“Is cricket the one where you hit the balls through the little hoops?”
“That’s croquet, Mrs Hudson.”
“Is it the one where you have to throw the ball backwards?”
“No, that’s rugby, Holmes. You solved a whole mystery about rugby, remember?”
“What, that business with the horse?”
“No, that was Silver Blaze--”
“Oh, I know - is it the one where they hit eachother with the sticks?”
“That’s ... actually, I have no idea what that is, Mrs Hudson. Jousting? Morris dancing?”
Summer is here, and that can only mean one thing - shutting myself indoors to listen to the cricket on the radio and hoping England don’t embarrass themselves too badly!
ETA: wait a minute, the score is what?!
