Where's Cricket?

Fantasy Bob has this transcript from the Government's high powered virtual committee on sport and the coronavirus.

Gentlemen, good news.  The lockdowns are easing.  

Excellent - when is the football on the tele?

Golf and fishing are now allowed.

Who cares, what about the football?

And bowls - only you're not allowed to use the toilet.

Well that makes it impossible for most of the men - they all need a pee every second end.

Gentlemen, we need to think about cricket.

[Pause]

I've thought about it.  Now what about the football?

Shouldn't it be the cricket season now.

Don't be stupid, the football season hasn't finished.

He's right, the cricket season can't start until the football season has finished.

But if the football season starts again, it could go on until.....

...until August, exactly.  When the football season starts again.

So the cricket season can't start.

Well, I think we've sorted that out quite well.  

Er...did you say when the football's on the tele?

  1. The football season, like the universe, never ends. The latest wheeze is for broadcasters to insert crowd noises at appropriate moments in play, where matches are televised behind closed doors. Cricket meanwhile seems to have become a forgotten sport.
