Top cricket things not at a cricket ground

Norwood's on Fire

I don't know if it's my favourite thing, but I do like the language cricket has given us. It's used by non-cricket fans all the time without them realising its origins which always makes me smile.

I suppose the obvious examples are "caught out" when someone's been naughty & "hit for six" or alternatively "bowled over" when one is shocked.

A personal favourite of mine is "he/she had a good innings" when someone of ripe old years passes away. :)
When someone in a position of power is reeling out the lies, they "have more spin than Shane Warne"

I love the cricket box that I wear out to nightclubs.
Random punters still lining up to kick you in the cods, huh? It's that trenchant, no-prisoners reporting style... :p
