    Actually they're on the inside left - if they were outside, they wouldn't work and there'd be no point in having them. :)

    You really think buttons are sewn on the INSIDE? I didn't say they were fastened!

    Is that the Riverside in Durham? I seem to remember it being described as that when Australia played there a couple of years ago.

    If they were on the inside, you wouldn't be able to fit them through the button-holes!
