Well...that's just not cricket, is it.
Anyone here down under able to tell me how scathing the press are about the Aussie first innings in the 4th test? 60 all out?? :knuppel2:
No.
You're surrounded by Americans! To us, "cricket" is either a cell-phone service provider, or a small insect used for fishing bait / feeding snakes.

lol - that last test was over pretty quick.
Unlucky Aussies :'(
Great result for England. My heart bleeds for the Aussies. Their current team is the most boorish I've ever seen, and that's saying something..
And yes, the aussie press utterly slayed them. :D
I tried watching it when I visited the UK and India and very much need to have someone explain the rules to me. That's the problem with most sports; they are boring unless you understand the rules.
Btw cricket is huge in India. More than I ever would have expected. The kept that and driving on the wrong side of the road from the Brits. :2funny:
sydney heralds headline was 'Pomicide'
You could place cricket posts in the baseball thread. No one would know the difference.
The strange thing is, for an English lad, I used to play baseball, but not cricket.

Smart.
And just so we're clear.....I really don't need to know what would make a wicket sticky.
