Re: "paying out the nose"
I broke the downvote counter the last time I made an observation about how rounders is a pathetically inverior version of American baseball.
Really? I could have expected that response maybe for Cricket, but not 'rounders' I thought only preteens played that...bu then I don't pay a lot of attention to sport, their might be a professional 'series', leaugue or 'world championship' I don't know about.
No one would get that impassioned about an amateur game... You don't hear the Hockey fans belittle Polo much....
I also got the impression most americans were less baseball focused in favour of 'football' the last few decades.
