- BBC commentator Christopher Martin-Jenkins during Test West Indies v England 1980-81.

Sunday is Cricket Day. Except I haven't watched any today. Sadly my team stink as we've lost both to the Windies AND NZ so not much hope... then again I could be wrong as I've not been keeping in touch.

All of my friends, sadly, think I'm odd. (Way to go in picking your friends, Louise...) This is because I 1) love cricket 2) love sci-fi (particularly Star Trek Voyager, it's great & I lurve Harry Kim) 3) don't care what they say!
I do hope there are more people out there that find these small worlds of escapism as entertaining as I do. I mean, what other sport could have a catalogue of disasters, mishaps and strange (in Freudian-slippage-manner) quotes from commentators?
