God no
it's only day two. If we don't fuck up for the next 3 days we might win this and draw the series overall but retain our world #1 status. Simple, yes? ;)
Which 20/20 game? It's a good crack. I've got tickets for the Lords Test on 20th May I think.

you two are both too technical for me
i thought i was good because i understand the offside rule. but... 5 days? really? people sit and watch that for FIVE DAYS?
blimey.
i had to turn down the 20/20, would have been at middlesex though. one of the barristers i instruct takes a party there every year. are you coming to london for beers afterwards???

Basically;
Applaud when a batsman goes out to the crease. Applaud when a four or six is scored (that's when the ball crosses the rope), even if it's not your team who've scored it, just polite. Applaud when a wicket is taken (ditto). Do NOT applaud a batsman who has just got out for a duck, you'll look sarcastic.
And lastly, don't chat up any cricketers, they're gentlemen who'll treat you with respect and won't spitroast you in a Travelodge, so are not really your type.

Freddie Flintoff is a gentleman, is he?

It's what's called a generalisation, dear
A sweeping statement, if you will. Possibly a reverse sweeping statement, in this context

Cricket offers me nothing.

Yes, basically, that'll do it
If it's a one-dayer you'll probably be able to get away with the odd raucous yell as the day wears on too

You're doing it again

Ah, Middlesex play their 20/20 at Staines or at Lords I think.
I dunno the plan yet. Depends on when we come down and what Mrs B is up to.
Most people don't actually watch for the 5 days. It's more about the event and the whole atmosphere, a la Ascot or similar

well, yes.
I'll be in the member's pavillion at Lords so jacket and tie minimum I think, I'll need to check.
The plebs can wear what they like but it's pretty well behaved.

Yeah I regretted that as soon as I posted it
but I genuinely cannot think of any other models who look like rakes. I'm aware that they exist but I don't know their names. I realise that this utterly buggers my meme and the stereotypes required to perpetuate it and would like to apologise to the board.

then he was gay or blind, sweetie.
For a start it looks like she's got another whole forehead on top of her normal one. that, or someone shrank all her features but left her head the same size.
