Some history class. What most Australians don't know is that their favorite sport was invented by my fellow country men. Yes, I'm talking about cricket. I feel all Aussies should honour me and the other Belgians for that matter with free beer whenever we enter a pub. So what is the story? Many historians agree that it all started with Flemish wool traders (apparently we were famous for our wool) traveling with their sheep to England where they decided to play some game in which you had to "glance off" a ball with a stick. Yes, we are easily entertained. The word for 'glancing off' is 'ketsen' in Dutch and 'een krik' is another word for a stick. "Met de krik ketsen" or "glancing off with a stick" became "cricket" in English. Thank you Belgium!
Zzzzz....
