Personally I put it right up there with with watching a reg season game of baseball or watching paint dry. Its a dead heat.

cricket = bollox

Cricket.... sleeping:

One Day-ers are cool, but Tests tend to lose my attention. However, both of them pale in comparison to Australian Rules Football.

Also, spare a thought for a man named David Hookes. He was the coach of Victoria until yesterday, when he died for injuries sustained from some bouncer that beat the shit out of him. Read about it here: [url:71248]http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/01/19/1074360692356.html[/url:71248]

Haven't watched a whole lot of cricket and don't quite understand the scoring system, but it looks like a blast to play.

I had to play cricket all through summer at school, we even got to wear those whites & jumpers with the stripes & funny hats rock: kinda like this; [img]http://www.magdalen.oxon.sch.uk/juniors/images/cricket.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.dover-college.kent.sch.uk/images/cricket.jpg[/img] I love those dumb uniforms cool:

You'd be suprised how dangerous a game of cricket is. A heavy wooden ball going at speeds of up to 200 KM/h!

Field hockey is even worse, I remember a fat kid got hit square in the balls by one of those hard leather mofos. & he didn't have a box.

yah but not many bowlers can reach that speed. that one guy on pakistan though...

never played it before

I love cricket, used to play it with my school in jamaica, and private school in canada has a team also.

Shoaib Akthar?
That guys a fucking wanker - He was bowling deliberate fouls at one of our batsmen, at the head - he did it like 6 times in a row. Usually its done as a terrorising technique like once or twice, but he did it like 6 times and they were all at HIS full speed.

Ja, but still, most professional bowlers can at least get up to 175 Km's.
