Nic put up on insta that he spotted himself in the episode.
FYI It was quite a bit more than just a social game of cricket. Would have been equivalent of wandering into a game of College Football and asking to chuck a couple of footballs to the WR during warmup. This of course makes it funnier and perpetuates the American tourist cliche even more. Please do this at each of the future international tourist Sauce venues. eg Swedish Ice hockey, Scottish game of Shinty …
Already VERY excited for the King Island episode(s) coming up.
I’ll add to that, I’m pretty sure the oval they walked onto would have been like district/premier 4th grade. So more cricket tragics with the delusion of actually being any good, which they are most likely not. But having played low level cricket, it is a mixture of weirdos that take it too seriously hence them not being overly welcoming. The oval they popped over to being the junction is a bit different.
I played 3-4 years of 1st and 2nd grade in the Penrith park comp and honestly it’s heavy with Uncle Rico types.
When I moved over to play lower grade Sydney Grade cricket there were far more normal fellas. And the weirdos there were more like young kids (16-20) who thought they were gonna become something when it was evident they might top out in twos, if everything went right for them.
Although it would be completely lost on most here and a massive waste of time, a referral to the early stuff from the Grade Cricketer would better explain the social dynamics of (grade) cricket.
Confession: I’ve spent maybe 200 days in the southern hemisphere and it had never even crossed my mind that the toilet waterflow WASN’T a prank they play on tourists. That opening scene has me shook.
Is it same in NZ, Japan, Argentina? How did i never notice? Is the egg balancing thing also real?!?
