I don't like Cricket

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I freaking love it ... so if any phillistines here don't agree, stay the frig away from this thread!

Shame about Kenya and also Bangladesh ... the good stuff's going to start happening next weekend. The Southampton Rose Bowl is one beautiful cricket ground btw.

There are 10 million things I rather do before I sat down and watched some men dressed in white stand around and sweat in the sun on some very nicely mown grass. I have the list here!

And we will live forever in the eyes of nature.

We should come together one time and compare your list with my encyclopaedia.
Maybe you got some I have not yet thought of :twisted: :twisted:

as I understood it, the only benefit of cricket was being able to drink your beer outside with no one hassling you while you let your eyes slip gently out of focus on a bunch of men in white far far away

I'd always believed an appreciation of cricket, with all its subtle intracacies, is a mark of culture and maturity.

So far this thread seems to be backing me up. Nice to see Collingwood among the runs against Zimbabwe.

Actually, it wouldn't suprise me at all if SA at least got to the final... I mean, Gibbs has got to remember which end of a bat to hold at some point! :lol:

I predict a suprise win for New Zealand :notworthy:

Oh very droll with the Herschell remark ...
SA / Pakistan final would be my ideal match - just hope we manage to smack ten sorts of s**t out of the Ozzies.

Cricket is God's Sport. I believe it was originally intended to replace War, but hasn't quite had the required impact yet. One-day slogathons bear little or no relation to Cricket whatsoever. But they're fun, especially as it gives you license to just tw@t the ball as hard as poss, unlike proper Cricket where you're expected to hang around a bit, and play <spit> defensive shots.

I haven't seen a ball bowled yet in this latest comp. Who's looking good, apart from the Ozz swines? Duckworth & Lewis & Clark been involved yet?

That's because it hasn't caught on with the American masses yet.

WORD!
The stars and better games will only start happening towards the end of this week - the first games (USA getting the lowest one day score ever) were pretty boring and all white-washes. But I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I was disappointed Kumble didn't play in the India game but I think they're saving him for the Pakistan encounter, which should be a right cracker of a game.

Jeepers there was a Heartland Cricket Thread?!! :eek: I like the concept of cricket. Getting bluttered on the village green in a deck-chair whilst the head of the local branch of the WI murders the Reverend in the parsonage because he's having an affair with the Maid. Kind of Agatha Christie gone wrong and an England that probably never existed... ;D

you wouldn't believe the amount of utter bollocks that was spouted by the likes of RicheyJames in an attempt to set themselves as being above the common herd (there's a joke there as RJ is shorter than a 16 year-old' boys first time but such things are beneath me *snigger*). the epitomy of the "it's cool to like things simply because no-one else likes them and at the same time we can imply that we see something in it that everyone else is too stupid to" school of shouldered chips. :von:
