What's the difference between the end of a cricket match and sex?



I don't know, I've never seen the end of a cricket match.


(Are they called matches, kids?)

Don't forget the major contribution that the English team has made to the Qantas bottom line - all those extra players flying out to replace yet another victim.

We laugh at it - but it has been a bit of a farce.
With the one-day matches starting, and neither of the Waugh brothers able to get a guernsey in the top 30 players, England must be feeling even more gloomy. There's such huge competition to get into the team. BBC commentator Jonathan Agnew the other day noted that not one of the English team would be likely to get a berth in an Australian team.

But against India (in India) - not so good Confused

I take it you're not coming out until the Indians come to play?


Small edit here - you're already out!!! Confused

Interesting match this afternoon - England vs NSW - a one-dayer, in Sydney!

Unusual conditions. Fierce winds, bushfire smoke, but not too hot. This wind should make interesting with the spinners - no Shane Warne, but we have ....da-da...Stuart McGill!

How is an England-Oz cricket match like bad sex?

One party is usually done before the other is even interested.

Ashes indeed. The English team are in Sydney now - and we've got plenty of ashes.

Glenn McGrath was out on on Wednesday, on the roof of Steve Waugh's house, fighting the flames as they licked about. Steve was in Melbourne, and flew back in a hurry, and had started to jog past the road closures to his house, before a fire truck crew recognised him.

They say the players will go through fire for their captain.....

Hellzbellz - the Poms have finally got up a bit! I thought we were going to take the bat to them. And the first bunch of Aussies got out for bugger-all! Imagine - a real fight on day 5. Absolutely crucial that Steve Waugh performs a miracle tomorrow!

Gautam, that is hilarious.

The English cricket team's display in the first one day final was more insulting than usual.
