Not cricket
We need some laughs with the way the world is just now.
Woke up this morning and heard the UK correspondent talking.
Not only was I woke up I was WOKED.
The story, Cricket now an all gender sport must reflect that.
So now the batsman will be called the Batter.
Will that be nice and crispy like our Beer batter, or soft and soggy like some?
Man of the match now the hero,
What then of the firie who rescues ten from a burning building, or the one who won the VC defending his country.
Also the third man has to go, pity as it was a good movie.
WOKE be buggered, we have all gender toilets but do not all go in at once.
Call the comfort stations here.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Hi John.
the Woks have gone completely stupid now, I can hear the Barmy army yelling out "Third Leg. Third Leg, you haven't got one.'" Or, "Middle stump, Middle stump you haven't got that either".
