  • johnmperry commented on the word paddy field

    I can remember listening to a cricket commentary on the radio. Clive Rice (South African) was bowling and there was someone with an Irish name batting. The commentator, John Arlott, said "Rice bowls and Paddy fields."

    PS usually padi field. (Usual in my house).
