This is the first Ashes series that I probably wouldn't go to even if I won tickets

I fear Australia will get smashed :(

Howzat for Australian optimism !

So you think you may be doing a rain dance some days ? :)

Only the English could invent a game where a match can take 5 days, and at the end finish in a DRAW if it rains ! :D

I remember once telling 'The Dealer' how long cricket matches lasted. I think Latvians prefer the cut-and-thrust of Ice Hockey ! :)


I always liked this famous comic explanation of cricket ...

CRICKET - AS EXPLAINED TO A FOREIGNER

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

Yeah definitely a game that took hold when there was very little else to do!

If you didn't grow up on it would be hard to learn to love these days I think...especially all 5 days of it!

Also hard to continue to love when your team is now sh1te.

Not like back when Warnie had the old enemy mesmerized, Gilchrist smashing you all over the ground and Steve Waugh averaged 300 for an Ashes series. Ahhh those were the days!
