Bone dry. Parched.
"Not cricket?" A game traditionally imbued with archaic British reverence for honest amateurish endeavour. If you're caught behind cleanly by the wicket keeper after the ball just barely snicks your bat, such a quiet snick in fact that it's perhaps too quiet for either umpire to hear, you tuck your bat under your arm and walk back to the pavilion-- you don't hope that the umpires didn't hear it and turn down the fielding team's claims of 'Owzat!' British stiff upper lip and all that, old chep, what ho, integrity, honour, sense of fair play, and other antediluvian hypocritical attitudes from a different age. Slainte, RJ.
