More proof

I say!

Here is a snap of the cricketers changing rooms at Skara Brae.


And if more proof is needed, here is one of an ancient cricket bat, found lying on waste ground, not far from Skara Brae. Note that it is a different shape from those employed today. The game has certainly evolved.


Only the other day, I was attempting to teach Cabbage how to bowl a doosra. Unfortunately something seemed to get lost in translation. The word 'doosra', as I understand it, is not unsimilar to a Yao curseword, and this appeared to cause him limitless hilarity. His attempts to bowl the ball with exaggerated hip thrusting motions completely negated any spin he might otherwise have put on the ball.

Someone's cut a notch out of the bat. Bat-tampering?
