Similarly easy to miss in "One Fine Day" is the derisive parody of the hard-drinking, hard-living lifestyle that the Sex Pistols embodied in their prime...

...admit that cricket will have a tough path in finding acceptance in America. To rephrase Tom Hanks in "A League of Their Own," there's no scratching in cricket. There's also no gum-chewing, no spitting, no national anthem?singing by Roseanne. And unlike that soft padded globe that you call a baseball, the metal-hard leather and cork cricket ball that we use really hurts if you catch it.
