1st test of the ashes has just been drawn and i have ashes brain, like baby brain but caused by TMS (test match special) not a baby.

anyone else into cricket?

Anyone following the Ashes?

any Aussies with knives sharped for Punters hide?


and for any americans, Cricket is the greatest sport known to man, it is the only sport that can go on for 25 days across a series to reach a draw, it is the only sport where the player stop for a tea break, and its the only sport where they stop for pie. The Ashes is the name of the test series (a series of 5, 5day games) when England play Australia. This time the series is in australia so im having to deal with the time difference.

As an Australian, I don't really care about cricket.

[lordcooper]

It is civilized.

And I am rather troubled that the Aussies do not have a chance this time around.

I've already got £250 bet on England down at Ladbrokes.

sorry hockey is my only sport, no time for "tea breaks" and most contact sport (they get into fights) other than rugby.

Don't involve football into this sissyfest cause the fans duke it out which makes it funny.

hockey ... most contact sport (they get into fights) other than rugby.

I don't think boxers would agree with that assessment.

Hockey is Soccer on Ice.

nuh uh hockey is really violent and everyone fights

You'd be angry too if the only sport you were good at was Soccer on Ice.

you don't get chain reactions though.

Too bad Cricket isn't more extreme. I'd love to see guys hork up tea and pie on the field if they were really working for it.

You try having a hard ass ball launched towards you at 90+mph.

I'd run the hell away, myself.

the famed Avs vs. Redwings '97 fight : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOCXfu_mWyY&feature=related

Claude Lemieux earlier in the series Checked Draper in the face. The hit forced Draper face first into the dasher (the top edge of the boards), causing him to suffer a broken jaw, broken nose, broken cheekbone, and a concussion. well this was payback.

note Patrick Roy. his ass got beaten twice by red wings goaltenders through out his history (would have been 3 but Hasek tripped over some rough ice and tripped Roy in the process).

Hey, I apologize to anyone who may have been offended by my typo of 'flag' to 'fag'. It was unintentional, but I should have fixed it when it was pointed out rather than laugh it off.

As you can see, the post was deleted and I've been Warned about it by the big guy, so I just wanted to pop in and leave this.

[de5me7]

no offense taken by me. The Toady (may he liveth forever) is just and fair.

cricket isnt really a blood sport

[lordcooper]

I'm still not sure why they let Malinga do his thing.

the lankans seem to favour bowlers with semi legal actions

[Tsarwash]

Of course I hope that England win, if only to annoy the type of Australians who care about winning the Ashes above all other things. I don't really care that much beyond that point myself.
