I don't like cricket I love it.........
Especially when England is all out on the first day of an Ashes Test Match for 260...
I'm beginning to wish I cared about rugby instead

I care about rugby.... we are just fine tuning for the world cup... ;-)
The bad thing is if we win we will have to keep Ponting on as captain.... Punter is a first class knob and Australian Cricket would be much better off without him.

I always assumed you just kept him as captain to give us a chance

After they walked through all of the warm-up matches the press over here have been assuming that we'll walk it.
Which is just daft.I'm ignoring the cricket as I brace myself for Wales v. New Zealand on Saturday. I'm expecting a massacre.

There was a fare bit of pre-match sledging going on.... Because I dislike Ponting so much I normally support the Westindi's hopping for the modern equivalents of Joel Garner or Viv Richards to arise and make cricket vibrant again.

Good luck..... I hope Wales wins over the Kiwi's.

He is a graceless, charmless bogan whose poor captaincy became apparent when McGrath, Warne etc retired.

Very true.
You can hope all you like, but it's not going to happen! :pGood luck..... I hope Wales wins over the Kiwi's.

Yeh I know... In Rugby I support anybody who is playing against New Zealand and in Cricket while Ponting is captain I support anybody who is playing against Australia - except when Australia plays England....
I have zero interest in cricket and rugby, but atleast they are a little more interesting than football (which in turn is vastly more interesting than those pretend american sports)

I especially like the World Series events where only US teams enter...
I thought Rugby was homo-erotica, that can't really be a sport surely?

As someone who has played rugby regularly since the age of 9 I would like to hear you explain your second statement?
I'm also interested in why you said it, as well as what it means?

Isn't Rugby the sport where beefy men run around wearing figure tight lycra-like material, tight shorts, grappling each other... nuff said.
Dude it was a joke. Please do not take my comments seriously or to heart, however I do have a gay friend that loves watching Rugby for that precise reason.

I think he is confused between Rugby Union and Rugby League. :-)

Ah, right, physical contact between men is gay. Gotcha.
Mike Hussey and Brad Haddin put on a Gabba record stand of 307 as Australia compiled 461 and a first-innings lead of 221 runs on day three of the first Ashes Test.

Lighten up. Anyway, he has a point. When I played rugby at school I was informed that there are two ways to hold someone in a scrum - round the waist and between the legs. For some reason, the rugby master was a great believer in the latter method.
England has to beat the Springboks today. Then we can have our coach fired!

Cool a South African... whats the RPG community like in SA?
I must say that irrespective of the final result, that was very generous of the Australian bowlers to take only one English wicket in the fourth day and to let both the openers each score over a hundred. After Hussey and Haddin's impressive scores it was very gentlemanly of the Australian team to let the English openers have some time out in the middle. :)
for me its win - win, even if we we don't win...
Win = Thrashing the poms is always a joyous occasion.
Lose = 1 step closer to getting rid of Ponting.

*Sudders* Rugby League....why, why would you mention that?
so can someone please explain what this has to do with Buddy Holly?? He was not English.
Buddy Holly was a great medium paceman and was a dab hand with the bat (although his weakness was the hook-shot). He wrote Peggy Sue while on tour with the Scunthorpe 11.
The English cricket team were considering having him and the corpse of WG Grace open for them in the 50's....
The English with their pasty, twisted, sun deprived bodies were no match for those of the hardened sun drenched convicts that they had to face.
There is also the curse that the English are to be bad at any sport that they invent. The actual curse can be found in McBeth "Hubble bubble toil and trouble, wickets fall and goalies fumble"....
Unfortunately the plane crash happened killing Buddy and the cost to animate WG Grace was too much for English Cricket and the plan failed.

Hah. Good game. England managed to avoid losing at Brisbane for the first time in years, there were records broken all over the place by both sides, and there was still time for Ponting to make a quickfire fifty at the end. Who says a draw can't be interesting (at least when TMS are commentating...)? ;)
Lovely stuff, and TMS is a magnificent beast.
Everyone who admires cricket should also have a taste of The Duckworth Lewis Method
Especially good is their song about the ball of the century, written from Gatting's point-of-view. Genius.

Good match, you must be unhappy with Ponting's fifty.

They wont get rid of him mid series..... but yeh I think the realisation is settling in, that he is done for.
Although Clarke hasn't done much to impress me.
Well played England...I am now eating humble pie.

Yep, good day.
You have to keep in mind what Geoffrey Boycott said on the radio this morning: "You never know how good a wicket is until both sides have batted."
If England go for 210 then Australia have a good score. Maybe just take the humble pie out of the freezer so it can start defrosting, but don't eat it yet. :D

On the other hand, NOW might be a good time to be warming up the oven. Tally ho, chaps, show the convicts how this most English of games should be played. But keep the Anmate Dead ready just in case we ned W G Grace to finish them off.

I woke up this day to a score of 297-2.
You could argue that the Aussies managed twice as many wickets as at the Gabba - but I doubt it will cheer them up. The beauty about cricket is - as a statistical minded person you can see it slowly evolve - just for everything to crush down when several wickets fall in quick succession.
I'm German - but living long enough in the UK now to be firmly on the England side.
Too bad it's the middle of night - other vice I would follow it ball by ball.

Hey, we let the Canadian team play in the World Series every once in a while!
Plus, the players are the best (well, in the case of Cubans, the best that could escape if they weren't born here) from everywhere they play baseball. So where the teams are is irrelevant, the baseball world is well represented.
Isn't Cricket that game the English invented and get their asses kicked by the entire world playing?
No no no no no... it's one of a number of games we invented to get our asses kicked at playing
Just don't mention the World Cup 2018 or 2022

Huh? We don't care about that. Seriously, outside of a few of us who just love sports in general (like me), most Americans rank soccer below sticking hot soldering guns in their ears on the "stuff I'd do with a gun stuck to my head" list.
It was just another occasion for Obama to show his irrelevance away from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
