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.

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
