Vodkaman Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yes, rather flippant of me. In fact I understand more than you think. I played in brass bands for 30 years, as a cornet player. We were hired to play a cricket match once, Bothams 11 vs Boycotts 11. Typical English somer afternoon, tea and scones thing. Half way through the first piece, the cricket stopped and the players stood and watched the band. We thought there was a problem, but we carried on and finished the piece anyway. The players and croud, vigorously applauded then the match resumed. It is all about communicating emotion. Battle hymn certainly does that.

hazmail Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Dave - from what I have seen of cricket (a few test matches), it's as much the cricket as the band, compared to others, it's a very odd laid back game, even at England V Australia test level. I think I saw Botham /Boycott playing in the 'Centenary Test' in Melbourne, very entertaining, AND we won (just).pete Edited December 20, 2008 by hazmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
