jemathonical Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Well it is now coming into the cricket season and this is the topic to discuss all things cricket. Current Tests and ODI's. Your cricket games. Any goals? Anything really. :) Well tomorrow my club season starts for me. Only a 35 over game, so should be a pretty good game. I guess I'm hoping for a good start to the season with the regional selection trials happening next weekend. Bla bla bla. Let's get into it. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!

Ouchy Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Ah Cricket, the Summer Game 8-) Funny though, I always wanted to play, and I am keen to, but never have for a team. My mum didn't want me to -.- Apparently I had the potential to become good too My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

warri0r45 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Who's Australia playing for the test series in Aus this year? I'll definitely be watching that. I don't have the ability to watch the current test series in India, so I'm looking forward to the one in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megakiller32 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Cricket has always bored me. My PE teacher forces me and my friends to be in the cricket team despite a golden rule of the school's ethos, "you don't have to be in a team if you don't want to."

RichieMcD Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 The absolutely amazing Irish cricket team will make quite an indent into the world Cricket scene this year 8-) [/sarcasm] Pretty enjoyable game to play with mates but I find it to boring to watch. Never bothered playing on a team or anything, just play with a couple of mates. I was a beast on Cricket 08 though 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I have a friend that plays on the U.S. national team. His origins are Sri Lankan though.

At least thats the way it works around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 we will come to oz and own. thats just how we roll, nrl or otherwise. Absolutely. Which is why the Warriors finished 8th. Amazing.

Mind you, credit where credit is due. You beat Tonga. Well done! =D> [/sarcasm] Lol, the Warriors made a huge comeback during the NRL season, we had a terrible start, not winning a away game for the first 12 odd rounds. But cricket or rugby league (my two favourite sports), Aus pwns us :( Yesterday I had a cricket match verus the best team in our clubs league, I don't play for my school anymore because they don't think I'm any good, I can't blame them, until yesterday honestly I didn't think I was good enough. Actually tbh I only made 14 runs, but I lasted longer then most of the team (who are all adults, I'm 15). Ha I lasted like 40 balls while the other guy was doing the scoring, though I couldn't pick the gaps in the field... I timed some shots pretty dang well. Still I'm having problems with hitting balls to the leg side though, I'm pretty dang awesome with hitting through the off-side... The shot I got out on in the game pissed me off, a half volley outside off and I totally mis-timed my drive to cover, the cover drives my best shot as well. I didn't bowl which was kinda annoying, as I'm a pretty good bowler.... Now to internationals- NZ failures, lost an ODI to Bangladesh and are failing in this test match, though I reckon we'll win still :D India in with a chance as well, if they get a few wickets early in the day.

Haha, don't feel too bad about loosing to Bangladesh, I still remember when Aus did that. It was arround the time that Jason Gillespie got 200 against them in a test match, if I remember correctly. Good thing we beat them convincingly in the recent commonwealth bank series in Darwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Australia when that game was on actually, my mum woke me up so I could see Ashraful get his 100 and win Bangladesh the game. But if we lose the test, then that'll be embarassing.

jemathonical Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Played a 35 over game today in our comp. We batted first and I went in at three and made a disgraceful 2. Got out the way I always do, caught. Terrible shot. Ball bounced up so I thought I'd pull it, but as always it hit up the top of the bat and went straight up. We absolutely rolled them. Bowled them all out for something like 30. I got 3 caught behinds and 2 stumpings and a run out if I remember correctly. Pretty good day. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!

angryjoe Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 No mention of Sachin's awesomeness yet?! :o What a legend the guy is, I wish I had been a bit older when he played for Yorkshire, would have been great to see him in live action. I hope Ponting doesn't catch up with him too. :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceSpitball Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I don't really know much about cricket, but i love watching/discussing sports so I guess I could try to learn more cricket. Here in Sweden, it's not so popular... atleast in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
