Cricket (part dix)

I see a good fight developed in the Western Stand yesterday, so maybe cricket fans aren't as different as we suspected rA. That said the main protagonist seemed to be wearing a Paul Gascoigne replica shirt, so maybe we were right!

Different times, GP. My first Test in 1964 veered between reverential silence and clapping. I’m not suggesting we should return to that, but nowadays it seems almost obligatory to dress like a clown and get ‘wasted’.
Plus...it was a free day today with an almost guaranteed victory for ‘Ingerland’...you know who that attracts.

and before you ask, I have witnessed that in the bogs at the Oval on a gentle Friday afternoon at a county match. It wouldn't have been tricky to get away with it though, despite the two fornicating spectators causing the crowd to dwindle by some 10%.
