So sorry to hear about the travails of Lord Woodpecker-Smyth with the highwayman but I have happier news.
Lord Turnip loves nothing more than his favorite cricketers the beloved Detroit Nine Squad. Today in their impressive first innings of the season they shattered the poor benighted of something known as Florida Southern College. Gads! If you can't get into an Oxbridge university why go?
As I understand it the bowlers from the Detroit Nine hit around several times using the quaint American "Base-Ball" rules which they seem to want to do these days and the score was something like 17-4 (heavens, how could such a low score be entertaining?) and they hit five of what are known as "home runs."
I hope they revert to the familiar Imperial Cricket Conference rules as played at Lords.
How quaint, this american style "base-ball"
ReplyDeleteFour bases? Imagine. However, I was glad to hear the Detroit 9 defeated the upstarts trousers down!
