I would have put you on the District Line. Upton Park to be precise
(two stops short of Barking, hahahaha)

"Johnny Foreigner" has trouble with cricket. Round-the-wicket googlie
yorker to off-stump gets nicked past 2nd slip to deep gully etc etc

But have you ever tried the London Underground game Mornington
Crescent ? (a station on the Northern Line) -

sample rules -

Under Rule 4 of Article 5 (Chuttney Rules 1947) I may change line even
if I am not on a junction but only if the colour change is from right to
left
on the rainbow spectrum

Because it's Monday tomorrow, the short rules only apply and from the
2nd turn in reverse order during May. Please also remember rule 7b: All
Egyptian moves are disallowed except crossovers and double takes.

No agonals allowed, mind the gap on the circle line, the fourth quarter
is quashed

Under section 43 (a) i/ of the triple backhand (revised) rules, a player
may only move in a counter-clockwise way and not changing lines more
than once apart from if the player in question plays an underhand
backswitch manouver, and only if the net play contains any of the letters
in the word tube

Cricket ? - piece of cake. Mornington Crescent ? - good luck
