England Tie With India After Dutch Agree To Learn Rules As They Go Along

by | 27th, February 2011

THE 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup – England v India at the Chinnaswamy Stadium ended in a draw. Cricket, you may supposes is a mixture of amiable buffoonery, manners and insomnia. But England players no longer move like laden hostess trolleys and try to field without the use of thumbs. England have computers, muscles and actually spend time between playing practicing and not reading John Grisham thrillers.

Sure, they just beat Holland, who gamely opted to learn the rules during an actual game, but in tying with India, where the sport is a big deal, England did well.

The nation should rejoice. But it can’t because the BBC broadcasts highlights of the march on BBC Two at 2345 GMT. Pass the travel rug…
