The worlds most broing sport ever (Cricket. Don't say Baseball as Cricket is similar, but slower as it lasts twice the length of a Baseball game), has just started the Ashes (it's like the World Cup of Cricket, ut only 2 teams play, and it's the same 2 every year and a half).
5 35 hour games (5 consecutive days of 7 hours play each. Played about a week or two apart), and my older bro is a huge Cricket fan, so all i'll get for weeks is total boredom when I walk into his, as he'll have the Cricket replays on (it's in Austrailia this year, so he can't watch it Live, as it's on now, until 7 in the morning). NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Anyone else have to suffer this fate?

I actually rather enjoy Cricket, but I'll be damned if I'm prepared to invest the time to watch a whole test match. It just goes on for so long. I mean, there are other things in life that I must do!

My previous sport posts have been about Football/Soccer (worlds most popular sport, played by the majority of countries in South America. Which last time I checked, was an America). NFL, HNL, HBA, and Baseball.
Because i've only made 2 sports posts, and both were about all sports.
"What team do you support?" and "what is your favourite sport?".
So :P
Also, why the hell would I want something to keep me busy till the launch of a console I wouldn't spend £200, let alone £425 on?

There are breaks during the day, of course, and the game does not go on through the night. You get about six hours of cricket per day, or maybe just a little more. Cricket is played at an extremely slow pace. During the course of the match there will be hundreds of deliveries bowled, and the scores customarily run into the hundreds, too.

I did say it's over a period of 5 days.
Death, when I went to reply, I realised I hadn't seen who I was replying to other than you, so I quickly looked, but the page was just closing for the reply page to open. I seen Blue in the avatar and a D. and I know Desslock's av is a Blue guy. So I thought it was him, as soon as I realised I corrected it.
And it's not like you haven't made mistakes before.
I've seen several spelling and wording errors. And when I spot them, you know it's bad, lol.
I'm sure the other day you said "was" instead of "were", or "were" instead of "was".

My bro has the book, but really bad **** happens to the people I know when I read books.
Even going into bookstores is risky. I walked into Waterstones and my best mate lost his voice, that very hour that I walked in, he lost his voice and couldn't speak for a few days.
What's with all the Demon hate? THAT DEMON IS A SON OF *****, HE POSTS THREADS ON A FORUM ON THE INTERNET~!!
I'm used to being hated on many sites mate (usually make more friends than enemies though. But there's always a first, and AN is mine). No idea why, maybe it's the name. Afterall even thing from Hell doesn't exactly come over as "friendly" to many people, lol.

We also get Poker tournies here, nightly, and my bro likes watching that too.
But at least Poker is more thrilling and doesn't last as long. At least in Poker you usually get some jokes.

I always thought Brockian Ultra-Cricket sounded like a good game to watch. As for terrestrial Cricket, if it's any less interesting than Golf to watch, I'm glad I've missed it.
I've always thought Golf should be played on fields that have been cleared f most, but not all land mines. This is the only thing that could possibly make it interesting to play, much less watch.

As I said above, the Ashes is always England VS Austrailia. Always.
And so far the Aussies seem to be on top form. We fluked a win last year and a half (it takes place every 18 months), which is the first time in 20 years we won. Won't happen again for a while.
BTW Dess and Sailor. Don't forget, Golf was invented by a Scot, and Scotland is part of Britain, lol.

Like what nearly happened to my bro again, coming home from work.
BTW since posting this, I have been informed of a Cricket World Cup actually existing. So, to the English and the Aussies, the Ashes is like the Superbowl of Cricket. My bro says "it's more like the World Series of Baseball".

The fact that you're whining about the Ashes being always England Vs Australia shows your complete ignorance. England Vs India or Australia Vs Pakistan can't be the ashes because the ashes is what the series between only England and Australia are called. It's been around since the 1890's..... it's ****ing tradiation.

I never once whined about it being only Austrailia and England, I was INFORMING! others that it was only those 2 teams.
Others like sailornyanko who was wondering if India was in it, and like Aaluaine who said that Pakistan would PWN all of us in the Ashes.
So, may I be the first to say to you, LEARN TO ****ING READ, *****!
Oh, and I never compared the Wolrd Cup to the World Series. My older brother compared the World Series to the Ashses.

You didn't put any name before it, so what the ****ing hell am I suppose to assume?
You direct the post to me, and then say that the first part wasn't to me, but you say that now, and not then, which is when it needed to be said.
Re-read your own post, you never once say that the Wolrd Cup remark isn't to me, nor do you even imply. Because after that, you continue your post saying "and the fact that you're whining".
You should've put something along the lines of "And now onto DEMON's stupidity" which of course wasn't mine at all, it was yours for not reading what I typed. Something to show that you were clearly talking to 2 different people.
That's like looking at one guy and talking to a different guy entirely.
