Schneebored 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Obviously not many cricket fans here.... But I would just like to say how much I enjoyed this series. Particularly how all the Aussies in my office are now very very quiet. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Don't think I could even tell you the name of any cricket player currently playing. Haven't watched a game of cricket in probably more than 20 years! So yeah not much of a fan Link to post Share on other sites

It's been 25 years since England won an Ashes series in Australia. We were played of the park. There are over two billion cricket fans around the world, just not many here on SJ's. It the second most popular sport after football. Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Rich 78 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Same for baseball! Would've loved to have gone over to watch us stuff the Aussies whilst sinking a few! Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Somehow cricket is mesmorising, like watching fish in an aqaurium (Im not taking the piss!). The gentlemans game. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 What does the Australian cricket coach actually do? Transport the team from the hotel to the ground. What do you call a world-class Australian cricketer? Retired. What do you call an Australian cricketer with a hundred next to his name? A bowler. Why can't Aussies get into their beer bottles any more? They don't have any decent openers. What do you call an Australian with a champagne bottle in his hands? A waiter. What would Paul Collingwood be if he were an Australian batsman? In form. Why could Ricky Ponting never be a funeral director? He would keep on losing the ashes. How bad is Australias batting? Well, they're thinking of moving up Extras to the middle order. Why don't Aussie fielders need to have inoculations? Because they hardly ever catch anything. How can you tell that a planeload of Aussies has just landed? The engines have stopped but you can still hear the whining. What would James Anderson be if he were Australian? An all-rounder. What are Australian gropes? Something they make whines from. Link to post Share on other sites
