We Jocks are deliberately crap at Cricket. We choose not to develop our inherent talent for the game because we know how dear our English brethren hold it in their hearts.

Fabulous test match in what has been a gripping series so far.
In terms of the ball tampering, I thought it looked very dodgy and agree that it is a shame that nothing has been done by the powers that be. The ICC stating that they can't do anything until they receive an official complaint from RSA is utterly ridiculous. That said, it's a shame that RSA raised the issue and told everyone what they thought and then didn't actually make an official complaint. Gamesmanship really.
As to those who don't like cricket, I feel sorry for you as you are missing out on something quite fantastic.

Boxers wear gloves too. As do golfers. Mind you, if a Russian needs gloves in England.....

I've seen some players wear a snood (is that right? like a bug hat with a hole in it, worn round the neck).

Well it isn't.
According to me, and the Cambridge Dictionary, it is
sport noun (GAME)
/spÉ”Ët//spÉ”Ërt/ n
• <u> a game, competition or activity needing physical effort and skill that is played or done according to rules, for enjoyment and/or as a job
Football, cricket and hockey are all team sports.
I enjoy winter sports like skiing and skating.
• <u> UK all types of physical activity which people do to keep healthy or for enjoyment
She used to do/play a lot of sport when she was younger.</u>
It needs physical effort and skill and people do it to keep healthy and for enjoyment.
AND I WEAR A JUMPER WHLE I DO IT !!!!! ( and play golf )

Because its quite popular and extremely cheap tv to fill their four sports channels.

And it must be a sport, because you can do it in a jumper. More difficult with gloves on though.

watching poker last night and willie thorne was playing and i know there are hundreds of other sports stars that play.They also play for massive money,greedy b-----s.

In Thornes case he probably needs it. He has a history with gambling (mainly the horses) and hasn't been that good of it. Apparently he did all his snooker money and was in quite a bit of debt.

YES Homer i remember him having massive debts at one stage,it seems a bit of a culture in sport.I cant understand it these people are paid massive amounts of money especially footballers,why do they need to gamble isnt getting paid £100,000 a week enough?
Ahh but poker isn't gambling, is it.
