It’s a beautiful day here in Edgbaston; well, let’s face it; it’s always sunny in Legoland. We’re gathered here at the stadium to watch the blue team play the red team at cricket. At the moment everyone’s trying to work out where the ball is. Everyone’s head is turned towards the bowler who looks like he’s just about to start his approach, even though he’s empty-handed. The wicket keeper has his arms outstretched and ready to receive whatever comes his way. The Bowler’s end umpire has his attention firmly on the stumps but the square leg umpire seems a bit confused. No-one is actually moving. Hang on, there’s a rumbling sound. It’s not thunder as we’re in Legoland. It sounds like something is spinning. Machinery is turning. And there we go; the players are in motion. The batsmen are edging forward very slowly in a long oval motion while the bowler is edging backwards and forwards between the stumps. But where the ball is and what the score is still at this moment remains a mystery.
