Since cricket interests me just slightly more than golf, I'll just
have to assume from your sincere recitation that you know exactly
what you are talking about, and raise my estimation of FMS to its

Some sports I follow and watch whenever I can, but those two
mentioned above I'll leave to others. Cricket I can safely ignore
here, but it's hard not to have a run-in with golf once in a while in
this are.
