Dear All,
Today, as I watched part of a game of cricket between Australia and
New Zealand, I was amused to hear a tall New Zealand player referred
to as 'Two-metre Peter'.
Unlike basketball, the game of cricket does not depend on height for
success so there is a normal range of heights among the players.
By the way, this is a test match so it is a single game with four
innings — and the whole match can last up to five days! It's a
leisurely business watching cricket.
Cheers,
