O: "How can you not like rugby?"

J: "It just never really interested me."

I: "30 healthy, athletic men in tight shirts and tighter shorts rolling about in a field and getting very dirty. Sounds like something you would be very interested in."

O: "Don't tell me that you follow Union instead of League."

I: "I follow both. But one of Jack's favourite sayings is; 'the more the merrier'."

J: "I like cricket."

O: "Cricket is boring as fuck!"

I: "I'm afraid sir that I must reconsider a relationship with you. A man that enjoys cricket but not rugby is a man I don't want to be associated with."

J: "Is it Pick On Jack Day?"

I & O: "Yes."

Word: Cricket

crick - et (noun) : a game popular especially in England, for having two teams of 11 members each that is played on a field having 2 wickets 22 yards (20 metres) apart, the object being to score runs by batting the ball far enough so that one is enabled to exchanged wickets with the batsman defending the opposite wicket before the ball is recovered


End Notes: I have to agree with Owen here; cricket is boring as fuck. Not only that but ACA (Australian Cricket Association) is determined to make cricket even more boring. Here is just a small list of things that can get you banned (sometimes for life) from cricket matches; bringing in outside food and drink, bringing in alcohol, consuming alcohol, doing the Mexican wave, bringing an inflatable beach ball, bringing condoms (which became popular after inflatable beach balls were banned) and everyone's favourite (and the reason why watched cricket as a child) streaking.
