Ah, SLA, that would be bowling off-spin balls to left handers or leg-spin balls to right-handers? Very nice. I fielded first or second slip fairly decently -- it was a difficult task. My batting was indifferent, hit or miss, pun intended! My favourite stroke (in homage to the great Len Hutton) was the late cut, one of the most elegant strokes in a batsman's repertoire. That and the leg glance. Basically, I just loved hanging out with my chums on a Saturday afternoon, LOL.
Geezer Power!

That's one damn complicated sport.
Not at all like my fave, Jumping Jacks, which I'm not all that good at, especially the part where you draw chalk on the sidewalk, basically because Maine comes in almost last in the list of states with the most sidewalks, just ahead of the Mojave which I don't even think is a state.

In college we didn't know what cricket was but we had a pretty competitive rugby club. We even scored a point against the New Zealand university all stars who were touring the Left Coast. Of course, being the farm club for the All Blacks, they scored 23.

For a while I worked in a Spinal Column Injury ward at the VA. I wouldn't climb on one of those death traps for more money than you have.
