The positions on the cricket pitch have always been a mystery to me. To be honest, I still don't exactly grasp the intricacies of the sport. But we visited a pub that not only had a playground outside for the kids (a wonderful thing in itself), but also had these fantastic glasses. So I discovered that although there isn't a shortstop in cricket, there is 'silly mid-on'. What?!? Next, I have to discover where the names of these positions come from. Thank goodness it's cricket season already. Hopefully we'll make it to Chalfont St Giles to watch the village cricket team play at home, and Uncle Cedric can delight his nephews with his bowling! Barring that, we'll return to the pub, and I can have a quick cricket lesson while the kids play on the playground--provided the weather gets a bit warmer. No, we didn't tuck a glass in my bag to take home. But I did take a photo.
