What a finish.... Missed it but proper test match cricket there. 5 days and comes down to the last ball!
 
"There could be a massive collapse. As we all know, cricket is a funny old game, but it would have to be epic"

It was. What a ****ing finish. Yes Tobes, you bitter BS. Cricket is so boring <doh>
 
I can resist on any subject but cricket. It really pisses me off <grr>

No, I'd have never guessed.........

<laugh>

As it is, I was half joking, I find test cricket (barring the Ashes) largely for the purist, but to those with a passing interest in the game, it's tedious to follow across 5 days.
 
People if low intellect and short attention spans are the ones that don't get test cricket <ok>

what about those that do, but find it boring to follow for 5 days?

reason why 20/20 and one dayers etc have got cricket back on the map. like already said test cricket is for the purist or for people with nothing better to do (ie old normally), where as 20/20 and one dayers are what they are, over in a day and normally good cricket and beer flowing.
 
in short... it is patently obvious that 20/20 and even one day is "santised" where basically the ball is tossed in a very narrow region to enable scoring. its not bowling.

test cricket is a far higher level of skill both bowling and batting... IMO.

sure you can have a LONG time between wickets and many maidens and such but equally there's 40 wickets to be taken in 5 days.

I actually have eached the poitn where 20/20 and test are more relevant than 50 over game...
 
as long as its not basebell. that would require me asking for a 24 hour ban as RHC will go mad.

in general hotter women play rounders?

well may as well play tennis at this point cos far hotter women play tennis.

Baseball? God no! I was obviously just taking the piss though. Tennis is the better sport to watch for the reason you suggested <laugh>
