<p>It's a good example of what for many might be an unknown unknown:
those unfamiliar with cricket might well assume that the nets are
for tennis. (Another unknown unknown for me was the pirate bus in
Mrs Dalloway - which before you contextualised it, Stuart, I
thought was just a bit of romancing on Elizabeth's part.
Annotators, I agree, need to be alert to the possibility of such
ignorance.) The things we know we don't know can always be looked
up; the things we don't know we don't know remain unresearched.<br>

<p>I suspect you of playing "tease the foreigner" Stuart! I
had a memory that when in Hollywood, Sir Cedric Hardwicke
expected all expatriot Brits to turn up for net practice
for the local cricket team, but could not find this on
line. But I did find this, from around the time of <i>The
Waves</i>:</p>
<p>"The headmaster of High Wycombe Royal Grammar School, Mr.
E.R.Tucker, in an effort to stimulate the interest of
parents in school affairs, has arranged cricket practice
at the nets for fathers once a week."<br>
