Yes - Cricket = Peace and Love

I have only ever been to one cricket match. A massive fight broke out between the supporters of the home side, and...


... some other supporters of the home side.

As anyone who has read "Life, The Universe And Everything" they will know about the origins of this so-called game played by gentlemen (and ladies on occasion)!
