Yeah, i think the one day cricket matches are pretty well sorted though, i can't watch test cricket, unless i am reading a book and watching out of the corner of my eye. I tend to keep a check of the score online and then watch the highlights afterwards.

Not the crotch-rubbing, I'm sure.
It is strange that this has been elevated to a sport in countries like Pakistan.

What are you talking about Mr. Arildno? Cricket is life in countries like Pakistan and India. It is basically the de facto national sport in most of the countries under previous British control. As the Duke of Dorchester said, "what is human life but a game of cricket?"

I played cricket for the first time in about 5 years yesterday. I'm still rubbish, and a cricket ball square in the chest still hurts.

The best thing about this is that the england team didnt expect to win this year but next winter over in australia, fingers crossed they can keep the good form going and we could see a 5 nil whitewash over on their own turf.
