Hey everyone,

As you might know, I'm a cricket tragic, just wanted to know if there were any other cricket tragics in here, if so I am going to start a Cricket thread, more importantly, an Ashes 2005 thread. If anyone is also interested, I'm trying out for representative cricket this year also, and may start a journal, but yeah thats if anyone cares. :lol:

Oi Oi Oi !

AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!
cant wait till thursday!!! bring it on pommies!!! bring it on!!!

I love cricket!

The Poms are shaking in their boots now, Aussie 4-0 is my tip, have to allow for some rain over there :lol:

Sorry not a cricket fan but I absolutly love Rugby. Close enough? Actually I have never seen an entire cricket game due to the fact that they don't show cricket games here in the U.S. I would like to watch one sometime though.

Hi from a cricket fan :tu:

Its been a while since I played though :)

The Ashes, well Oz is gonna rock - no doubts about that :cool:

Love the sport. Although lately its really been a drag to watch, specially when Aus are playing .. too one-sided. Hopefully England are going to show them a thing or two - hahah, I loved seeing Bang beat Aus!!! That was just a classic ...

I hope the Champions Trophy will be good this year - Sri Lanka all the way!!

Red & Rover for July 18, 2005 (http://www.comics.com/wash/redandrover/archive/redandrover-20050718.html)

Maybe some of you read the comics... Maybe I should not waste bandwidth... But Red & Rover oftimes make my day so much better...

loved seeing Bang beat Aus

I missed that one :) but I'm sure that must have been one of the biggest shocks to Oz :)

LOL!

Took me reading throught the first 4 posts to figure out you're talking about the SPORT and not the INSECT.

Not a lot of cricket in this part of america. Lots of crickets though.

LOL I was like, what the hell is this doing in then General Health & Sports section?

A co-worker sent me a cricket game today somebody had made but I can't find the link! It was a browser game,.

that?This (http://www.3davenue.com/1319.html) Not sure if that's a PC game or a browser game. I can't tell in the 5 seconds I stared at it :D

Well, well, look at that Australia has wrapped up the first test to take a convincing 1-0 lead in the Ashes series...as i saw one place report it, "new faces, same results"... i know i am probably sounding cocky but who cares the Aussies are on a rampage at the ashes... the pommes had to call in their 12th man first, their 12th man being the rain!!!
so to all fellow Aussies out there AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE!!!

yeah man Oz rocks!!

Just thought I'd bump this on behalf of any England fans :D

how good was that damn game

sad about the result though, although makes for an interesting series (stick a draw in there due to rain seems inevitable) and this series will go right down to the wire with the last game deciding the outcome of the series.

LOL!

true now that the rain has given its required assistance, lets watch some cricket. either team could win it from here, but it is most likely to end a draw

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, so we should with any luck, although the weather here changes more often than J-Lo switches husbands, get a full day of cricket.

I'm still hoping for an Aussie win, but I think you're right, she'll end up a draw.

:(

We should really have won that - especially after getting Ponting out.

I'm so sorry, not!!!!!

What a relief, I was late for the gym because I had to watch til the bitter end, I have no fingernails left, and the cat hates me from all the yelling at the tv screen.

I really thought Glen McGrath was a goner in that last over.

Was tracking the score till 8 overs were left...and then had to go for lunch. Somehow I knew they would pull off those last 8 - and they did :)

Just wanted to stand up and be counted as a die hard cricket fanatic!

Hope India can win in Pakistan...Cheers!
