivals that finished even earlier due to rain. (in British: A 20 Over between Middlesex and Surrey- called to a 19 Over due to threat of rain, ultimately played as a 10 Over due to a storm and scored with the Duckworth/Lewis method).

So, it was totally fun. And it is a LOT easier to understand in person.


By the by, Middlesex plays in the pink outfits this year to raise money for Breast Cancer. It was heart warming to see the fans in pink. Even though most of the men couldn't really pull it off.

Here is a picture post match of Jane, Larua, Ed and Dan (Laura's "Manz"). You will notice that everyone looks good in the pictures I post Mr. Dan!



And if you think this is an old picture and couldn't possible be July... well,you would be wrong. This is 9:15PM at night. The ground was wet because 1/2 way through the game it was called due to a (in English) piss all downpour. (in British: a light, but fast moving squall).

PS: More on Duckworth / Lewis for when you want to be totally confused.
