Well, I hope this thread doesn't get killed - without the "ng" nonsense, it's a lot of fun!

undoubtedly, james...

it'll probably lie dying on its own...through inertia with the 'ng's et al.

so let's be careful!

lying not, either, about the test-match cricket at the fine Chester-le-Street grounds. You are welcome, if you'd like to visit!

on reviewing...there's no test-match cricket scheduled at Chester-le-Street this summer.
But a one-day game England hosting New Zealand and later South Africa! Great fun! Come!

Methinks I'd just take the fireworks and leave the cricket.

ET wants to start with last two letters, but sometimes can't quite manage. No big deal! It's one-upmanship. Not!

Beating a batsman / batter, to the line is OUT...in cricket and who then, has to walk back to the pavilion and a cup of tea. how nice!
