My wasted life ....

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.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but www.mousebreaker.com has a maddeningly addictive cricket game.

Not one for the flannelled purist, but when there's work to be done this can eat a whole morning.

Currently unable to beat Pakistan, which is a tad frustrating.

You'll find it under new games on the menu page - it's called Stick Cricket.

@ ED - Panda. That's what it said at the top when I logged in.

Oh, forgot to duck when the fast bowler gave me a bouncer. Carnage at the crease ...

Finally got past Pakistan, thanks to an unbeaten 78 from Paul Collingwood. New Zealand next.

Pleased to see it's not just my life being wasted, though.

The Kiwis are even tougher. They've got a spinner! Not fair! I finally took him for 26 in one over, then lost 4 wickets to the paceman coz I was overexcited.

@ Ed: Zimbabwe kept me stuck for a while. You'll get there.

I can't get past the Windies. I've got closer and closer and just tied two consecuetive games. Which means I've 'lost' ... :urff:

Fcuk! I still can't spell ... :roll:
