A thought about cricket..

... Which, I realise now, has to be the ultimate game in delayed gratification.
You wait and wait and stare into space and occasionally field a ball that happens to roll into your space, all for the momentary gratification of being asked to bat or bowl.
Amazingly enough, kids tap into the joy of this quite quickly, far quicker than adults who try their hand at cricket for the first time.
