Cricket...

"I mean, I'm not sensitive about it . . . but if I'm not your friend, if you're an opposition player or something like that, it is unacceptable."

WOW AUSTRALIA'S 2 SHITTY OPENERS OUT -- 2/13

3 DOWN ._.

RIP mr cricket's average in the 80s ;____;

5 OUT FOR FUCK NUTHING ;__;

I HATE MICHAEL CLARKE BTW.

BUT I CAN'T NOT LIKE MR CRICKET

clarke going off the boil again. drop him and put hodge in, damnit!

So we're officially getting shat upon now.

Can someone please tell me why India is not declaring?

oh fuck this, this final day has pissed me right off.

As I see it there are two options for India:

1. Declare, have a slim hope in hell of getting Australia all out before stumps
2. Stay in like fucking twats and force a draw

Streaker beat down

Wait, how does the streaker fit into the rules???

White Sox fans like cricket now?

ha. a spokesman for the International Cricket Council said: "He is not going to be charged because he brought down a spectator who entered the ground." Although section 4.2 of the council's code of conduct says players may be punished for assaulting spectators, the spokesman would not elaborate when asked if his words meant players could try to bring down streakers.

So... was that 5 points?

5 runs, yes.

Handy Hint: Don't let your bros order Indian food when India is playing cricket? My bros and I were watching the cricket (LOL forever at Roy's elbowsmash at the streaker...that's the first time they've shown a streaker on the telly for YEARS) and we ordered Indian. SO IT DIDN'T GET DELIVERED FOR FUCKING AGES!!

:D

(for reference, this is the "rules of cricket" cricket thread, and the one for discussion of cricket events is "Cricket" without an ellipsis)

That's why I posted that link here, Louis.

Yeah, I know! I was just anticipating a rush of off-topic blabber.

Hello hello, it's back again

oh yes

Man, I thought this thread said "Chiclet". : (

Yeah Verin came back with a massive bang in this one and pretty much definitively showed why she was far and away the most awesome Aes Sedai in the book IMO.
