The Cricket Match
The Cricket Match | Hugh De Selincourt
2 posts | 1 read
Through the medium of a cricket match the author endeavours to give a glimpse of life in a Sussex village. First we have a bird's-eye view at dawn of the village nestling under the Downs then we see the players awaken in all widely different circumstance of their various lives, pass the morning, assemble on the field, play their game, united for a few hours, as men should be, by a common purpose - and at night disperse.

Getting ready for the Cricket World Cup. First game should be good. Best of luck to England and South Africa today.

Cathythoughts Enjoy 5y
arlenefinnigan Have you read? I'm not really interested in cricket but it's a fascinating story. 5y
Andrew65 Game on. 🤞for a great tournament. Not often we‘ve gone into one with a realistic chance of competing strongly. 5y

Centique Oh boy. *bites nails*. If England outclasses us I will never hear the end of it from my English friends. And I‘m pretty sure that‘s what‘s going to happen 🧐😝😩 5y
Andrew65 @Centique They certainly have a strong chance, for some reason though never been so nervous about a tournament as this one. If they don‘t win it with this team they never will! Unfortunately when it comes to the knockout stage anything can happen. (edited) 5y
Centique @Andrew65 I know what you mean. I‘m more nervous when my team is one of the favourites than when they‘re not! The Rugby World Cup almost makes me feel sick 🤢 5y
CarolynM @arlenefinnigan I know a bit about Dolly's story, he was playing in the years just before I started taking an interest, and it certainly is fascinating. Thanks for the rec, I'm going to track down a copy🙂 5y
arlenefinnigan @CarolynM I think my favourite bit is where the South African PM calls the MCC a 'subversive leftist group' 😂 5y
Freespirit Oooh love the cricket...watching Eng v SA now... Eng off to a great start 5y
CarolynM @arlenefinnigan Nearly as good as the recent fracas between Ben Shapiro and Andrew Neil. Marvellous what the extreme right consider "lefty". 5y
CarolynM @Centique You and me both, but at least you've come out of it well the last couple of tournaments😬 5y
LeahBergen Have you ever seen the Bollywood film, Lagaan? I don‘t know why I suddenly thought about it (well, it‘s about a cricket game 😆). It‘s good! 5y
