***CLANG!!***

Was that a name you dropped on my foot?

I was bowled a full toss, it would have been rude not to hit it for six!

You know, making up phrases is fun, but sooner or later some poor fool will wander in and think that batch of jibberish you wrote actually means something in english

More like "means something to the English", like any other cricket reference

Sigh, the Empire isnt what it used to be

Any minute now I will be bowling a Maiden Over.

Ahhh...a sigh of relief...an American realizing that WE are not to take sole
blame for the ruination of the English language.

Rather a stickey wicket..Wot?

Yeah, the good parts struck out on their own!

Now, what's this about Iron Maiden getting back together?

There is a Lancaster at East Kirkby that can taxi

But it isn't going to fly. There's a lot of difference between a taxiing aircraft and a flying one - starting with the paper trail that'll make it possible, and having to rip the whole thing apart to put new metal in places like the spars.

It could happen, but it's not at all likely.

Cricket. Pakistan, Holland, India, South Africa, Sri Lanka and so forth don't think they're England.

Incidentally, the world's first international cricket match was between Canada and...

The USA.

This chap seems familiar, needs a bit of coaching though...

No...but they probably wish they were.

One outa two aint bad! 'batsman', although 'batter' is gaining currency. They probably wish they were Australia, although the English won the Ashes in the last clash after an 18 year drought; the forthcoming rematch of five games of five days each, all of which can end in a draw or a tie... ...will be a nail-biter. Any stat fiends of Baseball will be impressed with cricket's equal obsession with numerical trivia.

Right country, wrong game chappie. A batman was an English officers orderly.
Are they still referred to as batman in this day and age?

[Mudge]

I guess my humor is a bit too obtuse for some of youse troops. I know what a "batman" is.
I'll try to be a bit more obvious in the future.
