The big one starts this Thursday - the last Test match of the summer. I've got a ticket for saturday, so looking forward to that.

How will KP-less England fare? They have to win to retain their No. 1 status, but will go into the game as underdogs.
I think they may well go into the game with 5 bowlers, however, they need to score the runs too. likely Swann will come back instead of KP.

Can only see an SA win myself.
 
Dervite signs. Signed a one year contract - never been a fan of these deals but it does protect the club and I assume he has been bought in to be back up rather than start.

EDIT: Whoops - wrong thread. But to make it cricket related, I think KP, whilst making mistakes, has been treated appallingly from the ECB <cheers>
 
Very uncomfortable watching today - outplayed and out-thought.

Nice warm welcome for KP today - I don't think I've ever heard a player booed walking to the wicket before - dashed ungentlemanly, old boy, doncha know...<laugh>

What a crowd pleaser though, out first ball.
 
I’m fond of a bit of cricket over the summer.

Particularly with refreshments <cheers>

What is cricket ?

Has its roots in the excessive gambling compulsions of the 18th Century Aristocracy I believe. Much akin to horse racing.

Association Football is a game for salt-of-the-earth working folk.
Nothing to do with gambling. Everything to do with temperance, community and local pride.

One reason I don't like the way betting has swamped the football scene in recent years.

Ah, that makes sense now then. I definitely don’t come from aristocracy, but salt-of-the-earth I can relate to.
