**The Official ESB Brit Forum Cricket Thread**

You asked me if I was part-Japanese, well I'm going to ask you if you're part-American. In the past you have made plenty of references to American things (Kool Aid standing out :yep) and to top it off you now say you used to play and watch basketball

 

Well, sort of...My mum is Half-American and i have some family over there (my brother lives in New Orleans) and i often go over to the states for business and pleasure, but i'm 100 percent British born n bred!

Oh btw, who says you have to have a yank connection to enjoy basketball? lol

 

:good

Nah, I've always had a suspicion that you were American/part-American, but that whole basketball post just confirmed it

You don't have to be a Yank to enjoy basketball, I mean Space Jam was one of my fave films as a kid :yep

 

I'm not part-American though, lets get it right, don't wonna be termed as a Yank on this forum.

Oh Space Jam was a classic! lol.

Btw Kos what's you're view on Cricket? can't see it being big in a Hungerian household...

I really can't see the appeal though...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 thats 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 all 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 out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out and that's the end of the game!

Btw did i mention this takes 5 days to complete and you still might not get a result. Absolute pish!

 

Cricket is ****. In fact, this thread has probably beat all of Colinthfc's efforts as being the shittest thread on the Brit forum :verysad

 

Simple minds eh...simple minds

Men bashing each other upside the head or kicking a ball of leather around is about the limit of some peoples attention spans

Look out for Chesney Hughes. This kid is the next star of English cricket. They won't go far wrong drafting him in in place of Pietersen

 

Space Jam rivals Toy Story as the best film of my childhood. Nice to see others liked it

 

James Taylor is a future star for sure. Extremely good player.

 

Yorkshire have some good youngsters coming through.
