We are supposed to be playing cricket on Sunday at the Vale of Leven cricket club, just below Loch Lomond.

And I mean just below- torrential rain is forecast, so I reckon we are likely to be rained off again- as we were last week…

Cricket suffers a little from jokes at it’s expense, but I reckon this is often to do with ignorance- as in the sense of not knowing what it is all about. The trouble is though, when people ask me to explain the rules, they start to glaze over by the second sentence.

However- thanks to the wonders of t’interweb I can now bring to you- the wonderful mysteries of the game of cricket!
