Greg came home to a lightless house. "Sara?"

  • Greg came home to a lightless house. "Sara?" He was sure he had paid the power bill. There was a dark humming coming from the kitchen. He saw Sara's shoe by the black fridge. Greg
  • Tried it on, my god, he loved those kitten heels - but where was the left one? Greg frantically looked around the dark room to find the other shoe, when Sara came out of the darkne

    FYI: My grandfather helped to defeat Rommel at Tobruk. The Brits & the Aussies did play cricket whilst waiting for the action. Rommel's army did run out of fuel and many tanks were left abandoned. ANZAC day is on 25 April Below is a link demonstrating all the names and places of the fielding positions in cricket. The 'Silly Mid On' is very close to the batsman hence why you would have to be 'silly' to stand there. A cricket team has 11 players per side. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cricket_fielding_positions2.svg

    Inatick - Glad you pointed out that Rommel was defeated at Tobruk - totally bowled out. I never knew the silly positions were called that because they're silly!

    Also, a game of cricket is never over until the full number of overs that are scheduled to have been bowled that day are over.

    Rather than 'silly' it should be 'suicide mid on' because it is so close to the batsman. The game of cricket is very popular with accountants and statistians who will spend hours examining every detail of the sport in a meticulous fashion.

    Thanks, inatick, for your dedication in explaining cricket to us. I go to cricket matches and watch it on TV sometimes, but I always forget : )
