Of course!Heathens !

But honestly, you can't tell me that you would not enjoy that most gratifying sound of hardwood on bone as you walked through the Senate floor (or Parliament) swinging that bat with great conviction!
And the very thought of that makes today's "what cheered me up"!
It's not just Cricket. Back when I was in 8th grade a few of my friends and I tried to explane baseball to a German exchange student, going as far as taking him to a park district ball field and acting it out. Totally hopeless. I guess it's just something you have to grow up with.I have added another item onto my bucket list, "Understand the Game of Cricket". I see the one with Kate Beckinsale occurring first however.
My wife is a football fan, but after 30 years together she also loves cricket but only on the radio she never watches it, the cricket radio commentary is up to 5 days of sport combined with complete nonsense about everything from cakes to seagulls and the colour of buses.That's really awesome!

That place has a very colorful history from being a military outpost to prison. Remember not to bend over or you'll become subject to the SF space program. They like to explore Uranus.Lovely day touring Alcatraz...
