    Oh dear. This means we'll all have to endure an avalanche of cricket posts in the lounge for the next three thousand weeks. :sigh:

          Oooo! OOoo! Me! Love it. Did you see the Zimbabwe - Ireland game? That was a fantastic match!


          Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

          Oh man that was great. A draw is rare enough but the tumble at the end was just thrilling.

                  How can you hate a sport? Dislike sure, find uninteresting, yes, but hate? I find soccer to be dull and uninteresting but I don't hate it.

                      The most interesting about Cricket seems to be it's tea times and the length of the game. But I must say I've never seen a cricket game. When we see a glimt on tv in sweden it's usually because some kind of animal has occupied the court. :) 1: Football (soccer), 2: Football (soccer), 3: perhaps Volleyball

                        Ok, hate was a bit too harsh, just trying to emphasize my point and for football, yes I share the same opinion as yourself.

                              No, the same! I used to play ice hockey and other ice sports too a long time ago but football is really it.

                                Did you get to see it? I know Ireland was playing but I though they had laws against cricket over there :-D That match is probably going to be one of the top matches this World cup. It's only the 3rd time there was a draw (the other two being our two mess-ups) in World cup cricket. Heart stopping stuff, go Ireland!


                                Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

                                    Cricket's not for me, I'd much rather watch Rugby Union.

                                      The good things about cricket: - it seems to be a real funny sport, whose games can last more than a day. - it made me discover some countries I did even know the existence (indeed, cricket thread always start with "Have you seen the game Swafilia vs. Guandogonlia yesterday ? Awesome !) The bad thing about cricket is : - Lounge threads about cricket are, with those from Link2006, the only threads for which I cannot even start to understand the single word about. - Threads about crickets often tend after a few posts to finish in Swafilian or Guandogonlian, which makes it even harder to start and understand what they are bout. So I am definitely a great fan of cricket, especially in the lounge :-D

                                          It's six weeks. :-D


                                          Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

                                          Yes.. and multiplied by the cricket factor, it amounts to three thousand weeks!
