Since we're getting philosophical....
“Something is added to cricket by the angle of the sun as it stands in at four o’clock in early September. The shadows are longer, there’s a suggestion of cooler days approaching , of circular time, of aspects of our lives dying away and returning. The other sort of time is called Linear Time, Modern Time - life is hard and then one dies, if that’s something one is liable to do. Cricket seems to me to stand for the former, and against the latter - it’s something that dies, then returns, and writes mortals into history, in stories and statistics. Perhaps that’s why it appeals to me - I also die and return, like a hardy perennial”.
From a Doctor Who audio play called "Circular Time" written by Paul Cornell.

I don't, but the Doctor does.
Paul Cornell is a huge cricket fan, plays for his local club, and writes cricket references into any Doctor Who episodes/books/plays he writes - hence the Doctor's nifty little maneuver with the cricket ball in the episode 'Human Nature' from this year's series. |
