Thread: 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

All of the above for me. I have no real intrest in sport at all, I'll watch Ireland play football and abit of snooker if its on, But i really dont have any other reall intrests other then DJing and music thats what its all about for me just music [music]

This is what i think of cricket. (-| (-| i-)

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?

i bloody love the cricket mate !!! and with sky your sorted

Nope.

Yes Sir! You know that! can't wait till Thursday. got the teabags in, Got the sofa shaped to fit my arse, all good!

love a bit of cricket does i also.

prefer to do my listening to games on radio 4 long way though (i dont have sky)

cant wait till my lad is big enough for a proper knock about

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.

The plot thickens

Love it Better than say that golf lark :ymsigh:

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.

I agree. Kabaddi's fookin good though (seriously! I used to watch it on channel 4 way back when.)

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!!

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!

Love it!! Been all around the world to see England play and had a right laugh

Gwarn the Barmy Army !!!!! :ymparty:

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

I don't mind the 50 over game and 20/20's cool but it has to be test matches for me!

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