Hi, Paul!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

 AK>  making you miss that low catch in the gully
 AK>  on the last ball of the last over."

 AH>  Paul, where are you?  This sounds like something
 AH>  to do with the game of cricket... about which I
 AH>  know very little although it is popular in the UK.
 AH>  At the end of an afternoon or evening game when
 AH>  sunset is rapidly approaching, however, I imagine
 AH>  the ball could be difficult to track.

 PQ>  I desperately wanted to inject some comment,


           I'm glad Alexander & I inspired you to respond.  I was beginning to
wonder how you were doing because you hadn't posted in E_T for awhile....  :-)



 PQ>  but it is an English game; not Aussie.


           That is the impression I got from various other things I'd read.  I
wasn't sure if you might have learned about cricket during your younger years,
however, and when I looked up "gully" the only dictionaries which mentioned it
with reference to the sport employed even more jargon I don't understand.  :-Q



 PQ>  All I really know is that we enjoy beating the
 PQ>  English bastards, 'at their own game'.


           :-))
