Fun for the handful of countries that play the borefest that is test cricket. The rest of the world couldn't give a monkeys.

England Test Cricket captain to his friend, "We've won the ashes! We've won the ashes man!!! Yippeeeee!!"

Friend, "Wow! How did you do it?!"

Captain, "We basically play the same team 5 times and whoever wins the most WINS!!"

Friend, "So it's kind of like a sh*te best of 5 then is it? You play ONE TEAM 5 TIMES AT HOME and it's an achievement to win? I support Torquay so if we played say, Rochdale at home 5 times and didn't win more than them then we'd be sh*t right? But if we won more than them as expected then suddenly all the players should get knighthoods?"

Jeez, the first line of the chorus is very apt but insert the word 'test' between the words 'like' and 'cricket'........... and

Don't much like cricket then.

County cricket is sometimes bearable and I love 20/20 format but not test cricket. It is too laborious and not competitive enough with only a handful of countries that are any good. I admire their skill and technique as cricketers don't get me wrong just that I think test cricket has no interest anymore.

As said on the other thread, this current series is fantastic viewing.

Great battle going on, and what's not to love about the Aussies struggling

Only people who like minority sports revel in the Aussie / Brit rivalry. For everyone else there isn't any. :~D

Newsflash !! Andy talks bollocks about sport yet again.

Says the bloke who loves F1. A 'sport' consisting of a convoy of cars following each other around a track 60 times only to discover that the bloke at the head of the convoy at the start wins. :na:

Skiing is excellent (not snowboarding though, they always have to feckin ruin it these trendsetting ponces). Skiing is all about real skill and co-ordination and balls. Snowboarding is just funny.

Skiing versus F1

No contest

Loving the thrashing we're giving the Aussies once again this Ashes series. 2-0 in two tests, 3 to go, let's keep it up!
