Cricket

It's amazing to think, that it's Sunday am around ten to 9.

I'm drinking coffee, and my ass is on the couch surfing the old interweb.

I've bunged the cricket on the tellybox in the background, not paying too much attention, but they did mention something quite interesting..

That Arguably, this could be the most watched sporting event in history with more than a billion people watching India vs Pakistan

As for us limeys, alas we had our asses handed to us by those Aussie blighters the other day 🙂

You make a good point, with cricket being so popular in India and Pakistan, it has more fans worldwide than baseball. 😱

Yet, as far as I know, that match is not available on TV here (in New York City). Given the number of people from India or Pakistan who live here, it must be available on some subscription cable channel, but it is not on basic cable.

Cricket is one sport that I have yet to develop an interest in.

I much preferred playing it.

t-20 is fun, something that doesn't last too long and can ve enjoyed avec beers 🙂

Test cricket is back, a game that lasts 5 days!

The Ashes are coming! Although with England's current form and problems, you'd have to say we have next to no chance of regaining them, even on home turf. 🙁

 

[wolfman40]

Keep the faith Red, we're not doing too badly at present, 120 in front, 10 wickets in hand 🙂

We might be hitting our stride come the Ashes!

Just as I post that Trott goes

err bollocks!

Wolfman, where do you stand on the issue of Kevin Pietersen? Should he be selected for the summer's Test matches if he scores runs in county cricket?

 

[wolfman40]

A very good question.

It depends I guess if Vaughan get the top job of director of cricket.

I certainly pick him if he's on form, the stuffed shirts brigade who run the ECB, will I feel bury there heads in the sand 🙂

As an aside I'm just waiting with baited breathe for Jimmy Anderson to take this poxy wicket!

In the immortal words of Raphael to one Casey Jones:

"CRICKET? NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO PLAY CRICKET! YOU GOTTA KNOW WHAT A CRUMPET IS TO UNDERSTAND CRICKET!"

Now, I realize full well that Raphael then promptly got his shell handed to him by Casey after he said that but that's COMPLETELY BESIDE THE POINT!

<_<...>_>...(slithers off into the darkness)...

Raphael fully deserved his thonging for his lack of cricket knowledge, the wise ass..

He DID get sent FLYING into a TRASH CAN. 😉

Casey Jones doesn't tolerant ANYONE dissing his game apparently. 😀

The fact that TMNT and Cricket are mentioned in the same thread fills my heart with nothing but glee 😀

As long as we keep Michael Bay away from this thread, then I'm full of glee too. 😀

I was in turtle mood last night, watched the cartoon episode where Donatello clones himself 🙂

Anyway the second test is on RIGHT NOW and England have made a decent start
