* I don’t like sport, but have played two seasons of… cricket
Yes, that last one is true of me. Even M didn’t know this, until yesterday – I once played cricket for a university women’s cricket club. I had to add that because M told me yesterday that one of our work colleagues asked him if I liked cricket, and M told her I know even less about cricket than he does! This is patently untrue – I probably know as much about the sport than he does. If not slightly more, given that I actually played.
I think it’s quite heretical, if you’re in Australia, to say that you dislike sport. It doesn’t matter what The Church thinks, sport is the national organised religion here. The headlines are dominated by it, people are obsessed by it, families are torn because of it. Australian Rules Football and cricket are the two major sports here and of course the truly obsessed will follow just about any sport – soccer, golf, tennis, formula one racing, netball, lawn bowls…
But back to my two seasons’ worth of cricket – I played only because someone begged me to, as the side was in danger of forfeiting a game, being one player short. Before I joined I had practically NO idea of how the game worked or what I was supposed to do. And in case you think I was any good at it, I was the club’s Most Improved Player for the two seasons I played, but only because I was so pathetically hopeless that I did, of course, improve after weeks of trying to field and bat (I couldn’t, can’t bowl to save my life). I finally quit because all those weeks of standing in the West Australian midday sun in summertime were causing my brain to melt. I no longer remember why I went back for a second season. Maybe because playing cricket is minimally more interesting than watching it?
So I do know something about cricket. I will declare here that I no longer play (or care to play) and do not now watch, listen to, or in any way follow whatever goes on with the Australian or any other cricket side. If I do know anything about the Ashes or whatever it’s only because I find it impossible to not take in these snippets of information while I’m listening to the news.
(This meme has been amusing to do, and I now think I have enough data to do Anna’s meme!)
P.S. Sorry this is so horrendously long, I can’t work out how to do the linking thing with the body of the post…
