Only watch it when Ashes is on, end of.
You remind me of some of the platers in my team, apart from the catching bit

I dont mind it as much now. I wouldnt watch it on the tv and still qq when my mates put it on but its ok to watch people you know play it if its sunny...or maybe i just want it to be summer again 
I think i could fall out with alot of you over this.
I Love Cricket, it is better then football. i get a buzz everytime march approaches and i know i am going to start training, playing and coaching again( some1s a level 2 coach, )

i play for Lymington Phoenix U14's but not at county yet
well kris, gonna ahve to disagree with you there. i was on a YTS at boston united till gazza broke me. i also played county cricket for 3 seasons in my teenage years. im just a club player in both sports now, a good standard and all but i would rather have had the chance to go pro with football instead of ahving to stop due to injury.
but u are right, i hate watching cricket. and sooo many fans jumped on the bandwagon after the ashes, whcih was annoying
im a keeper in both sports and opening bat. love a bit of sledging, if its done right. dickheads who just swear at you all game are not good sledgers imo. you have to be subtle and a bit clever with your comments. make them think about anything other than hitting the ball for 4. a mate of mine fell victim to a classic last season:
*batsmen plays at a wideish delivery and misses*
fielder: ''hey bat, just letting you know theres a bit of **** on yout bat''
bat: ''cheers amte, where is it''
fielder: ''on the end''
*batsmen looks at the toe of the bat, confused* ''i dont see anything''
fielder: ''the other end mate''
*batsmen then studies the handle and grip, still confused* ''cant see it, it must have fallen off''
at which point i had to step in: ''mate, they mean that youre **** because u cant hit a ball''
he went so red, even the umpire was ******* himself at how long it took the batsman to realise the fielders were ripping him. totally distracted and made to look like a fool, he was out 3 balls later. the fielder left him with this parting comment:
''if i was you mate id get that bit of **** looked at, really isnt helping your game''

Ahh that really wound me up aswell. The same happened when you won the rugby. Where are all the born again fans now?
lol, nowhere to be seen. i hate rugby, i did play a bit at school as we had a very small school, 70 kids in each year on average. so thats about 35 boys, if you were good at any sport you were in the team for all of the sports!
