[SOC] Oo clocks and The Ashes.

Tue, 3 Dec 2002 19:21:02 -0000

Coupla quotes from today's Times editorial on the subject of the Ashes being
'too fragile' to travel.

"There are a number of things fragile with English cricket these days;
notably the batting, the bowling and the fielding."

To which I might add, "And the players."

"At least if they go to Australia, there's a fair chance of them being
caught if accidentally dropped."

(Quotes are from memory and probably not exact...).

Now then. Where's that site on competetive international marbles....?

Paul ;-)
