Don’t Tell Me the Score
I’m a moderate fan of some
sports (football, cycling, tennis) and an occasional follower of others
(international rugby and international cricket). In the case of rugby, I’m
easily bored. I no longer understand the pernickety rules. Many games, for most
of their duration, resemble the playground game of British Bulldog, without the
latter’s fun (big men charging fruitlessly at a line of other big men). In the
case of cricket, I like the radio commentary more than the game commented on.
