Post your thoughts here on the upcoming titanic struggle between the current world powerhouse and the upstart colonials!

Terry - have you seen the description of cricket (usually on a tea towel) of the game "when you are out you go in and when you are in you get out..."

We may need this for our American friends when it comes to "overs", "googlies" and "middle wickets"

Cheers, Steve

OK - found it on the web...

The Rules of Cricket
as Explained to a foreign visitor

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in, goes out, and when he's out, he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When both sides have been in and out including the not-outs, that's the end of the game.

Howzat?

Sounds like Bens on the drugs again or to much beer.

Mark M · « **Reply #8 on:** July 01, 2005, 01:15:34 am »

Very odd, the antipideans dont seem to be biteing.

Scared of getting caught by those Googlies I guess.

By the way can you explain again how the game ends - I've still not worked out how to stay awake long enough to see that bit.

Sunshine and beer - good recipe for missing the end.

No need to bite guys. We just sit back and watch. Googlies, flippers, leg-byes, no balls (ouch), silly mid off, deep gully, deep fine leg - damn, sounds like a flesh festival. Take more than a few snide remarks about our cricketing prowess to get us upset.

That's probably their response to a "fast moving" no-hitter here in the U.S.

Actually, that's MY response to a fast moving no-hitter here in the U.S.

I have to admit guys - I have never watched a live cricket match.

I have watched a live baseball match (Montreal) and uncountable real football matches.

So there we have it, a Brit who'se never been to a cricket match...

I do watch 'em on TV though (does that count?)

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2005, 03:49:34 pm »

Went to one at Old Trafford last year Steve. When we got there it was doing what it useualy dose in Manchester Pis---G down, so we went in Witherspoons and got rat legged for £1 a pint. What a cricket match!

Damn! I really hate when I dose off in front of the computer and drool into the keyboard.

As a objective Kiwi, I have only one word to say on the matter - 'Bangladesh'

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #17 on:** July 03, 2005, 05:57:48 pm »

Well I know I'm a bit late, but I tend to look at the tech forum more than anywhere else, so my apologies Steve, Cricket is a game that we inherited from Britain, but have since mastered and of course for many years we have had the greatest cricket team in the world, bar none. Lucky Soccer is strictly for Homosexuals mate, or else we'd be into that toilet of a game as well, ha ha!

Hey "Sheep Shagger" Andy, is that your bike in your avatar? That engine looks bloody beautiful mate, how about a pic of the rest of it? Cheers, Terry.

750deepsouth · « **Reply #18 on:** July 03, 2005, 08:22:03 pm »

Yup it is, sometime I'll get around to putting a pic in the gallery.

Ps - actually, visit my website, save me posting pics.

Sheep shagger ? actually, I married an Australian - how cruel to your women you are Terry.

Brookesy · « **Reply #19 on:** July 04, 2005, 01:15:17 am »

Cricket?
What the!
I never could get into it - any game where the grass needs to be mowed DURING the match is not for me
who said i have a short attention span?

I guess everyone is enjoying the 4th of July over there
make the most of it.

Cricket... what next - Lawn Bowls?

(just taking the p*ss guys)

Hey nice site mate, I've included it in my favourites. Good retort too, Bugger! Give me a couple of days and I'll come back with a witty reply, ha ha! Hmmnnn, lemme think............. er, I'll get back to you! Cheers, Terry.

A cricket is a bug! Anyone playing with a cricket is just plain odd.

Not very often Terrys stuck for words.

Hey Terry,

Just watching the Ausie Homosexuals playing Germany on TV, and for a load of puffs they arn't playing to bad. 2-2 at half time.

So if Andy is as good at sheep shaging as your puffs are at footy he could do it for NZ.
