Actually deeply disappointed that I don't know enough about cricket to make The Creative Endeavor a cricket AU, this sport is perfectly designed for being completely and utterly incomprehensible to people who Don't Know What The Words Mean

#why is silly a real name for a fielding position #i did start actually reading cricket stuff because i tempted the possibility of a shorter cricket au #and i have to say that all the words i read about it are in that awkward 'i understand like 80% of this but am still not quite sure'#there's a lot of numbers connected by short words and no context and i *think* i know what they refer to #anyways on the plus side i started reading clr james's beyond a boundary #aka cricket book that when i mentioned reading the black jacobins my dad was like oh i love that guy he wrote a book on cricket #anyways yeah i get why he was insane about it #would highly recommend there's all kinds of interesting stuff going on there #perce rambles #The Creative Endeavor and other aubreyad nonsense #i'm not actually sure that football is more comprehensible or if i've just been playing it since i was 5 #though i do think bat-and-ball sports have a higher Confusion factor. baseball also has a lot of numbers and no context
