Old men should not attempt to play cricket with co-workers 1/2 their age. Ouch.<br /><br />Good thing I carry antibiotic cream and band aids in my luggage - BSA Scout First Class, be prepared. =) (I just never got a cricket merit badge)JustJoePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882794348703779345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-29727598870832404122011-05-05T22:28:56.411-07:002011-05-05T22:28:56.411-07:00Should be in a well-received way.

Once someone attempts to correct you, you can give them an etymology lecture, explaining that "soccer" was short for "association football" (which adhered to a specific set of rules), and was used to distinguish it from other flavors/rule-sets of football, e.g. rugby football.pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-34554390176528603392011-05-05T18:00:15.165-07:002011-05-05T18:00:15.165-07:00yep, 20 overs each side.

It seems that they play one "early" match that runs as people are heading home 6 to 9 pm, and a 2nd match that starts minutes afterward with 2 entirely different teams, from 9 to midnightish, every day of the week. I've been watching the end of the first and beginning of the 2nd each night at dinner. It's broadcast ubiquitously - anywhere a person can sit down in a public place to eat or wait, there's a cricket match on a screen.<br /><br />"Winds up" - in a well received good way? or in a provoking, jabbing way?JustJoePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882794348703779345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-87223949213714707742011-05-05T13:33:56.841-07:002011-05-05T13:33:56.841-07:00It was a Twenty20 match?

It was double 3-peats.<br /><br />Also "soccer" is a British word, not an American word. It winds up the Brits, so I encourage its use.pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.com
