It moans, I take it, that after the previous experience we naturally expected something like what happened in 1914, and we very definitely havo not got it.

In 1914, cricket just did- Hot happen, so far as my recollection goes, until after Christmas, because the German Far East fleet was still in being and we were all standing to, and all games were off.
