Besnit · 09-25-2002, 10:57 AM

I was just wondering does anyone hear like Cricket, coz I do and I was just wondering am I the one on these boards.

The reason I was wondering was because today I was reading that in America, Cricket is the fastest growing sport.

finally, a thread on Cricket

well nesbit, i also like cricket and i'm sure u are aware that the icc champions cup is running.

i just want to know if u watched today's match: South africa vs India - what a match, frustrating at the end.

so who are your favorite teams, players?

DYN: Today would have been Hansie Cronje's 33rd Birthday.

RIP Hansie

Yes i did watch the match today it was very good I wanted South Africa becasue I don't really like india. SA should have won it is a shame Gibbs had to retire,

My favourite team are England and Essex
Favourite players Nasser Hussain, Ronnie Irani, Jacques Kalis, Andy Flower. there are a lot more bu they are the main ones.

I was not aware it was Hansie Cronjes 33rd birthday, he was a good player, shame he had to go out of cricket the way he did.

i was annoyed at the way south africa let it slip, actually i'm still annoyed.

but my fave team is South Africa (obviously) and Natal (have u heard of them??)
Fave Players: i LOVE the entire SA squad, but internationally, i would have to be Warne, Lee and Langer - of the English, my fave was Atherton.

Yea I have heard of Natal they used to show South African Domestic cricket on TV here in the UK so they used to be on.

Atherton was good but I think that the 2 openers Engalnd have now (Trescothick and Vaughen) are good.

I can't wait for the World Cup, I reckon it will be close this time.

Yep - big cricket fan here.

Can't wait for the poms to come down here for the ashes - should be a good thrashing again.

Fav player - well I gotta go with Matthew Hayden and well, the whole Australian side in general.

Don't really keep up with it much outside of our summer as that's the only time cricket is shown on tv here.

Besnit · 09-27-2002, 06:23 AM

We will not get thrashed this time it will be closer. We may not win but other the last few years we have got better.

JammieJam · 09-27-2002, 11:57 AM

well - to be honest, i don't think that England will be up to it over the entire test series, maybe a test or two will be close, but the rest could be a canter for Oz.

but if it is close, all the beter for the spectators.
