My father, on the other hand, who is nearly 60 and still plays cricket, makes extravagant claims for the sport. He claims it's not just a sport but a metaphor for life. Apparently, every game is like a battle, and a test series is like a war. Which attitude may go some way to explaining how we managed to throw away our "Bloody British Empire" so quickly and comprehensively.
Mind you, I don't see much sign of Petanque being adopted as an international sport through the influence of the former dominions of the "Bloody French Empire".
Cheers,
