I am less familiar with the rules of cricket than I am of rugby. Is there a rule that allows a player to be cited after the match?
This level of impertinence to the umpire is quite unacceptable.

I hinted that you had got the country right earlier. The drink was complimentary, my father being a regular customer.
Why is it that you have to go to bed by midnight in your father's house but stay up chatting until the small hours when at home?
There is no good answer to that question.
Night, night.

You can fine me all or some part of my match fee.

Your fine has been increased from 1 to 2 free bottles of Offley Boa Vista 1972.

At the risk of further arousing Julian's ire by deliberately starting a port conversation on meaningless drivel, I am constantly amazed by the grumbles about low rent port. I cannot think of a port which I have rejected outright, with the exception of all sorts of rubies. Perhaps I have just been lucky or have no sense of smell.

A genuine offer. Send me you address by PM and you will have a bottle of each of OBV72 and RVC83 within the week, free of charge. I will pay the postage. Please accept the offer.

We appear to be without a question, so I will fill the gap. Still sulking over not being able to attend the Test Match, I decided my question will be "What sport did I last go and watch live?" You can guess sport or event.

While I commend you on your imaginative answers so far, none are correct.
The Red Bull Air Race is not at Ascot until August.
Perhaps a clue. I attended the venue on Friday 30th May.

I very rarely watch Association Football, live or televised. Not Goodwood, not trampolining.
Another clue, I also went to the last day (of 4) on Saturday 31st May.

Some form of that baseball-esque sport with the pitchers who can't seem to throw a ball on the fly to the batter, and the batters who can't find a proper bat so theve stolen a school masters discipline paddle.

Not cricket, not fishing, not something I've not heard of.
Next clue: it is an Olympic sport (summer Olympics, just for the pedants amongst us) and featured in the 2012 Olympics.
