Cricket

So I have read that a few of you don't like the cricket, but is there anyone that does like it like me??

I would rather watching the cricket than rugby most times.

I do, I do!

I'm watching the Aussie v India game as I type, to get a bit of a fix! I'm a Kiwi gal and support the Black Caps through and through though (even if it does become a little tenuous at times! )... I used to work at games when I was a teenager in Hamilton, doing sightscreens and the like.

I LOVE THE GAME!

The licensing laws in England use to be that pubs would have to shut between 3pm and 7pm. But at the cricket you could drink all day. Think it might have only have been on Sundays that they shut at those times. I remember when the law use to be in, it only changed a couple of years ago but I can't remember if it applied to everyday or just Sundays.

If I was being tortured and had to choose between rugby and cricket then I think I would choose cricket as I really don't get rugby, it seems rather gay, a load of full grown men rolling around on the floor hugging each other and trying to rip of pants and shirts.

Yay I have someone. I'm an aussie so am always watching the oz cricket over the NZ games.

Mummy_becks, DH and I are actually going on holiday to Melbourne in three weeks so have got ourselves tickets to see the Aust v India One dayer at the MCG... I am soooooooo excited! (even if it isn't the BCs playing! ) I am a bit worried about surviving all day in the heat tho!

we watched the once a year match of 6 overs per side...it was great.. like 20/20 but smaller...just long enough to hold my interest... and for added torture my Dh feel asleep on top of the remote and i had to watch cricket for 3 hours the other day! and then again when he woke up cause he missed it..ick!:(

I like leauge too. I'm a brisbane girl so can you guess who I support??

OMG now that is going back a long time ago with the North Sydney Bears.

I'm the same with sport, i'm a bit rugbyed out as DH used to work for the NZRFU so it was always in our house Graham this and that and he had to do long hours as Graham needed this done now.

I'm so glad I have 5 sports channels.

I played at high school too and for a club when I lived to Christchurch... opening bat and sometimes wicketkeeper!! (I was one of the few in my high-school team who wasn't afraid of the ball )

So much fun!

i love cricket, and am not a fan of rugby. I prefer league to rugby, but one year I followed the whole NRL and it overdosed me to league. I just find in NZ there is way too much rugby on TV I'm just over it, the super 14 will start soon and hello its still summer, why can't they just have rugby in the winter.

The first game of cricket I ever saw was the infamous underarm bowling game in 1981 and that got me hooked, I used to have a crush on Lance Cairns when I was younger, he was my idol!! LOL.

I go to see one dayers every year, except this year I won't be able to as the ODI against England in Chch is the day before I am due, but I might go to the 20/20 on the 7th Feb depending on how I feel. I just love it!! My DH likes it but not as much as I do. My preference is for one day games, but I do enjoy 20/20, not so much of a test fan unless its the final day and its exciting, but then its just like a one dayer. My DH bought me a signed bat, which is signed by the black caps who beat the Aussies in the Chappell-Hadlee at the start of last year. I even forced the issue to get sky so I could watch cricket.

Oh man I could go on about it all day.
