I don't like cricket because it's stupefyingly boring.

It's no coincidence that people who go to watch cricket matches take loads of alcohol with them.

It's been scientifically proven* that watching Boycott make a century at Headingly actually slowed down the body's metabolism, almost to a complete standstill.

With the football in mind, managers putting on a substitute in the 91st minute,
sad to see the usually upright and honest dude Southgate debasing himself today.

No tactical reason, just gamesmanship and time wasting, cheating by another name.
90 plus subs are common throughout the game. Usually by the winning team so as to disrupt the flow of the game.
I think it’s one of those things you think “great”’when your team is 1-0 up in. 95th minute , but hate if you’re 1-0 down. Within the rules , what can you do, although I don’t know if some refs stop the clock.
You add 30 seconds for a substitution. At least you did when I was a referee.

The 1st clip starts with


"Well you don't see this often, it's 11am and it's full"


So even the fans don't normally want to go!

I think 'highlights' is pushing it a bit. A half hour 'bits where people moved' programme, I could understand.

Crickets a great game, it is exciting and I don't have to be drunk to enjoy watching it. Even a 5 day test.

Six and out.

Cricket is like a game of chess but played on grass. A duel between two teams taking many variations and moves into which a lot of thought is placed. The weather, the pitch, the state of the ball, where to place fielders, which bowler to use.

I once tried to explain cricket to an American.

I've had a good innings with punning, but you caught me on the back foot when you slipped that one in, now I'm creased up with laughter.

I hate when you take your car for repairs, and the mechanic moves the seat backwards but doesn't tell you or put it back where it was.
So you drive off, and when you go to shift up, you can't fully depress the clutch pedal. Really grinds my gears!

What bugs me is when you get a car MOTed, and they do up the rear seatbelts.
