I love it - I could watch it all day every day for a 5 day test match!!

But only if Aus is playing ... not too many test matches go the full 5 days then.

I've found myself watching it this past couple of days. I had'nt a clue what I was watching but I know we WHERE winning.:(

:D

Sucking you in is it?

when both teams wear the same colours it dont help
who's who??

Sums it up, Ozz could not beat us, so they went for the draw, either way, that rule is stupid!

As interesting as watching grass grow!.............................IMHO

Look, here's the most simple and straightforward explanation of cricket:

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.

Simple!

So why , after days of playing do they DRAW??????????????????????

Doogalman, stooooopid ain't it, then i guess, we invent these games and have stoooooopid rules, like the off side rule :lol:
