"I'm taking part in a cricket tournament tomorrow."

The sound of leather connecting with wood. The sound of fans clapping. The sound of that well known cricket music…well, actually Eye Of The Tiger when I hit a boundary. This all makes up a small part of the 20/20 Bar Hill tournament.

I’m not going to go into graphic details.
I hit 17 runs.
I took two wickets.
One kid took a hat-trick, (3 wickets in 3 balls).
5 people failed to even score a run.

Pictures.

You can’t see the look on the wicket keepers face properly. But believe me. It’s priceless.

I bowled out our cricket coach once while he was batting.
Oh, also our history teacher.

I like cricket.

You weren't wearing any pants? ewwww

You put celetbrating wicket and there is two people together and presumed one was the bowler and you were the bowler.

What? I wasn't wearing any pants...Oh, you mean the other blokes trousers.

:O The cheek of not wearing white pants. Where is the respect for the game. *shakes head*

You wish.

Yeah, but rugby doesn't come down to the quality of the pitch unless it's really bad. If you've got a pitch that has been churned up, to then hurl a leather ball down at 90mph the poor batsman isn't going to stand a chance if the bounce isn't true.

I was simply pointing it out that it's a stupid reason.

And yes, studs do damage the ground on dry days. But it's by far worse on a wet day.

Yeah.

Just like their studs do when it's dry.
