Re: CRICKET
Only the cricketing gods know what is going on with Australia at the moment. They are trying to rebuild but don't seem to have the players coming through. South Africa themselves have been below par for a long time.
But either way it makes for some surprising scores and out comes to the test matches!!!

Re: CRICKET
well i could rant on about the poms in the Ashes series using collingwood to polish the varnish off one side of the ball so that the smooth side becomes the rough side and the rough side (which still has varnish on it) becomes the smooth side to achieve reverse swing 20 overs in but I wontComment

Re: CRICKET
I usually enjoy going to the first test of the season at the Gabba but after a run in with the security goons at the Ashes last year I'm going to give it a miss and stay at home in comfort with the fridge close to hand and watch it on the telly. I always turn the sound off and listen to the ABC commentary on the radio 'cos I cant stand Richie Benauds whining!
All right, now to throw the cat amongst the pidgeons.
Isn't it about time Punter retired before he gets sacked and I don't think Pup has what it takes to be captain. Any suggestions who to take over? Katitch?At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.Comment

I'm glad I didnt go to the Gabba now, I thought the Kiwis would have put up a better fight then that. C'mon Kiwis, you can do better then that!At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.Comment

Re: CRICKET
Cricket? Boy when one gets in your house, it sure is hard to find. Quits chirping when you get close. This is a thread about insects isn't it, I didn't read the other post.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen HawkingComment

Re: CRICKET
Oh dear, Fixthecopier, if you want drag yourself out of your cultural isolation and join the rest of the civilised world in the appreciation of the greatest game ever played I suggest you aquaint yourself with some of the rules. Here is some to start with.
Cricket: As explained to a foreigner...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
