5th of the 23rd

Another meme, from Norm

Directions:
1. Go into your archive.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

This takes me right back to 2002, and gives the final line, "And they got them!", from this post. So much for English teachers insisting that you should never begin a sentence with a conjunction. It will be split infinitives next!

Appropriately for a meme from a cricket fan, it's one of the very rare sporting posts on this blog, about the finale of the England vs. Sri Lanka Test Match. Norm will be horrified to learn that I have no recollection whatsoever of that match three years later.

I'll pass the baton to anyone reading this who wants to pick it up.
