#can't blame stephen for thinking it was hurling

[quatregats]

Was reminded of the existence of this random Cricinfo comment my dad sent to me like three years ago and I needed to draw them

Stephen: Tea, beforenoon drink, afternoon drink, lunch, postlunch tea: definitely cricket is a luxury game invented by British people.

Jack: Quite so, old fruit. What's the rush, what?

#this was the father equivalent of dropping a meme in the groupchat so i am allowed to use it as a meme template #the commentator was saying this ironically but jack is 100% genuine (and also perhaps a hundred years off linguistically. whatever) #18th c cricket bats were fucked up so i kind of went for the middle ground #can't blame stephen for thinking it was hurling #recontemplating the cricket au as always. might actually write it someday #perce rambles #scribblings & such #aubreyad #i changed it from test match to cricket bc i'm pretty sure test matches were not a thing back then but idk i'm not a historian
