           I'm glad Alexander & I inspired you to respond.  I was beginning to wonder how you were doing because you hadn't posted in E_T for awhile....  :-)

           That is the impression I got from various other things I'd read.  I wasn't sure if you might have learned about cricket during your younger years, however, and when I looked up "gully" the only dictionaries which mentioned it with reference to the sport employed even more jargon I don't understand.  :-Q
