The Ashes 2013

[Wezil]

Ok, I tried to read up on this, and have decided that a monkey was picking words at random.


What the heck is a deep midwicket? Is that like deep in the outfield in baseball?

contented exhibition? finding substantial turn?

I've never heard a player called a debutant. Transformational stand? What is an "over"? What the hell is a wicket anyways?


7.3 overs up to tea? Is that good or bad? feather on a leg side flick? Good or bad, I can't tell. An Ibw? Inside edge of what?

It's like an Austin Powers movie.

Cricket, for Americans


Also, Baseball, for the British

Cricket- something I did my very best not to join in with during compulsory sports at school. You could usually find me ostentatiously ignoring the tedium with the assistance of a good book under a bush when I was meant to be fielding, which I readily requeste dto do as far away from the mind-numbing inaction as possible.

They refused to believe I had no interest in cricket when I lived in Australia, assuming it was because I was afraid that England might lose in whatever contest was underway at the time. I knew they were mad about it there when I met an Australian who was born and grew up partly in Italy and who was a fanatic about the game. Gah.

If you Ussians think cricket is weird, take a look at this English game. I'll bet even Bugs doesn't understand it...

[H Tower]

So has the test ended yet? who won?

[Tuberski]

ACK!

[Elok]

"Batsmen" sounds like a word you'd find on the packaging for a knock-off superhero toy in a third-world market. As in "Batsmen and Robon Exciting Laser."

[C0ckney]

australia are 252 for 9, they need another 59 runs to win, england need one more wicket. england should win, but it's going to be a tight finish.

[C0ckney]

wow what a finish!

[Wezil]

Is it tea time now?

[The Mad Monk]

It's always time for tea!

That match just makes me feel sorry for people who don't get cricket. 5 days of wild shifts for one team to the other, with records tumbling and a nail-biting close finish. Test cricket, man.

Note to England- never try facing this Aussie team with just four bowlers again. My heart won't take it.

It's only saving grace in my opinion, is that it isn't golf.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Golf isn't a sport, really. It's a hobby.

I've had people argue with me about how strenuous it is to walk 7-8 miles, but I wasn't convinced.

I do that looking for books or records. It's called the weekend, and I don't have to wear loud or checked trousers. Nor would I....
