    It looks a bit breezy but it's difficult to tell.

    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

      Darker clouds brewing up in the distance.

      Difficult to determine the wind direction from watching telly so I can't say whether they threaten the ground or not.

      I'll obviously keep a close on the situation as it develops.

        Could you explain this from the "alternative" commentary offered by the BBC:

        1237: Strauss gets caught between two stools, attempting to pull a ball a couple of feet outside off-stump when perhaps he should have cut. A touch of the Alec Stewarts about that shot. 55-0

          I haven't seen any stools on the pitch but there's one player who keeps squatting down behind the sticks so maybe he's plopped a couple of times.

            Commentator with an incredibly boring voice has just declared that it's quite warm and comfortable for the spectators.

            So now everyone at the ground has settled down the players are about to go off to have lunch.

              Extras has had two of his runs disallowed. He's only got 7 now. Maybe it's a punishment for being invisible.

                The ice cream men have nicked the two small sticks on top of the long vertical sticks. Apparently the players can't continue without them so they're all walking off.

                It's probably just an excuse and really they're leaving because they feel a bit peckish.

                          These chatterboxes on telly all have incredibly boring voices. Is it a requirement of the job or is it the effect of watching cricket?

                          One of them keeps droning on about how the bowlers need to keep "banging away" so maybe there's more going on in the dressing rooms than we realised.
