    Does anyone here like cricket?

    Well it seems to be a sport that the majority either think is boring, pointless, snobbish, crap or indeed all of the above...

    I however think quite the opposite. Love the facker and what with Sky sports new to my house I'm looking forward to sealing up a series win in south africa from my armchair come thursday...

    Am I alone here or are there any other Old skool heads out there that not only like the sound of Easygroove on doves but also the sound of leather on willow?

    Boring as hell! I'd rather watch paint dry

    Ha ha! I can't say you all surprise me! It's definitely a Marmite thing (which incidentally I also love!). Cricket, Girls. Booze and Music pretty much sums me up though I have vastly varying abilities with each

    Hang on, Im an Artist by day so watching paint dry is also something I do regularly... Is this a coincidence?

    Re: Does anyone here like cricket?

    Good stuff, I got nets tomorrow as it goes (I bowl) and Haze, you're spot on. TMS is so much better than the commentary on Sky. I tried having the sound from TMS with the volume down on the T.V. But its not synced still it'll be good to watch though I imagine I'll still tune in to Aggers, vic Marks CMJ etc during the match.

    as does the paint!

    Yeah, can't say Golf excites me much or snooker and football gets too aggy for me. at least in cricket you can complement the opposition without it seeming like a huge betrayal!

    Tennis is boring & Snooker sometimes can be boring depending on who's playing.

    Can't say I'm a huge fan but I have been to a few 20-20 games & also a couple of county vs country games...... it always seems to end up being a full day & evening of drunken hilarity!!

    Re: Does anyone here like cricket?

    I admit that is some of the attraction! Been to see England vs India, Pakistan and South Afrika (which are not only boozy but very funny too, though against Pakistan it was a little less rowdy on account that none of the supporters Drink!

    Saying that they do go nuts over cricket so there's still loadsa good humoured piss taking. South Africans and Aussies are the best for that though. Everyone just ends up blind drunk!

    I like the cricket but prefer the one dayers and 20/20 games to Tests. Will watch all formats though.

    I like a 20/20 game between 2 good teams. It can be quite exciting & it's over in about 3hrs !
