English Cricket...Grumble
Well played you dutch, you deserved to win. Can't believe we stuffed that game, shocking batting and fielding especially. Although good to see the Essex man Ten Doeschate performing well.

I only ever played Cricket once, it ended up me whacking my friend in the face with a bat by accident. Also, is Cricket the game which lasts hours and hours and hours and hours?

Yeah.. abit like American Football.. it really shouldn't take 3 hours to play a 1 hour game..

Re: English Cricket...Grumble
Cricket matches vary in length from 3 hours to five days. It is the best team game ever. And we beat Pakistan today so are garanteed pretty much to progress in the tournamentFullMetal wrote:I only ever played Cricket once, it ended up me whacking my friend in the face with a bat by accident.

Cricket's excellent, and 20-20 is great to watch. Good result against Pakistan, who were badly let down by some poor fielding.

Re: English Cricket...Grumble
there's no better way to spend a week off work then watching a full test series
Re: English Cricket...Grumble
Haha how did you do that Johnimus? Lol I found a game about 2 start today, so went to see what was happening and within 20 mins I was home, changed and fielding! Got a nice 5-fer to for my efforts 
And I'm off to Lords tomorrow, Pakistan v Netherlands and South Africa v New Zealand. Should be a good day!

Re: English Cricket...Grumble
it was a simple case of him being too close to the wickets. I bowled a fast one down and the batsman decided to move, and the keeper didn't see it in time to move.Jonnywhy wrote:Haha how did you do that Johnimus?
