Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-10-12, Page 13Cricket is looking pretty good What to do? It's an October Sun- day when the sports world normally offers up a feast. But these aren't normal times and the famine might be the worst of all ages. Baseball hasn't been played since the days of Expo 67. Or is that the days when the Expos led by 6 or 7? It's been so long we get confused. The NHL is taking a standing eight count while its combatants come to their sense, the NBA seems des- tined to follow suit, and the NFL? It's around for now but will there be labor peace for the whole season? Don't bet on it. So •we go beyond the pages of collective unrest and political pos- turing by men in pinstripes, who don't resemble the Yankees, to sse what else there is in the sports section. Six pages deep, at the high school spread, we seek refuge from the wars. But what's this? Nine thousand public high school teachers have been without a contract . for two years so their work -to -rule campaign means no more after-school sports. HELP!!! Quickly we move on. On .the back page, some actual results. Quite remarkably, Australia enjoyed a first -inning lead of 81 runs and extended that to 282 in the: .second of a test match with Pakis- tan. Uhhh, excuse me, but with a lead of 300 this cricket match hardly seems a test for the Aussies so we'll check back when they•get In A Park Somewhere By Jim Hughson. Sportscaster Sports Network J to the bottom of the ninth. Sometime next week. So the sports section offers no shelter from the storm. Let's try the TV and some channel surfing. Amidst a myriad of fishing shows and goodness knows what else, there are actually a couple of games going on, but we have to watch closely to make sure they're. live and not tape -delayed from a time when there was peace on artificial earth. Apparently it's a toss-up. Watch Virginia Tech battle Syracuse or St. Mary's clash with Acadia. Three downs or four, it's college football and we'll give it a try even though we're only watching because they don't kick field goals on the Wild Kingdom. At the appointed hour for the CBC's new Saturday night hockey doubleheader, we tune to to sec what they'll slap up instead of pucks. Homeward Bound could be the story of Cliff Ronning's, return to Vancouver but it turns out to be a dog and a cat and a few other animals of note. Then there's a flick called Splash in which Darryl Hannah looks considerably better than Don Cherry but seems a fish out of water in the time slot. ' We lay back on the cushions, close our eyes and crave something unusual. Something almost prehis= toric that's been missing since the invention of remote control. A book! Yes, a book, that's what we 'need. Throwing on our coat we rush to the library only to find it's empty and so is every bookstore in Canada. They're empty because the nation is reading. In the absence of hockey, the whole country has picked up a book...and then we wake up. What a far-fetched dream.. Must have nodded off about the time the Whalers would have fallen behind by three.
