I know a lot of you guys up in here are bursting at the seams unable to hold in the sheer joy of what is to cometh this Tuesday

That's right, it's the ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP , to be played out in the beautiful splendor of the Caribbean





Like a lot of you here, I'm going off sick for the next six weeks too. Don't feel guilty guys, it's totally justified. It's a quadrennial event for foo'ks sake. Everything's on hold

Now, I've been inundated with literally 3's and 3's of requests to start this thread from Org.ers who, up until today, have only ever spoken and shared their tabooed adoration for this exhilarating game through secret, passionate Org.notes, in the same vain as forbiden lovers depicted in tragic romantic Bollywood run-of-the-mill formula films

But no more must you people continue to conceal yourselves under your shawls of secrecy Emancipate your desires for CRICKET here and let your emotions bask this page in an opulence of colourful cricketing celebration!












So then. Any cricket fans here right now?

I don't know what cricket is, really, but it all sounds very exciting.

I can only take so much of this quasi sport, any game that takes 3 days to finish is one I cannot watch!

Good plan.

Hey! Mon. 19th march... Ind v Bermuda I think the bermuda players have got a great chance of... well, getting the autographs of the Indian players It'll be something to tell your grandsprogs

May, may, somebody is shy ( ) Okay. I've just received an Org.Note from a bashful fellow who wishes to remain anonymous.

Dear senik,
Would you please post up the fixtures list (including venue stadiums) of the games to be played during this grand exhibition of cricketing magnificence.



In my response to JerseyKRS,

Dear young man
Haven't you ever heard of Google you rotten, lazy, good for nothing piece of bum fluff

p.s. If next time "senik" isn't spelt with an upper case "S"... kiss goodbye to your kneecaps

Thanx but I'll hold my breath for the NCAA College Basketball Championship, starting Thursday.....

I am so excited about this, i am in 2 minds about our chances but after the tri-series in AU i think we have a stab at this.
I for one will be staying up for the games

karmatornado said:

So you don't like American football then?

mdiver said:

Bruv, they'll be on in the afternoon, our time

Or will this interfere with one's late afternoon milk time and nap

senik said:

Well nap time is something that i never usually miss

aaaah, cricket. a game so thoroughly boring it makes rugby appear to be like Hagler vs Hearns.


Why do England play Australia every week?


i think we should be told

sermwanderer said:

Geeeeez'eeerr! It's been donkeys, old friend

You know Scotland are in it don't ya'? They're grouped with the mighty Dutch as well as minnows, Austrailmania and South Africa

Howz'it anyhow, bruv?

mdiver said:

Hard fucking har har har! any sport that can take more than 1 day to complete bores me to tears.

senik said:

I'm alright mate, apart from today's result

How you doing my man? Still good?

I didn't know Scotland were in it, though I'm pretty sure they'll be thoroughly rogered almost immediately

It's only Curling we win at, sport of kings that it is

karmatornado said:

I must say that I agree!!!

senik said:

oops, i was thinking of CROQUET.

well, croquet is still cool. you can play that game and have snacks at the same time. my kind of sport.

sermwanderer said:

It's their insistence on wearing kilts in the traditional way. It's not only easy access for the opponents but a blatant invite for heavy rogering.

I know you lost out today, man, it's a pride thing. Take solace in the fact that you've got that league tied up already

Anx said:

You thought this was a thread about the Croquet World Cup

How dare you!, I say, how dare you, young squire. You must think we're a nation of tea sipping, Bowler Hat wearing, Morris Dancers How, I say, how dare you!
