Young Cricketer. "Yes, I cocked one off the splice in the gully and the blighter gathered it."
Father. "Yes, but how did you get out? Were you caught, stumped or bowled, or what?"
Cartoon from Punch, 21 July 1920.

Ah...the mystery of leather on willow. In what is called a Test Match, you'll need to have five days spare if you really want to savor each and every minute. Baseball it's not!
