Is anyone still watching Cricket after that Ashes debacle? I'll admit to being somewhat of a fairweather cricket fan, especially not being able to get telelvised highlights here until usually 3 weeks or so after the fact. But thanks to sites with live commentary (plug: Cricinfo.com) I have had an opportunity to follow along. I digress. I went to sleep early last night after the Kiwis were at 67/5, thinking that England was really going to give them a good hiding. I wake up this morning to find out England lost by 90 runs, and Ed Joyce was the leading batsman? Could somebody please provide me with a tea towel explanation on how this team (who coincidently just eeked out a one run victory with one ball to go against the very same team last week) got completely embarassed?? |

I was beyond tired, so collapsed into slumber well before this one started, but I tuned in just in time to see the conclusion to the collapse. And it was painful. |

Although I'm a keen Cricket player and fan, I admit that since the Ashes, I have become less intrested. |

Simple, we are rubbish at ODI cricket, and not much better at the moment at Test Cricket! :angry: |

I became hooked during and after the 2005 Ashes victory, and ever since have found great entertainment in my country's demise!! |

I find watching English cricket too hard nowadays. I'd rather watch Dad's Army than watch English Cricket. :angry: (and that's saying something!) |

I don't supposed that anyone watched/listened to last night's affair? Apparently Collingwood hits a ton :o and England scraped out a 14 run victory, to qualify themselves for a first-class ass whupping at the hands of the Aussies in the final. |
