.... I might be accused of "heresy" here from the forum's cricket fans , but one of the main reasons I was turned off the sport as a youngster was the sheer, aching boredom of waiting for Geoffrey Boycott (and others of his ilk) to score a run!

Dear Olga,

Ah, but have you ever considered the possibility that Boycott was put there to test our patience? He certainly treated the business of scoring runs as though it were a penitential exercise - it was for those of us watching him!


In Christ,

When I was a teenager in the 70's I remember cricket being quite exciting. I can recall lessons where lots of us had radios under our desks and were trying to keep up with the state of play through the day.
