I don't even like cricket. But I like Gideon Haigh's writing. Now I've found his blog,
Cuts and Glances: a sideways look at cricket, I might bookmark it. Or just share it here. Since all I know about cricket is how to get grass stains and red marks from the bowler's ball off white trousers. Thank you Slazenger for synthetic, stain-proof wash 'n wear trousers. I'm also pernickety about the prior application of sun screen and packing a picnic jug of iced water. At least organised sport keeps boys off the streets so that's a good thing.
