How many cricket fans here ?

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:

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.

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.

I was happy with either team winning (having lived in both countries) but a draw was pretty weird.

Cricket must be an acquired taste, something you had to grow up with. From my perspective here in Canada, cricket is just about the most incomprehensible sport in the world. From watching brief clips of it on BBC world news (which one must assume are the exciting bits) I am bored instantly. I'm sure I would feel differently if I watched it live in a stadium with friends in India or England or Australia or wherever, but I'd rather watch just about anything else (except golf). Ice Hockey is where it's at in this country and we are nearing the playoffs and my team is in, so I fully understand everyone's excitement here over cricket, I just don't get the sport at all.:)

I guess so. And I guess it helps if you've actually played the game.

If there's one sport I actively avoid watching, that's golf :)
