# Argh! Cricket!
Horrible! Take it away!

# Bring it back.
Cricket is ace.
Now, hold this bat and defend yourself - and your stumps - while I throw this ball at you at roughly 100mph.
You'll work out where it's heading about 10 milliseconds before it shatters your ribs.
Or skull.

# This'll never work they always work out the amazing speed of tennis balls being shot at and the speed of some footballer's kick.
All irrelevant.

# This is the other side of cricket, equally ace.
Stroll down to the ground on a Sunday, read the paper while nibbling on a variety of cheeses, cold meats, pickles etc, get slowly rat-arsed and occasionally contribute to a ripple of applause.

# Well I'm not really too bitter. Though I was scarred as a lad by an old sod yelling at me for talking during one dull game at Headingley.
Rat-arsed is rat-arsed though I wouldn't mind that.

# I feel your pain.
I was at a Warwickshire game roughly 20 years ago,
and a bucket came round. They were making a collection for Gladstone Small, who was retiring at the end of the season.
I said - too loudly - "What? Are they gonna buy him a neck?"
I was dead pleased with myself for half a second, until the chorus of tutting old men started up...

# I had to search but arf!
I can only say I haven't really bothered with sport really. Cricket especially. The one game I went to never grabbed me but I suppose booze would make it miles better.

# There's no pressure to actually watch the game.
Just get slowly trollied while pretending to do the crossword or something.

# "It died" would suggest it would not come back and we would never have to put up with this boring pile of bulge-rubbing wank

# O M G
Cricket is an abhorrent "sport".
Cricket, Darts and Snooker can get shitted in the cunt and die.

# At the cricket club I play at Kronenburg is £2 a pint
so you can stick that in your cunt and felch it.

# Kronenburg can fuck off too
Oooohh look at me with my £2 pint of piss.
I hate pricks and "their" cricket clubs. It's shite and so is their personality.
I'd rather be a bastard thieving student (with the ability to talk about anything other than the war and petrol prices) again and pay £2 in the student bar for a pint of Stowford.
I bet you read Bernard Cornwall books.
Fucking dull.

Kind regards,

How sweet it was - especially the last post being played in almost silence and on the last note, Tremlett hitting the last wicket.
