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 
former level :-).

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.
