| I know many of you regulars here won't care about this thread, or even know what it is about. But I implore you to find out a little bit about the topic and open your eyes. Shane Warne has just equalled the world record for Career Test Wickets, at 527 at around 25.00. I saw it with my own eyes, the ball that skidded past the batsman as he advanced, the clean take and removal of the bails by the keeper, and finally, the red light signalling 'out' and the end of a long journey for Warne. Unfortunately for Warne, the last few overs of the day yielded no more luck, so he will have to be content with co-holding the record. Because we all know what is going to happen next. Warney's recent career has been plagued with misfortune, stupidy, and much pain. It is a testament to his character that he came back each time and proved them wrong. Hats off. |

| What sport is this? Be proactive. Google search 'Shane Warne' and you'll figure it out. Now you know how I felt when all that was here were NFL and baseball threads. Tristan |

| Is this cricket? I've heard about this guy before. I don't know how that could be possible, but I have. | |||

| My friend woke me up the other day. He called me on my cellphone, I answer in a muffled voice, he says, "sorry to wake you up, but you've got to see this, NRK [the BBC of Norway] are broadcasting cricket!", I reply that I don't see the necessity in telling me this at such an early time and hang up. Anyway, I get up and go out and turn on the TV, and they are indeed broadcasting cricket. At first I am amused, it would be interesting to get a look at this, the most holy of strange commonwealth rituals. I don't think cricket has ever before been broadcast on Norwegian TV, so my friend probably had a point when he telephoned me, it was kind of shocking. So I watch, and this is what I see: There's a guy from the West Indies there, he throws the little ball-thing, the New Zealander bats it, and New Zealand gets a point. This carries on, with no kind of change at all. After a while, the score is 100-0, and I change channels, kind of confused as of to what the big attraction to this game is. Later on in the day, I am over at my friend's place. He turns on the TV, and what do you know, they're still playing cricket (how long are these games anyway?)! Only change is that New Zealand has racked up tons more points, while the West Indies have hardly got any points at all (they do have some points now, though, so I'm guessing the West Indies must have had a shot at batting the ball, too). Anyway, we sit down and watch it for a while, and they're still doing the exact same thing as they did when I was watching it in the morning. The West Inderner throws the ball, the New Zealander bats it, and gets a point. So we sit down watching it, and just as we're about to change channels, something actually happens! The New Zealander bats it in a poor way, making it fly high, so that one of the players from the West Indies can catch the ball without it having touched the ground. This, apparantly, causes the guy from New Zealand to be out! "Wow," I think. Do we get to see some kind of change? Will the guys from the West Indies get a chance at bat? "What's going on?" I think. What happens is that New Zealand brings in a new player, and he keeps on batting, while the guy from the West Indies keeps on throwing. I don't think my face has ever been closer to making an actual "  " than then. I don't get the point! What's the point in playing this game if all they do is throw the ball, bat it, and give New Zealand a point? My friend was equally baffled. Our exploration of this strange, exotic commonwealth-game left us feeling cheated.That being said, I can feel your pain, Wrong 'Un. The sport I follow with a passion, football, gets hardly any recognition in this forum (granted, we had the Euro 2004 thread, but except for that and a few low-post threads where only Colleen and I are involved, there's hardly any football in here). |
