I Really had to laugh at your comment dukesdogsmom, is cricket English football, NO its not, lol, its a game played with a bat and ball, bit like softball, but different rules etc, I think the English started the game, not sure, actually its going to be neat, as the NZ Black Caps, our best team are playing England while he is over there, and the forumla one is on in Europe and I think some NZ rugby too, so its a real rivalry thing with NZ and ENGLAND this year, all in good fun, but perfect for his visit, he is bound to run into lots of NZ'ers, a familiar accent is always welcome when away from home.

I remember my American boyfriend of years back, saying the only cricket he knew of was the insect one lol.,

I vaguley remember someone on PT being from Hampshire, not sure if it were England or in America, does anyone know of this PT member, ?if its England would love to Pm her and chat .
