Well done, about time England won something. But thank god that crap is now over with so people can get back to normal. People that never watched cricket in their life all of a sudden made it all important to watch ! Me not being one of them !
Both my supervisors at work did sweet FA today but sit close to the radio listening .

firstly congrats to chris becoming a YABB GOD with that post
Secondly - well done to England - i dont normally like cricket - but actually this series has been exciting - its how the game was designed, and hence the way it should have been played.
Its got the spontenaety of football, but with the endurance of the 24 hr race (in that you get to drink beer from early till late during it) and actually i quite enjoyed the bits i watched.
That said, you'd NEVER convert me from Football to Cricket, or from Motor Sports to cricket.....
So now thats all over - lets concentrate on the Motor Sports - and after that - the football....cos we all know theyre the games the real men play.....

I hope you're not referring to the English national team with that comment, because they couldn't play their way out of a paper bag right now! |

Ice hockey I agree with, but league over union, you gotta be joking. League may be a faster game and I would say the players are marginally fitter but surely union is the better game from a spectators point of view. I would say league is a more contrived game bordering on an American football type thingy. Where as union flows from one move to another spontainiously.
Anyway, sorry this thread is supposed to be a celebration of the Ashes win.

I was enjoying the cricket up to the point it was clear that the match could only end as a draw, and the Ashes were ours. So, true to form, I "left before the end"  I think even the Aussies were losing interest after that, let alone the crowd waiting to Party and most of the TV audience too, I'd imagine. They need a rule to cater for that kind of situation. |

Just got back from the Parade in London.
There were not as many people there and security was a lot less than at the Rugby Parade. (More police but no barriers!)

Was hoping to get up there to the parade and meet up with Steve Brown, but not possible in the end. Still, it was a fitting climax to a very special sporting event.

When I finally get to meet you would love to discuss the Rugby Union League debate. Played Union from being 8 to 35, loved it. But for sheer pace etc these days league is on its own.

I look forward to it Whitey, maybe it will have to wait until the Poo Bar. It surely won't be as surreal as a conversation I had there this year. I think it was with Mr Invisable, we spent the best part of half an hour discussing the merits of North American ski resorts. Considering it was 30+ degrees, dusty and we were at a motor race in France God only knows how we got onto that subject. Must have been the alcohol. Still, next year Union V League it is then.See you there. |
