If you were still here, you would have been in the thick of things as your apt. was on Sand St. where activities are staged and, of course, the Mahaica Playingfield is only a stone's throw away. Is that where your husband got out lbw or was he caught in the gully, or was it silly mid-on :?:

Cheat sheet??? You thought that was helpful??? :lol:

Best I could do was google "got out lbw or was he caught in the gully, or was it silly mid-on" and hope that I made an intelligent response once I figured out the topic was cricket. Now, I could come up with all kinds of great responses if we were talking hockey or figure skating! :lol:

You could even show-off a little more by saying he was rapped on the pads. :lol:
