I take it all back
The groundsman at South Africa’s Cape Town needs to be shot, or at least put out of his misery. The other day, I gave him some props for his sterling efforts in even getting the game going, but that’s nothing when compared to the complete shocker that is the incidental music is being played during stoppages. The 3rd test is meandering to mind-numbing draw, for certain, but I wouldn’t be blaming the lack of spectators on that. No – the answer is a lot more obvious. When there is a stoppage (wicket/lost ball/drinks break) music is played on loudspeakers around the ground – and what is one of the songs they are playing?
The.
Crazy.
(Bloody).
Frog.
That’s enough to turn anyone off cricket for good.
On behalf of all Americans, I apologize. The piped in music is our fault, and it’s the bane of all sport. The world has every reason to hate us, if for no other reason.
As if we didn’t have enough reasons already?! ;)
