Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.

Ain't that the truth.  Now that Wednesday soccer practice has been replaced by cricket practice and Sunday mornings will henceforth be dedicated to the sport.  Not to mention the televised version which will no doubt become our summer wallpaper music. The drone of the commentators. Strangely comforting nonetheless.  Nostalgic. Ro-Ro has decided to take his plastic cricket bat to school for lunchtime matches.  It sticks out of his backpack with pride.  Meantime I have grass stains to wash from the knees of white trousers but that is the extent of my commitment.
