Who gives a toss? You do my friend!

 

Why else would you start a thread on the most boring game in the world?

Fair point, but that does not justify England winning the Ashes as being the lead item on the BBC (EBC) news at 635pm tonight!

That story was ahead of Megrahi fall out, fires in Athens, and Rangers winning at Tynecastle courtesy of a last minute controversial penalty!

That is ridiculous, I agree. Especially in the last example. :smiley2:

Cricket is for poofs.

 

Here's a good party game: go and tell Ricky Ponting he's a poof.

 

I would like to see what happens if a footballer got a football in the mouth at top speed from five yards. Mr Ponting got a cricket ball right there, spat out some blood and carried on.

England winning The Ashes is like the Wee Team winning anything.

 

It is such a rare event that the parties go on for days and it makes front page on all the papers.

Sounds like a man who's bowled many a jaffa!

got to say, i don't like cricket and i also know nothing about it. you've got to hand it to the english though, whilst they're much better than us at the game they're pretty shoit at the best of times but they keep on trying and now and again they get a result.

 

they're very good losers and winners in this game too. apparently the last time they won the ashes, rather than gloat and stick up the opposition they opted instead to subtly release special commemorative "ashes" stamps to the exact price it costs to send a standard letter to oz

Is being really good at cricket that much of a badge of honour though?

 

I mean only about 5 countries in the entire world are actually any good whatsoever. Kinda seems to me like the Yanks boasting that they're the best in the world at baseball.

I believe the urn was in fact a one-off gift to Australia after their first series win and is NOT the trophy.

 

I'm sure the trophy proper is a glass cup or something which is quite new to proceedings.

 

I'm also sure that Shaun will be along in a second to tell me I'm totally wrong!

I don't like the spitting in baseball.

 

I don't know what the hell it is they chew in their mouths but it's like they're gobbing out the last brown catarrh of a bad lung infection.

Baseball is

and other central American countries.

Not any more.

Dip was banned because of the health risks, but I think a few coaches and players still do.

The proper urn (much bigger than the one posted earlier) is within a cabinet at Lord's. The only time it has left the country was when Prince Charles took it to Australia as part of the bi-centennial celebration of that nation 21 years ago.

Who gives a feck? It's a 50/50 chance fo winning. Hardly a competition to decide who is the best in the world.

However, I fear a complete biatch slapping at the MCG on Boxing Day next year!

Nobody said it was, that's in the winter Vs South Africa.

Can never understand the hype it gets; it's as inclusive as the Boat Race, and about as significant as the bairn next door winning a cream egg at the Sunday school picnic.
