Been watching the current cricket, England v India? Fine stuff, exciting, fast, fun - great cricket :)

And what's to understand? It's hardly rocket science - one bloke chucks a fucking hard wooden ball at another bloke (at up to 90+ mph) who has to hit it with a bit of wood... if the ball hits the wickets or his leg when it would have hit the wickets or if someone catches it after he's hit it then he's out and the next bloke has a go. Whoever hits it most wins. Brain surgery it ain't :)

Oh and watching cricket live is just superb. Bunch of mates, summers day, pile of beer, some men hitting bits of wood with other bits of wood off in the distance while you all get drunk in the sun, what more can you ask for?

Only thing I ever found interesting about cricket is the above quote.

Dare I ask why? :)

I quite like Cricket. I only ever watch The Ashes religiously though, I tend to keep an eye on the scores however.

Mind you, channel4 can fuck off and die for cancelling ER every weekday to show cricket all day. Especially on my day off. :|

But the short skirts and small vest things!!! :)


I am partial to a bit of cricket now and then. I considered going and watching the test at Trent Bridge during the ashes, however didn't have the balls to do it :/ I don't know anyone to go and watch cricket with really :(

And it'll be, what, 4 years till i'll get a chance to watch the Ashes here? :(

Cricket completely depends on what kind of mood I'm in as to whether it's shit or not. I've been to watch matches before, and there's nothing quite like sitting out there with a crate of beer on a nice, warm summer afternoon. Didn't actually really pay attention to the cricket though, so... yeah, it is shit. :)
