Merv Swerve
Thunder down towards the wicket. Stop. Do a body wiggle from your toes to your head.
Elephant’s Arse
One of those badly mis-timed top-edge skyers that eventually gets caught by the wicketkeeper. So called because "it's high and it stinks".
Chin Music
Delighful Carribbean calypso, which induces a pleasant nodding of the lower mandible. Best heard through a helmet, and in the pavilion.
el loco
Cricket and croquettes are his passions.
la niña imantada
In the age of revolution.
Umpire’s Daughter
She was only an Umpire's daughter,
Lord’s Cricket Ground
So-called because of the practice of burying deceased or dying members of the House Of Lords under the turf.
Light Meter
Whimsical poetry describing movements in cloud formations.
A cricketing anecdote, I’m afraid
Several years ago my then girlfriend played cricket for Cambridge Uni (I'm not an Oxbridge graduate, though) and on the day of the Varsity Game (in Oxford) I drove various people there including the scorer. Just before the game I was chatting to the scorer who moments before had made a real cock of himself.
Failure
Austrailia at the World Twenty20.
