Maybe Outdoor Life will carry a little of it.

I was hooked by the helicopter shots. I TiVo the whole damn thing now.... getting ready again.</p> A 40 minute lunch seems a bit hurried. Maybe Outdoor Life will carry a little of it.

There's no guarantee the match will end in a positive result either way.</p> The match between England and Sri Lanka is scheduled to last for 5 days, with 3 two-hour sessions of play each day punctuated by 40 minutes for lunch and 20 minutes for tea.

Cricket and lunch go together very well as long as you pace yourself and don’t let rip with the drink. Aussies are famed for their barbeques at the cricket, the English tend to favour cold cuts, preferably with a strong mustard.

It’s not every blog that gets both Nicole Kidman and Phil Sharpe on the same thread, you know.
