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.

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 , If you don't want to be embarrassed perhaps you better send the first team. ------------------ The Truth is in the Profile |

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)

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!
