Cricket

On Monday the 13 of September, The Fat Duck had its annual staff cricket tournament.  Now until playing this game, I thought that cricket was quite possibly the stupidest game ever invented.  How wrong was I.  It has the slow pace of baseball, but you add beer (on the field mind you) to make it seem faster.  And while in baseball you have gloves to catch the ball, in cricket you don’t.  This can result in broken hands which require surgery (see photo below).  Leave it to the Brits to come up with this game.

At any rate, it was a fantastic day which left my entire body sore for days; my hamstring in-particular.  I pulled it while diving full sprint into the crease as to avoid getting out.  I will be bringing cricket back to Atlanta and starting a cricket club.  You are all invited to play.
