Cricket....God I hate cricket. Cricket= Sundays at Gran's house, bored shitless and silent on a green leather sofa whilst Dad and Gran stare intently at the screen.

Even the sound of a cricket ball hitting the bat makes me depressed.....tennis too....and snooker.

I'll have you know that I live down the street from The Philadelphia Cricket Club!

(I think they stopped playing cricket there in the mid-1920s)

(Okay, their website says they've started it up again, but it's a very exclusive private club, and they don't let the riff-raff from down the street on the property just to watch nice young men in white sweaters)

Ohhh yeah, I'm with you Dana.

'cept its my parents place, with my Dad going "SHOOOOSH". Wtf does he need us to shoosh why he's watching cricket??? not like he's gonna miss any important commentary!!!

I dont mind tennis though (mainly 'coz Andy Roddick is a bit of alright to look at but I do drool when he actually speaks).

Wolf - the riff-raff wouldnt be wanting to watch the nice young men play cricket anyways would they?? There's other stuff to do isnt there?

Yeah....whatever happened to drink and drugs?

Just a little diagram of all the fielding positions. I still get my "Long-on's" confused with my "Long-off's"!

My favorite position is *silly mid on/off*

No - thats not a sexual position either...well..i guess it could be, but I havent come across it.

We call that position 'fucking stupid mid on/off' in our house.

Looks like the poms are going down with a resounding bang before lunch today. Imagine losing a test match by more than 500 runs. What a thrashing. :D

Well it's all over! (before lunch)...

I hope there's a bit more competition in the next test.

youre a big meanie Ali

yeah...I am. :)

omg

I don't drink, VB, or anything else, don't play cricket, and even I want a Boonie!

What's the point of having a boonie if you don't watch cricket? Do you even know what one is???

Well, the Aussies took out the second test in amazing style after a strong start by the poms. Pity they dropped their bundle in the second innings, but I guess that's just the pommies for you. ;)

Puts the pressure on them now though. The third test should be a ripper!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!

That went from being the most boring test match ever to being one of the most exciting. I heard the TV ratings earlier today: Three million viewers in Australia.
