I will shock you all and say Cricket Books

And have a cup of tea from my cricket mug while I read my cricket book.

I don't know if it's my favourite thing, but I do like the language cricket has given us. It's used by non-cricket fans all the time without them realising its origins which always makes me smile.

I suppose the obvious examples are "caught out" when someone's been naughty & "hit for six" or alternatively "bowled over" when one is shocked.

A personal favourite of mine is "he/she had a good innings" when someone of ripe old years passes away.

When someone in a position of power is reeling out the lies, they "have more spin than Shane Warne"

Random punters still lining up to kick you in the cods, huh? It's that trenchant, no-prisoners reporting style...

It's more because I have "busy hands"...

My team off the ground, we have the best time together. We just talk about Cricket all day.

And ICC 2005, 2006.

Presumeably if they were playing in said match?

Nah, they're upstairs
