Which makes me want to quote Wendy Cope's The Cricketing Versions:
'There isn't much cricket in the Cromwell play' (overheard at a dinner party)
There isn't much cricket in Hamlet either, There isn't much cricket in Lear. I don't think there's any in Paradise Lost* - I haven't a copy right here.
* Apparently there is. 'Chaos umpire sits,/And by decision more embroils the fray.' Paradise Lost, Book II, lines 907-8.
Now I'm just imagining them all in cricket whites [fwump]
