This strip was written with the American audience very much in mind (for whom cricket has never really caught on), but I have to confess that, despite being English, I’ve never really understood cricket either.
The boyf and I went to NZ for a bit of R & R, doing the camping, tramping (hiking) and fishing thing.

Mouse over for captions…
