So now I am Learning All About Cricket.

Is it OOC of Sherlock to be a decent bowler?

ETA - I have no idea what this means, but I'm having fun trying to puzzle it out...

The ball following a front foot no-ball will be a free-hit for the batsman, whereby he is safe from losing his wicket except for being run-out.

Edited again - sneering Mycroft aside, do we think the boys actually call their mother Mummy? as adults? I'm not sure I can make myself do that.

LOL - you just outlined my shooting scene - thanks! I'd gotten as far as - do you shoot? not usually recreationally. eh, come along anyway, we're a jolly bunch - and you've very obligingly provided what follows.

I'm not sure yet if I've been talked out of the cricket. I think it would be a good scene with people running around and yelling a lot, and portraying a team sort of vibe between characters appeals to me. Once I started imaging Mycroft umpiring - and there are two umpires - I felt there would be lots of opportunities for funny there.

Fencing - good call. He could give fencing tuition as well.

Fling away! It's very helpful.

Delighted to be of service. "Do you shoot?" "Not usually recreationally." *BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HAAAA* Ahem. Possibly not funny. Not to John at any rate. :/

With a cricket scene, I imagine everyone looking so crisp and lovely in their cricket whites. A mixed gender match, I take it? Oh, and Sherlock giving fencing tuition! This is shaping up to be splendid!
