Bring it back.
Cricket is ace.
Now, hold this bat and defend yourself - and your stumps - while I throw this ball at you at roughly 100mph.
You'll work out where it's heading about 10 milliseconds before it shatters your ribs.
Or skull.

This'll never work they always work out the amazing speed of tennis balls being shot at and the speed of some footballer's kick.
All irrelevant.

And then clap quietly as the old people piss themselves
As one man bowls but no one gives a toss.

This is the other side of cricket, equally ace.
Stroll down to the ground on a Sunday, read the paper while nibbling on a variety of cheeses, cold meats, pickles etc, get slowly rat-arsed and occasionally contribute to a ripple of applause.

Well I'm not really too bitter. Though I was scarred as a lad by an old sod yelling at me for talking during one dull game at Headingley.
Rat-arsed is rat-arsed though I wouldn't mind that.

I feel your pain.
I was at a Warwickshire game roughly 20 years ago,
and a bucket came round. They were making a collection for Gladstone Small, who was retiring at the end of the season.
I said - too loudly - "What? Are they gonna buy him a neck?"
I was dead pleased with myself for half a second, until the chorus of tutting old men started up...

I had to search but arf!
I can only say I haven't really bothered with sport really. Cricket especially. The one game I went to never grabbed me but I suppose booze would make it miles better.

There's no pressure to actually watch the game.
Just get slowly trollied while pretending to do the crossword or something.

Well, you bring a book, obviously.
Behaving like a nonce is your own business.

Any sport where you can spend ten hours drinking while you watch it gets my vote.

No, this is a part of "playing" cricket
not spectating, I can drink and watch any sport.

"It died" would suggest it would not come back and we would never have to put up with this boring pile of bulge-rubbing wank
But I fear so

I thought the only way to keep the polar bear smiling
was for Brian May to write him a song

Cricket is an abhorrent "sport".
Cricket, Darts and Snooker can get shitted in the cunt and die.

At the cricket club I play at Kronenburg is £2 a pint
so you can stick that in your cunt and felch it.

Respectfully yours,
Kronenburg can fuck off too
Oooohh look at me with my £2 pint of piss.
I hate pricks and "their" cricket clubs. It's shite and so is their personality.
I'd rather be a bastard thieving student (with the ability to talk about anything other than the war and petrol prices) again and pay £2 in the student bar for a pint of Stowford.
I bet you read Bernard Cornwall books.
Fucking dull.
Kind regards,
