The Aussies are going to win the World series... ;) :D

The last time I played cricket I broke a window, and the last time I watched it I went temporarily insane. Not really my game I guess. Oh well, for you Yorick:

<font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000080" size="+4">GO AUSSIES!</font>

That's a bug...right? One that chirps...

can anyone explain the rules to me please?

No. That's one of the great mysteries of the world, like Jimmy Hoffa and the Bermuda Triangle. ;)

No way dude, the Giants are going to win the worldseries...tonight. :D

What's cricket? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Cricket is a game where grown men "act" as if in labour and score points for giving the most believable performance, as demonstrated in this picture...

And yep, Aussie is gonna win [img]smile.gif[/img]

hehe last time I played cricket was when it got banned from our school because the ball hit a teacher and gave her concussion and made her faint a few times over the next few days. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

good explanation folks [img]tongue.gif[/img]

All you need to know is that it's the greatest game in the world.....and that the Aussies are by far the best at it. :D

Is cricket another one of those games the english invented that everyone beats them at?

I love cricket, its one of the best games hehe, sorry not many people share my passion for cricket over here, now that you've mention let me see. With the Pakistanis out of the game for good that leaves us with four main teams i.e Australia, Srilanka, South Africa and India. South Africa is the weakest so lets forget them too. The real competition is gonna be between the Aussies and Lankans, the Indians can probably "blackmail" the ICC to reach the finals maybe, or some thing or the other cause the ICC IS now in India's pocket since that's the team generating the most revenue ......

If you are serious then i can probably give you some links 'cause there are too many rules.

Close - so very close - but no cigar. Your use of the word "everyone" implies that both Kenya and Bangladesh can beat Emgland - this is just not true - is it fellas ;)

To cricket: The best cure for insomnia ever created. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Yet another one of those games you mean? :D

Look for OZ to go unbeaten in this series. After the first couple of floggings look for the doctors' certificates to start coming out like they did last year. :D :D

I usre hope Australia wins a lot of tosses and bats first - otherwise there could be some very short test matches. I really can't see this tour breaking even from a financial standpoint.

Oooh, 2250 posts - am I a gold dragon yet?

We, the collective find that the entity known as "English cricket team" is of insufficient talent and standard - we therefore declare that we will MOT be attempting its' assimilation into the matrix.

That is all - have a nice day ;)

Collective! Long time, no hear. Still plotting from the table of doom huh? :D
