No seriously, you think it's finally over, and you enjoyed it but noooo, false ending.
Another 30-minutes of same. :-&
But it doesn't have wickets. :C
I fucking love watching cricket. I don't mind watching a bit of golf too, slightly more than snooker certainly. I don't like watching F1 at all. There we go.
Cricket's a brilliant spectator sport. You spend a lot of the time drinking and snacking and appreciating things.
So basically you don't go for the cricket.
I like watching F1, Cricket, Snooker, Darts....
Actually being at an F1 race is great. I definitely enjoyed watching a cricket test match live, though that was at the 2nd attempt since the first one was rained off so I spent the day in Chester-Le-Street which isn't nice. I keep meaning to go and watch some live Darts. All can include drinking so that might be why.
I find this strangely at odds with your derring-do, garley hardcore MTB persona.
See, on the surface it looks like that, but actually the cricket is intrinsic. A day-long duel between a bowler and on-form batsman. The long-form narrative of a five-day Test with all the momentum swings therein. The snacks and the drinks. All vital!
Yeah I'm a complex soul to be sure ;-)
Many of my MTB-riding friends sneer at the idea of watching cricket or golf or playing either of 'em.
Hey, some friends of mine are in New York just now and went to a baseball game last night. Apparently in four hours, a total of two points were scored! Now that's rapid.
How do you cope with the cricket hooligans?
