OP you made me think back to a post i did in 2005 on another forum, re: cricket. Bothwell was my English fiance.
this may make you laugh a little
naked cricket
ME: as many of you know i am going to move to old Blighty with Bothwell...so today i was telling him i do not understand cricket at all! he said he will bring some tapes over, hours and hours ...so i asked, if i must watch them, can i be naked? he said no, i had to wear a sundress, one of those stupid ladies hats with twigs and foliage on it, and serve cucumber sandwiches with no crusts and scones! is he insane? he'll be lucky to get a heineken and a sub from publix. sooooo can someone explain cricket to me? i think he is winding me up.
Re: naked cricket
Bothwell: Just to reassure my English colleagues, I will at no time be warching the beautiful game that is cricket minus clothes. I shall be wearing my cream slacks, powder blue Gieves and Hawkes shirt, Old Etonian cravatte and panama hat.
I have no earthly idea as to what LC thinks is acceptable behaviour when watching our national sport but what I shall term "bedroom activities" shall play no part, damn colonials!!
another Brit:
My dear LC, if you are coming to England you simply must learn the dress code for such occasions!
A summer frock must be worn (sleeveless)
Flat white court shoes.
Short white lace gloves.
And a floral or lace covered hat to finish the ensemble.
As for the rules of cricket....Bat.......Ball.......Wickets
Bat hits Ball, Ball hits Wickets.....yaaaaaaay, time for cucumber sandwiches (you may not take your gloves off to eat them)
If at any time you feel the urge to strip off your clothes, dont be ashamed, it's quite the norm for young ladies without clothes to run across the pitch, they are commonly known as streakers.
Owzat!
