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

I don't cricket no!, I hate it! :)

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

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.

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:

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

What a game? I wanted Ireland to win, but a tie is also not bad.
