Howzat!

Kitten Cannon has sucked my life away http://gprime.net/game.php/kittencannon and I recommend it to you all. See if you beat 1,513 feet.

I had a good weekend - I spent Saturday and Sunday starting to get to grips with decorating my office, which is both more complicated and simpler than I feared - the wallpaper stripping has been pretty simple, but ( Read more... )

Bah. I live within walking distance of the ground, but couldn't get a ticket.

In hindsight, I'm vaguely glad I didn't, due to our appalling batting. Maybe I'll get to a match next year.

Cricket!?! That's even more boring than Baseball!!! The only use for cricket is getting drunk in the sunshine and that is more fun on a beach or in a field!
I recommend the book - Life, The Universe & Everything That's all about cricket or rather, all about how shite it is.

Cricket's great. And even when it's not exciting, it's still an excuse to have a nice picnic with a few bottles of wine in the sun. And that's always good.

Getting drunk in a field in the summer is always nice, but it's improved by the gentle smack of leather on willow, and occasional chants of "Cheat" and "Where's Darryl Hair?".

You're just bitter because the Jones' have been dropped/ crocked.

Why is there not a Wales Cricket team? The park behind my parents house in Cardiff is teaming with fuckers playing Cricket in the summer and there is even a big Cricket ground there too (Sophia Gardens)

English bigotory I'd say (if I gave a flying fuck...)

Cymru!!!!!!

Beacause it's the England & Wales Cricket Board. It's just that given Wales is only represented by Glamorgan (none of the other Welsh counties play) the &W gets second billing in the team name.

On the other hand Steven Jones was our best bowler in the Ashes, and he's as Welsh as you like, so no one forgot about Wales then (except interestingly enough for our headhunting Valley boyo from Papua New Guinea Geraint Jones, who only plays for England because he's got a Welsh grandfather, but kept on fogetting that he's supposed to be representing the &W).

It could be much worse - Scotland plays amongst the minor counties in cricket....
