I don't think they have batting cages in England
I would be terrified. I would be the geek that they always show in the films, being repeatedly struck by baseballs.

I have to draw my tan on. Stupid ginger skin.

We did the slow pitch softball ones, they've got ones that go up to 90mph tho, I'd be fucking terrified at those
but I did surprisingly well, but I could feel the pain immediately, I'm walking around like a feeble old woman

Is French kissing not kissing with tongues?
Then is French Cricket not Cricket with Tongues?

I don't think I've seen a whole episode of Monkey Dust
but I love the clips I've seen of it.

"Did you not solicit Mr Whippy for a 69 for your daughter?"
"No, it was a 99"
"Well, that's like a 69 but THIRTY WORSE"

may be misquoted

I was going to ask a question but it'll only show my ignorance to the subject of cricket

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:39, Reply)

more than half of brits don't know cricket either.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:40, Reply)

Yeah, but they can't understand the offside rule either.

do you hit the ball full force?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:46, Reply)

Not necessarily,
placement is more important than power.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:47, Reply)

I reckon it's the same with baseball
I just don't see the purpose in having a batting cage for cricket
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:49, Reply)

DUH KRISTINE. HE JUST SAID IT'S ABOUT PLACEMENT, THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE THEM. STOP BEING STUPID.
sorry, I'm broken today.

It's exactly like Quidditch

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:46, Reply)

that's quite pathetic to know more about a make believe game than a real one

I know more about quidditch than cricket
you are not alone
