Been watching bits and pieces over the weekend, and bit that stands out most was watching Croetzer catch the ball on Sat.

Great catch

Marginally more bearable than normal cricket, but still a country mile away from my idea of entertainment. That said I did go to Taunton to watch them play against Gloucester, but only because I was badgered by a bunch of guys from work and they mentioned something about lots of beer...

Well I've always liked the Dutch...!

(Just a bit of a ribbing!)

Hope Ireland can keep going; people don't always realise how much it is played over there.

I love cricket.

sorry

I even prefer the long form of the game, test matches. In fact I think it's time we went back to the "timeless test" format where the game takes as long as it takes for four complete innings. England once had to abandon a test match in Austrailia because they had to get the boat home.

If you don't like cricket it's probably because you've never got close enough to understand the sublties of the game. How many times has someone said to you that F1 is just "cars going round and round"?

Twenty20 is popular because most people these days have the attention span of a goldfish

Cheers

Heathens the lot of you

To be fair, it's not exactly a sport you can just pick up and watch straight away, you need to have some idea of what you're looking at to really appreciate the ebb and flow of test cricket. But once you've got the hang of it it suddenly becomes a hell of a lot more involved and believe it or not, exciting.

And besides, it's a very good excuse to sit in the sun for a few days and get trolleyed
