		This is blatant bluff, though it does indicate that cricket is not to be treated lightly or dismissed as merely a sport.
		This is because cricket needs endless patience, unthinking loyalty, a slavish mentality: not the sort of game you can see being enjoyed by the hordes of Genghis Khan, or the Sioux, or the Paris mob of 1789, or the Bolsheviks.
		Bored beyond endurance, the uninitiated, watching or even playing cricket will moan: "What's the point of it?" Bluffers know that there isn't a point to cricket (although there is a cover point) any more than there is a point to tennis, ballet, rose gardens or nouvelle cuisine.
