Cricket puts me to sleep. Shane Warne is a sleaze, I go for New Zealand, but not for Cricket, because I have enough trouble staying awake.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ha, well you wouldn't derive much joy from supporting the kiwi cricket team; the Tasmania B side could beat them with blindfolds. ;p

i can't stand test cricket. could any sport possibly be more boring? 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No surprises there: I wouldn't like cricket if I had to watch the NZ team ... :D

so I doubt anyone can call that boring.

Cricket, in all it's forms, is boring.

Thankyou, Hell Kitty, grand arbiter of taste.

yeah yeah we suck at cricket

 

cheeky ****

Too busy with sheep!

They should introduce the Haka for the cricket team. It might help

instead of cheerleaders? ^_^

The best thing about cricket is listening to Test Match Special on BBC radio. It is the most wonderfully cosy, comfortable, funny and reassuring sound for an Englishman abroad. Sadly, I didn't get to hear any this time as the cricket was on through the night.

I find all sports, except arena football, boring.

 

Women's volleyball is definitely not boring. >_

Cricket and Baseball remind me too much of roundball, which is a kid's game where I come from, it's just barely a sport, like golf.

As an Englishman, I would like to say that we lost because cricket is an English summer sport. The players travelled to Australia in winter and were therefore confused and dismayed. It came out in their game.

 

Yup, that's what happened.

 

Cricket is really a game to be watched on the village green rather than on telly or in a stadium.

You doubted anyone could call it boring, I proved you wrong.

Uninformed opinion is unacceptable by definition.

Oh it's informed alright, my best friend since primary school is cricket mad, and I've watched far, far too much. At one point I even seem to be enjoying it, but the feeling passed.

You're obviously not experiencing it under the proper conditions. I recommend drinking enough alcohol to kill a herd of elephants, then recovering on the sofa whilst a test match is playing on the tv; the light cycle of dozing will be pleasantly interrupted with occasional fits of excitement and replays to help you keep current. :D

so I doubt anyone can call that boring.

Umm...no.

 

We are better than you, that's why we won.

 

It was, and still is, the Summer over here, so England were playing at the right time of the year to play cricket over here. Besides, the Pome's were in Australia before the Ashes began, playing warm up games and stuff. They had plenty of time in the 'right weather' to prepare for the Ashes. Typical Pome, looking for excuses. :D

Unlike my colonial colleague I understand that wining a game of cricket is not the same thing as being best at it. It's like being best at sitting by the fire. You don't get that way by having flashy uniforms and showing off. Of course, our national side are rubbish at that too.

 

EDIT: Cricket was invented when a number of Englishmen were standing around in a field on a sunny day watching three of their friends chuck a ball around. Their wives turned up unexpectedly demanding they put up shelves. But a genius claimed their were ALL playing a game and couldn't leave. This had the added advantage of legitimising drinks afterwards.
