    For those who don't know... The English simply can't play cricket. They can't do it. They don't know how. It's like the French and decent food. It just doesn't happen. Yet somehow, after being whipped and beaten all over every cricket pitch in the Commonwealth for ages, they've somehow managed to produce some miraculous play in this one test match.

    Congratulations England.

    The last time I played cricket, every ball I hit for about half an hour was a 4 or a 6. This was in a practice game. Then the bowlers were simply sick of chasing their balls everywhere and asked me to block instead. Then I was out straight away. :/

    "It's like the French and decent food."

    Have you been to France??? That was probably one of the best places I've ever been foodwise. Especially the small towns.

    See... conditions like this show the clear difference between sports and games. Cricket is a really complicated game, not sport, but a game. Football is a sport, American Rules football is sport, Australian Rules football and Rugby is a sport.

    wrong, italian food is first. I come from an italian family and my dads home italian cooking, mmmm..nothing like it.

    Isn't Cricket kind of like Bocce Ball?

    Why would anybody want to play such a vulgar, offensive game? :bugeye:
