1 hour to the Cricket

'We all have moments of revelation. Perhaps once, when we were children, we did not believe at all. Perhaps we were too busy with our homework, or just engaging in the random cruelty and violence that customarily dominates the lives of small boys. Then one day we were playing tip-and-run in the playground, or maybe even watching a one-day match on television, when a blinding light suddenly enveloped the land, and a male voice did speak, and it was pregnant with authority, and it was probably Richie Benaud, and he said 'Morning, everyone', and life was never the same again'.
