    I like both cricket and golf. Can comfortably watch either. I get free t20 tickets for Durham!

    You've never mentioned that! Though currently Durham can do with every penny they can get...

    I couldn't tell you who were top of the PL in cricket.

    Or even in the PL.

    Or if there was a PL.

    All I know is that cricket sticks are made off willow.

    I don't even know if that's true <laugh>

    I'm mates with the guy inside Chester the lion! I can only really get them for me or the family though so I go to the one dayers and t20 blast games quite a bit

    Now you tell us Marcus!

    The level of disappointment in everyone's voice around you is real!

    You're not imagining It! :emoticon-0121-angry:emoticon-0121-angry:emoticon-0121-angry

    Played through school and into my mid 20's. My little brother was the star out of us and was being coached at Durham in his school days. He was absolutely rapid. If it wasn't for his shoulder he would have had a good chance at making it.

    I love cricket, especially test cricket. Go every year to somewhere, will be off to the The Oval for the third test in a couple of weeks.

    Not often to the Oval but Birmingham is when I'm on holiday and Cardiff only had ICC trophy stuff. I've never seen a 20/20 but I assume it's a good couple of hours out, went to a 50 over one dayer last year at Cardiff, it's not anywhere near as good as the tests but is ok.

    As for golf, best not get me started as I could play it all day then go home to watch it on TV, every day.

    The women's World Cup is pretty good. Saw some brilliant innings by the Indian opening bat and the England wicket keeper and even Pakistan, who are probably the weakest team were giving it a real go in the field.

    Cricket is crap, I'm sorry, But it is, It's too quiet for me and it's boring as well.

    Have you never been to a cricket rave? They're not quiet.

    It's basically the same thing, but the players are all wired and there's acid house blasting out around the stadium.

    What about wizz golf?

    All the players bomb a 10 pound bag of speed and have to do all 18 holes in 30 minutes.

    Supposed to be real good fun.
