You've not met Mrs Ghost.

Watching the cricket yesterday after years of me listening/watching cricket, she asked about Australia running out of time as they seemed to be scoring slowly, just getting singles.

Time?

'Well there must be a time when they have to stop?'

I then had to explain limited overs cricket.

Honest to God, she has no awareness of sport whatsoever, a bit different when it comes to the arts though.



I was at the Margate game, the only thing I really recall is just how unsurprised I was that we scored so many.
Weird looking back, but who were Margate?

Non league part timers, of course Ted would score 9.
