Seriously think about this logically. How can a flying spaghetti “whatever†live or make something? If we are made in Gods image, I’m not spaghetti am I? you have probably ruined millions of people’s lives. Y is there pirates in ur religion? I am trying 2 act like u don’t have mental disabilities, but it’s very hard. This is blasphemy and u will probably burn in hell for the next eternity for ruining the lives of millions of people. I don’t know ne1 who “believes†in ur load of #$^@!like the words of others GET SOME HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Thumper.
Just wait until Scotland thrash the Aussies. Oh how I’ll dance :)
.
O-EJ – well, the Aussies know something about it too. It’s mainly the old commonwealth countries (i.e. places we have, at some time, invaded, enslaved or generally fucked about with).
.
You have to start at an early age with cricket. I haven’t a clue about all of the rules but that’s OK as most umpires are pretty clueless too (unless they’re on our side of course).

@ OEJ- I lived in England a while back and still have no clue about cricket (sorry Brits and Aussies – no offense). I do know they can play for 3 days and still have no idea who won…
@ Alchemist – how did you end up with cousins in Alabama? At least Mobile is a real city!
@ Thumper – had fun with hungdaddy. He accused me of being “sensitive”!! Hahahaha!
@ everyone – I’m out for the night. Back as soon as I can…gonna take one more shot at hungdaddy before I sign off though…thanks everyone for the entertainment! Was feeling pretty down when I started this evening and feel better now! RAmen! :)

Rowdy – my maternal grandmother was the youngest of 7(I think) siblings – she was the only one who didn’t emigrate in the early 1900s. Got relatives in NY, Mobile, Quebec, Vancouver and other places I can’t remember.

“I do know they can play for 3 days and still have no idea who won…” – 5 days for a test match. At one time they weren’t time limited. I suspect they changed that when people started dying from old age.

When you go to see one – well, put it this way, they sell alcohol so it’s more like a 5-day Piss Up-a-thon – usually have to check the score when you get home to see what you were supposed to be watching :)

Cricket really is the greatest game ever…it tests a man physically (think 5 days in the sun running about), mentally and more importantly…it tests a man’s spirit and even his honour like no other game…cricket is like life…I sh*t you not! Don’t listen to Wench Nikkiee…most chicks just don’t get cricket…it’s not in their genes or handbags or something…
.
Here’s a little challange for you…if you can successfully research the 10 ways to get out in cricket I’ll make you my “padawan apprentice”…you may call me Yoda or Thumper…whatever you prefer… and I’ll provide you with the very first web based cricket coaching clinic in history…you’ll be the envy of your peers…you can even ask Alchemist for help if you need to…

Hey Thumper
I played Vigaro (and sometimes cricket) all through my school days :)
Even knocked a “silly mid on” into unconsciousness once, when I accidently slipped into softball tradition of throwing the bat after…on that occasion…an excellent hit. (at least a four, though I thought it was probably a six…wasn’t counted though :(
In fact that game kinda died after that!

Oh and when I referred to watching grass grow…was mainly referring to spectating the game. Mind you, on your own teams fielding stint, it really depends on your field position, batsman and bowler, as to whether you have time for a game of chess, a couple of drinks and a nap in between seeing any action. :)

Vigaro is a poor cousin of the real thing…you’re to be commended on playing the real thing though…cricket builds character…but “just because you are a character doesn’t mean you have character” – Harvey Keitel “Pulp Fiction”.
.
Cricket is a tough sport…silly mid on is a tough position. My friends and I have a little tradition of playing Qld vs Rest of the World (ROW) each year (ROW includes other States but we have a couple of Poms, Kiwi’s and a Sri Lankan)…I usually get silly mid on…I believe this is on account of my enormous skill and that I’m usually most pissed at 9.00am (and agree to stand 3 feet from the batsman)…but now I think about it maybe my team mates just don’t like me…

“was mainly referring to spectating the game.”…what an appalling thing to say…there’s nothing in this world as exciting as being glued to the tele watching every ball of a hard fought 5 day test between the Aussies and the “Old Foe”…other then being at the game dressed as a XXXX Legionnaire cheering for your countrymen…(we made it into Shannon Noll’s “Come on Aussie” film clip I’ll have you know…we also got in “Picture” magazine with a hot naked woman…classy stuff)
.
I’ve taken the trip to Charters Towers…is the largest cricket competition in the World…150 teams…of varying degree of ability…

A few months back, I found a good overview of the Towers Australia Day weekend, which I have posted on another thread once before. You may have already seen it. I think it captures the flavour of the Goldfield Ashes nicely.

I understand…..I’m not joking when I say I have virtually no memories of those weekends. Went up a couple of times to take photos. On both those occasions, after a few drinks, I thought it was wise to give up on the pics and stow my camera gear. I’m sure I still have some of those undeveloped films….somewhere..

Must admit I only got nine off the top of my head (ways to get out) – I forgot about handling the ball :(
I was always a close-in fielder too. I used to think it was because of my cat-like reflexes and extreme courage. I now suspect it was to stop me from sitting down near the boundary and sneaking in a crafty smoke. Or, like you said, they just didn’t like me :)
.
I just bet you bowl spin too! The lazy man’s delivery of choice. 15 yard run-up, I think not! I’ll stick to a big step and a hop thanks :)
.
I love some of the arguments too “well, I had to fetch it last time – you go and get it”

@Nikkiee
“….maybe next year we could get a team of Pirates together for the Ashes :)”
.
Now that’s a damned fine idea. I bet we could get at least 12 reasonable cricketers together!
Three questions;
1) Where should we play – not England, too wet! Barbados? On a beech :)
2) Who should we challenge?
3) If it’s for an alternative ashes – what can I, er we, set fire too :)) – not really fussy about that one. Hell, just give me an accelerator and my zippo and name your target!

Not yet mate – mind you still haven’t read the gospel of FSM – got ‘em somewhere – I’m a bit of a book monster :_

Have you read any Iain Banks?
.
Wasp Factory, Complicity, Whit etc – be warned though Complicity is a VERY disturbing read, really! – it’s about revenge!
Whit is quite relevant to this site – about a religious sect – very funny :)
The Wasp Factory – hell, gender roles – read the book, don’t see the play first!
.
His Sci Fi – Consider Phlebas, The Player of Games, Use of Weapons, Excession, The State of the Art etc are truly mindblowing.
None are easy reads though (Complicity even made me feel sick – that nasty!)
