Do NOT believe anything you read or see transmitted.For instance, by far, the largest sport in the UK is fishing - yet almost ignored by the media.
Rugby League has a huge following - all match tickets are usually sold out immediately. but this game is only covered by local TV networks. Only clips - are ever shown on National TV
However, all is put into the shade by CRICKET - a mysterious game with both teams clad in white with no identification whatever [no Beckham # 7 here]Even more weirdly mysterious are the terms used to describe the game's features .
For instance,
When you go in, you are actually out and alternatively when you go out you are in.
What on earth is a silly mid on or a googly - needs Googling - obviously
The TV and radio coverage is total. but to the general public the names of the players are quite unknown - in fact is anyone interested anyway?
When a goal is scored in the beautiful game the entire stadium erupts
With the only game with mealtimes, lasting for days at a time with players known as nightwatchmen - when a ball eventually hits a pad or a stump - the cameraman scan banks of empty seats until he finds a knot of hardy spectators.
In a word - who watches cricket?
This game should be put into the same league as polo...... elephant polo
