1312 was before even my day, old chap....

To be serious, I'm not sure Americans should be inducted into the religion of cricket...

Well, as an American, I am naturally suspicious of the game.

Of course. A game that takes 5 days to play, and often ends in stalemate = un-American :mob:

... just avoided an innings defeat they did. A triumph of sorts I suppose. :tea:


There seems to be no-one at the match at all. You'd think that there must be a great many Pakistanis and English in that part of the world who'd like to take in a few days cricket, but the stadium is eerily quiet.

Ridiculous place to hold a cricket match. If Pakistan can't play at home, at least base their matches in another Test nation.

Fook off you upside down person.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

Less than a year ago you were being slaughtered by the Poms on your home patch. How quickly the Aussie sporting psyche switches back to "invincible" mode ... :hehe:

The ICC is based in dubai the UAE royalty are cricket mad to the point where they will build a stadium so they can watch cricket.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.
