Of Cricket. . .
Some of my co-religionists believe the following. I remain skeptical.
"Cricket is actually a metaphor for rebuking heretics. The thee stumps of the wicket represent the doctrine of the Trinity, while the two bails on top represent the dual natures of Jesus Christ. The bowlers attack the wicket with pace, with spin, and with flair. Meanwhile, the batsmen, in pairs (Cf Luke 10:1), defend the true doctrine of the church, and when they are able to they score runs (Cf. Hebrews 12:1) to advance the kingdom of God. Players on both sides wear very similar white outfits (the white of the baptismal garment) which are distinguished one from the other by subtle pinstripes or club crests. This represents that heretics and orthodox Christians seem so very similar, and can only be told apart through discernment and wisdom, and by paying attention to which ones are attacking the unfailing truth once handed on to the saints.
Or something."
