1) Turn up with 20+ friends
2) Proceed to sit down and eat crap food
3) Break out the beer
4) Enjoy a day in the sun with your friends and getting utterly wasted
5) Occasionally something in the field will happen to give you a chance to jump up and down screaming drunkenly and stretching your legs
6) It doesn't matter too much at the end of the day who wins..

Spot on Asphyxiate. Except we have five days to do it, they only have one http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

On the plus side, the Ashes tour will be a dream after this http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

Also our batsmen can hit the ball out of the park two or three time in a row. Their batters have a hit and then they're home. Brrrring.
Our batsmen can be batting all day. (As bloody Laxman proved.)
Also our bowlers use the subtleties of ground spin and deviation AS WELL as using the air like pitchers.
Plus, as you stated Memnoch the drama is indeed played out over 5 days. Think of the analysis and media articles (read dollars) one match brings in.

The best thing is you can walk away from the cricket for an hour and not really miss anything. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif (j/k)

You can keep dreaming Memnoch. It's Tea in Colombo, Sri Lanka are 71/7, a lead of 63. The fat lady is gargling.

Won't that Victorian team be a bit old http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif, If you don't want to be embarrassed perhaps you better send the first team.

81 all out. 73 needed to win.

Hmm. Shame you guys won't get some much-needed batting practice, you'll be needing it against McGrath, Gillespie and Brett Lee. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

I've been following on the net Donut. Singaporeans don't seem to follow cricket, so the T.V. is a desert for me. (That I've found anyway)

Hi there! How's the weather in TX?
ROTFL! About as much chance as me learning to play cricket...snicker snicker...

Hey Cloudbringer. The weather, The wind was bad the other day. Jucuzzi top flew to neighbors yard after the snaps broke. The temerature dropped back down to about 35 degrees at nights. Forecast for today is... http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif
I'm more of a Hockey/Baseball intermidiate watcher. I like going to the games. I only watch the Supper Bowl for the commercials. As for learning cricket HAH!
Rugby is right up North and I only found out what that was a couple of years ago. Not a huge sports fan.

Wow, cold down there in TX! I would have thought you'd have a warmer time than we do up here in the frozen north!
