I would like to see Flood wrestling…

(Yes, you know what I’m going to say…)

With his sanity once in a while!

Well, I do worry! – Nermal

Mate of mine had one… Very upsetting that, for a German car, it kept breaking down. He hates his BMW now…

Cricket? How much fun can a sport be when it’s called after the insect-friend of Pinoccio.

I do like to play it sometimes though. I don’t know anything about it, but it looks like some silly invent-the-rules-while-you-play game anyway. As long as you don’t throw the ball or hit with the bat which can only be done when all of the audience is asleep.

I think he’s talking to you. I [U]hope[/U] he’s talking to you…

Flood has many names – but that isn’t one of them (unless Anna bestows it upon me!)

Cricket, Cricket, lovely Cricket…………………….luv the game, its not boring at all…………………OK, bollockbrains?

ps/ cant stand golf!

And a chance to sink your balls.

Hmmm, maybe but I lost one of mine in the windmill…

The bloke wouldn’t believe it went in but wouldn’t come out.

Flood.

Can’t say ****e. Golf is a waste of a good walk.

Mind you, at least you get a pint. And a chance to sink your balls.

GOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a complete load of ****e

And if anybody asks him about golf…

Flood.

Haha. Bollockhead. Thats great!

Please don’t come and explain, they would make no sense and bore me to death anyway. A game that last’s 3 days? You can fight a war in less! Besides, Cricket hooligans are pansies – I ain’t scared of you!

And we should never have taught the natives to play. Bloody colonies beating us now is just not cricket old boy!

Look, take your flames over to the AFM forum, will you!
Some of us are trying to sleep!

Flood.

Great forum, it won’t allow you to type the shortened version of the name Richard, but you can type the word bollockhead with no problem :confused:

BOLLOCKHEAD

I wish I’d though of that one. Damn:mad:

Snapper,
Until now I had taken you as a reasonable, if slightly off the wall,sort of bloke. I know that you live on land that was reclaimed from the north sea so I can understand a little insecurity but to publicly attack, nay slate, the finest game known to man is nothing short of blasphemy.
You sir are a complete bollockhead!.
So there, its off my chest and I’m OK with it.
I’ll come teach you the rules if need be.
Phil

It leaves me stumped. Load of balls.

Cricket is crap. It’s too long, the clothes suck, it’s boring and makes no sense. My favourite is the woman with the hot-dog stand.

Cricket is fun, especially if you play it with live hand granades on a mine field, it would certainly speed things up a bit, it would also sort out the AFM flames, what ever they are !!!!

They wear white, but sometimes they wear different colours… Er, one man throws the ball to another man who tries to hit it with, um, a bat I think – not a real bat but made out of wood – to defend his stumps from being inadvertantly hit by the ball – which is made from leather(?) and knocked over. The man who is the target of the ball made of leather has a cricketers protection positioned so as to assist him when he decides he wishs to continue his branch of the species, and it is this that usually attracts the females at first – until they retire disappointed. There is a player called a silly mid -off or something, but I believe he doesn’t have any teeth. There is also something which is supposed to be quite funny about the man who is trying to hit the ball being in, except when he is out. Er, this sounded better when I ran it through my mind (quickly, in case it got distracted…).
My memory draws out something about sanitary towels from an event that happened in the 1930s when the players were apparently to be seen roller skating and walking dogs in their tight white trousers.
Cricket is apparently famous for the art of sportsmen polishing their balls in public, and commentators who sound like they have fallen asleep in mid…

Flood.

I kinda agree with Snapper. However I should shut up , I don’t know a dam about this game.
I remember staying in an hotel next to Bracknell once and I watched a couple of hours of this strange game , without being able to get the basic rules.
Quite boring indeed…
