a strange thing happened at cricket today...

A strange thing happened at cricket today.A group of 'cricket fans' sat in front of us and prior to the beginning of the the game they chatted among themselves about the selfish spectators who talk all the time,spoiling the game for everyone else.When the umpires walked on the pitch and the players were clapped on I was surprised to find that these 'fans' were so busy talking that they didn't seem aware that the cricket was about to begin.I'm sure I don't need to tell you that they talked all through the match.They talked about cricket venues including Trent Bridge,Old Trafford,Grace Rd etc and all the time they were missing a most enthralling game of cricket which they'd paid to see.They boasted about their trips to Australia to 'watch' the Ashes -I doubt if they saw any of it!As we were about to leave I asked if they'd enjoyed the day's cricket.'Loved it,wouldn't have missed it for anything'one of them said.You could have fooled me!!!
