Do you have regrets about something you always wanted to do, but probably never will?

For me, it's probably quite a long list, but my chief regret is that I never made enough effort to get to play cricket! When I was at school I was simply not allowed to play. I made the mistake of being out first ball during my first games lesson at age 11 and was promptly sent off to play rounders instead, while the games master concentrated his efforts on those boys who showed immediate promise. I tried again when I got to senior school, but the same thing happened again, and likewise when I got to University. I have played in four cricket matches during my life and have yet to score a run - which has always been my ultimate ambition. Attempts to join a cricket club always began with being asked about what experience I had, to which the answer was always "None"! So, despite being fascinated by cricket and loving to watch other people play, opportunities to do so myself have been just about zero and - to be frank - I gave up trying long ago. Maybe I should have tried harder, but this will always be a huge regret to me.
