Cricket is for poofs - Official!
For years I’ve been trying to convince various ex-girlfriends that cricket is, in fact, a manly game played by finely tuned athletes. “It’s just as dangerous as rugby” I would tell them as I recalled various injuries I’d witnessed on council pitches across leafy Buckinghamshire.
“But it seems…I dunno…a bit gay” they would reply and no matter how hard I tried to convince them otherwise, they would always assume that there was another side of my nature which I wasn’t telling them. A more, how shall I put this, feminine side.
It appeared that my love of cricket meant that short of flouncing down the road in a rubber basque singing Judy Garland songs, I couldn’t be gayer if I tried.
