It's always much worse than the end of the football season (even back when I used still to care about football), since the end of the football season at least means summer is about to start. The end of the test cricket schedule, on the other hand, means 6-7 months of hideousness before one can even think of venturing outside without wearing a minimum of two layers of clothing.
To sum up, then: Fúck winter. Fúck it in its inexorable, icy arse.
That is why one winters in India. Nice weather and cricket on the telly. You should try it.Originally Posted by Burney

It'd be all that white ball rubbish, though, wouldn't it? And they shít in the street, which is almost as bad.

Nah. I don't watch white ball cricket. They play tests out there, too. We've always seen some glorious batting, and their spinners with men round the bat on bunsens. But they've now got a top quality test-match quick.
It was great when I first started going in the mid-90s. You'd see a couple of dozen cycle rickshaw-wallahs, standing outside a chai shop, watching the cricket on a small B&W telly, only drinking water as they couldn't afford the Rs.2 for chai.
So you'd walk past and ask "Has Sachin got his ton yet?" and you'd be talking like best mates, with nationality, skin colour and socio-econ circumstances now totally irrelevant.
His ability to unite people makes Sachin a saint. The polar opposite of that cheating Convict cünt Smith.
And it's warm if you're not up the mountains.
Speaking of yesterday a pointless bunch of pricks scrape a 2-2 draw and jump around like heroes while the other team pick up the trophy on the pricks own soil.It's always much worse than the end of the football season (even back when I used still to care about football), since the end of the football season at least means summer is about to start.

I had to switch over to the cricket during the second half yesterday. Flicked back briefly in time to watch the pelanty go in and that was that.Speaking of yesterday a pointless bunch of pricks scrape a 2-2 draw and jump around like heroes while the other team pick up the trophy on the pricks own soil.

Without wishing to take the heat off England's shortcomings, to be honest I think Australia need to take a long hard look at themselves and ask how, despite having a much superior bowling options and the series' best batsman by a country mile, they managed to be only an hour or so more play at Lord's away from losing the series.Speaking of yesterday a pointless bunch of pricks scrape a 2-2 draw and jump around like heroes while the other team pick up the trophy on the pricks own soil.

As someone said on the Beeb website during the last test, Paine being told to stop the verbals showed the real Australia. As soon as they were winning again, all the new, gentlemanly Aus disappeared and they were back to being the scum they've increasingly become.

I can't see a mention of the small piece of history created that day either.
