Why England shouldn't play cricket.

master_tonberry · **Why England shouldn't play cricket. -** 11-25-2010, 09:00 AM

so I'm watching the updates on the BBC website of England playing the Ashes against Australia. First I'm dissapointed when I see that the first player out is the Captain, Strauss, after 3 balls, and with 0 runs. Thats bad, yes but I then see that England has 197 runs, for 4 players out. Thats not too bad. Then I see this:

thats 3 players going out in...oh about 4 mins. Without getting a single run. Like fucking hell England were ready to win.

Am I the only one raging here?

Because I read that post and was like, WTF? It hit his toe? Take a base? 197 runs? god dam... don't they call it after like an 8 point lead? Then I remembered Cricket is not like baseball....

If not, there certainly should be a mercy rule. Christ. I don't understand or claim to know anything about this sport, but that just seems like salting a wound to me. If that is indeed a low score, I have no idea. But a number that high just perks my interest. Do explain.

Well,the ashes sure have a flair for the dramatic!
260 ain't a bad score but it's all up to the English bowlers now...

260 isn't a bad score in general, but in the ashes, against australia.....its not good. its not unusual for the score to be in excess of 400 in the ashes, so 260 is a good effort, but ultimately not up to par.

I don't watch much cricket ...not since India lost horribly to the Aussies back in 2003..
and now I don't watch much football.. cauz Arsenal FC is ...*sigh*
so don't know if I still have the knowledge...but 260 is not bad is it?
wait it's a Test match and its the 2nd day so ..its not that great.
But still I'm on your side... GO England!
