What are you saying? He doesn't have the typical sportsman's build but he did surprisingly good despite that?look at this specimen. I watched this guy hit for the cycle (single, double, triple, homerun) with an inside the park homer.

Cricket lends itself well to funny stories with its silly rules and terms and so on. I had a book of them once. One was about some guy dying in the changing room or something and the scorecard read "Did not bat - dead". I dunno if that's funny. Kinda.

Also what's good in cricket is a collapse. When they walk out proudly expecting to be at the wicket for hours before letting in number three and confidently predicting the team will amass a total of about four hundred over the next two days... but actually they're fielding by lunchtime having been skittled for 28.

Riddle me this - how come London doesn't have a team? Why all the counties? Pro's and amateurs with a county-set base?
I love throwing, it's innately human, but this game is full of funny in-coding. The ball seems to more in the air from a delivery than a baseball pitch too. And only one cunt catching gets gloves? Is that Masonic Rite-y too?
I don't trust the attire.

I have a deep loathing for Marcus stoinis. I don't know where this has come from. When he does something stupid and gets out it puts me in a good mood for the whole day
Apparently the prick takes his top off for net sessions

One of my boys is becoming obsessed with cricket, so I’m trying to facilitate that by learning as much as I can. He worships Shane Warne, a ‘leggy’, so he shows me the spin patterns and grips with a rubber ball that exaggerates the bounce and pitch. I’m fucking stumped.
There should be a throwing competition for accuracy in the Olympics. I see it with cricket. Hard, flat throws to keepers and during run outs. Replace a javelin with a ball and make a bigger dart board target. Who wouldn’t watch that.

It’s started again. Australian colleague is all over the England bashing, which was nice
Peculiarly engrossing game with bat and ball. Duration, personal battles in a team sport. The scope of agility and accuracy at speed, batting for hours if possible, will always be surreal. Seen test cricket drunk as hell, think it’s seeing it through kids eyes. You can only encourage interest and participation - throwing/moving objects are primal instincts
“England Collapse“, what’s not to like
