Nick Luck and the Bum Notes
Posted: March 23rd, 2013, 10:04am MDT by Andrew Hughes
The Lincoln meeting is on, but as stinging horizontal snow and savage North Sea gales are rendering the start of the flat season as appetising as a soggy piece of cardboard on a plate, I thought this would be a good time to stick two fingers down the throat of memory and bring up something from last week. Cheltenham debriefs should always be viewed whilst wearing sceptical glasses; one cool blue lens to filter out the stomach churning joi de vivre of the writer who couldn't stop backing winners; one rosy lens to soften the jagged misery -

I scribbled something suitably misanthropic about the Ashes at Cricinfo this week, but whenever I am grumpy on this subject, I feel slightly sheepish, as though I have betrayed an important cause.

I have been drinking with people who were better cricketers than me, but that is a large section of society, which includes almost everyone between the ages of ten and seventy who has ever played, watched, or thought about cricket....

Tea

Life in fourteenth century Italy was unpleasant. Cricket had not yet been invented. Toilet facilities were rudimentary. People were hemmed in on all sides by plague, famine, war, and the wretched twanging of mandolins. Then there was the threat of being burnt at the stake, a popular pastime in the Middle Ages. (Had it not been for the persistent drizzle in these parts, the barbeque would surely have been credited to European civilisation.) But there was one area of life in which the people of pre-Renaissance Italy had the advantage over us twenty-first century types: the... [ Click on title to read the original article ] ...
