Some people are never satisfied! When we lost every match that wasn't saved by rain, they moaned. Now we're winning regularly, and they moan.

Not shite, in fact I think it's a great game, but I must admit to finding it difficult to get enthusiastic about this England v W Indies series. I was quite hopeful yesterday after both of our openers went cheaply as I thought there was a chance of a good close finish with England winning of course but it wasn't to be. I think the last chance of excitement for me went just after tea when a slip catch was dropped.

Still, I think the W Indies did play better in this test and I'd like to think it is a sign that maybe they will pick up again. Maybe I'm just nostalgic but it does seem to be a shame to see them reduced to a mere shadow of what they once were.

Don't worry Steve, it'll never be big in the USA. They don't have enough people with the required level of intelligence to be able to understand it, or with enough brain cells to be able to concentrate for long enough - thirty seconds is a lifetime to those guys. ROFL!

Shite? Only if you are a West Indies fan! Could this thread have been started because England is doing rather well at the moment? Sour grapes taste very nasty...

They have cricket in the US now. It's pretty small-scale, but it's growing in popularity. While this may be a Good Thing, it's also rather worrying. What if it really takes off? Kerry Packer's excesses could pale into insignificance if the Yankee money machine gets involved! Imagine the Cricket World Series: Canada vs the US! I think this needs watching very carefully.

As a famous American once said, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Don't play it myself, but it seems quite gentlemanly and civilised, not arguing with the umpire, and not getting excited.
I save my passion for elsewhere, not games, and certainly not games that I'm not playing.

if you ask me, YES IT IS.

if you ask me, a load of men standing around rubbing balls on their..... balls, and throwing them at the batty mans wood.

and it goes on for hours and is on a good channel like bbc2 or bbc1, and then takes away all the programmes on that day.

and also = load of men wearing white and running after each others balls and boring and a load of crap

SHITE
