Simon Barnes: writes an article in the Times to show to those people who "don't get sport" if you're keen to explain to them why the rest of us love it. "It would be nice to bottle the essence of these surprises for people who have the misfortune or philistinism to be sports-blind and sports-deaf. Drink this. Now do you see the point? Now do you understand why we keep coming back for more?"

I'm an unapologetic fan of Barnes's. If you like this and have any interest in cricket (or even if you just know who Kerry Packer was and you like sport in general), the article previous to this one is also well worth a read.
