Open or Ashes?

[Liverbirdie]

Maybe a silly question on a golf forum, but for those off work, what will you be doing.

I'm thinking for Thursday and Friday mainly watching the Ashes, as just the early days of the golf, but when they are having lunch and tea, looking in on the golf.

Saturday and Sunday will be tough choices though.

Cricket? Are you nuts?

Multi screen?

Tis a great game, although I didnt think so 20 years ago.

Maybe it's for the more cultured type of guy, not like the ruffian sports you frequent.

Multi screen?

Nar, one or t'other although could always sky+ one of them. The golf doesnt get good until the last 2 days for me.

Haven' got sky so golf with cricket on in the background on r5.

Aye true. The first 3 weeks of the cricket is not to be missed

 

[chrisd]

Certainly a mix of both but it will depend how the cricket is going

 

[huds1475]

Probably Ben & Holly or Doc Mcstuffins

 

[Grogger]

I'll be flicking between both. Just depends how we start in the cricket though. Nothing worse than watching England crumble at the hands of the Australians!!

Heathen, you have to look for the nuances in it to appreciate it.

A bit like caviar and marmite, (I bet you've had them together).:ears:

Ive been to the cricket once at Edgebaston. Once was enough. It isn't quite as rubbish in real life.

Yes, it is good for getting leathered at, isn't it?:cheers:

Went to watch the Ashes at Old Trafford years ago. I was shocked at the rowdy atmosphere to be honest! That's about all I remember from the day! I was hammered by lunch!!

 

[garyinderry]

I was there for a Warwickshire game. none of you rowdies were there. :rofl:

The Open is for 4 days. The ashes tests and other one day shizzle will go on for weeks and weeks. Watch the golf. All of it. There's plenty of cricket to come. There'll also be 'highlights' on at night.

That said the Ashes are special and do come round only once every 18 months/2 years. Much like your golf comp entry rate....

Cricket.

Meh.

Have you been barred from comps @ your place Pete? Bacon sales must be suffering?

No mate, just haven't got round to any, mainly been playing later on with a mate.

Bacon sales are the same as last year, at our Jewish golf club........:rofl:

 

[fundy]

Both for me, 2 sky feeds into 2 tvs should be a fun few days

 

[Slab]

Just golf, zero cricket

Set up a separate PC at work that wont affect the teams bandwidth so I can stream during office hours and then my home internet to stream in evenings/weekend. Not going to see every shot (I still have to work & playing golf on Sat am) but it should keep me updated

Sunday veg out in front of tv for the full coverage

Depends how the cricket is going. As it is, being at work on Thursday and Friday, I might not see much of either until the weekend. Sunday will most probably be golf though
