Although to be fair England havnt had the best winter down under....
Cricket can be very boring! games can last for 5 days and then just be a draw. Atleast with baseball you play until somebody wins.. (might be wrong here). The two sports are essentially very similar though , although in baseballers wear silly socks!If you wake up in the morning, it's because Jack Bauer spared your life.

To keep it on topic, cricket is a gentlemens game. It has class, grace. It has produced some of the best Australian's we've had to offer. David Boon. Shane Warne. Actually they are probably the top two. Heres the best story to show you what Aussie/Cricket culture is all about. One mans triumph over the impossible!

Cricket bats were designed to emulate the Steinberger L2. True.
Fett, forget cricket, it's crap. It's just like baseball ie. go to the game, take loads of beer, sit in the sun, get pissed, every now and then stand up with your mates and have a little sing-song, then get more pissed. Sometimes one of the cretins on the pitch will hit a ball your way and disturb you, but for the most part, the only worry you have is running out of booze and grub. If you are lucky, the sun will shine and some lovely little trollop will get her tits out. If you are really lucky, one of your mates will accept the bet and do a streak across the field and dance around for a while in front of the batsman rubbing his nuts. (Don't worry, it'll be miles away, you won't see anything in too much detail). Then it will piss down with rain, the teams will clear off for cucumber sandwiches before they come out and call the game off due to poor light. There, that's all you need to know about cricket.
Oh, yes, and England will lose. Again.So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!
I nearly broke her back

Thanks. That's all most people need to know. It just cracks me up when the BBC starts throwing out all kinds of numbers. A baseball game is like 6-5. A cricket score runs forever. And then it's time for tea.I am a true ass set to this board.
