Why Cricket? Why not eggchasing, basketball, icehockey etc etc

[Mawsley]

You've obviously not tried watching baseball.

Watching all the major league stars coming to play in Venezuela during their season breaks was a **** sight more entertaining than the wankrags served up in football stadiums up and down this piss-pot country. It was the last time I enjoyed going to a sporting event simply for the sport.

Rugby is shit, football is shit and cricket has become shit now that it's OK to act like a **** at the wicket instead of a gentleman.

Tennis has always been shit and for women, rounders is for children and women while anything involving water is for gay people, Tories, gay Tories and shit.

Golf is bollocks unless you are playing it at a public course, cycling is only acceptable if you are wearing a T-shirt and holding up traffic and the only thing which rivals athletics for utter, utter pointlessness is Formula 1...both of which are shit, run by ****s and watched by the massed ranks of the lobotomised.

The only people more stupid than boxers are those who pay for tickets to see it, both of whom would be more suited to a life stealing lead and living in caravans. Horses are owned by ****s, put into competitions by ****s, ridden by ****s and watched by ****s. Nothing is duller than horse racing on the radio - except snooker, which is the most boring ****ing "sport" in the world.

Darts? Fat ****s being watched by even fatter, thicker ****s. Anything involving dance and/or gymnastics? Boring ****s being watched by paedophiles.

Sport which is decent: all motorbike racing including speedway, hockey, ice hockey, curling, baseball and skiing. Oh, and women's beach volleyball - but that's not a sport because it's just 3D porn.

That's all very well, but what's your view on men's rythmic gymnastics?

Blaarev the game of cricket explained



You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

Simple

The last sentence covered that.

Simple

I'm out!

I'll happily watch most sports, although I need to have something else to do when watching any sport that is not continuous open play, like cricket.

Yeah, but cricket is hardly a sport though, is it

Strange that baseball was such a draw, in the US lots of people arrive in the 2nd or 3rd, spend the next few innings filling their faces then leave in the 7th, the game is more of a social than an exciting sport, we always take a game in when in the US but it's hardly excitement central.

Every American I worked and went to games with said how much they wished games at home were more like those in Ven plus how much it reminded them of games in days gone by. I guess it's a bit like how football is here now and how it used to be.

I have been given tickets to the cricket at Grace Road in a couple of weeks - the same day as the LCFC v Leeds game I think.
I have never been to a cricket match before and understand it about as much as Blaarev does, so can't decide whether to go or pass on the tickets.

If you go and watch LCCC you'll be lucky to see any cricket, they've had a couple of good games in the last few T20's but otherwise seem to have given up on playing the game. The biggest draw at yesterdays game (where they did play well) seemed to be Andy King and Waghorn, they were mobbed when they arrived.

as was Chris Wood when he tried to leave

Funny that King and Waghorn didn't meet up with Wood in the ground, could start rumours of splits within the squad

Swiftly covered up by King taking offence that Wood went to dinner without him. Lolz.
