great picture Atheist! (snigger)


I found this specially for Gilliat.


You have two sides: One out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in, goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When both sides have been in and out including the not outs,
That's the end of the game.

Simple, huh? ;

Of course in proper cricket it isn't the end of the game you repeat the whole thing again. Unless there is a follow on, then the team that is out, stays in, and the team that has been out stays out.

Ok, here's the almost-completed playhouse...

...here's the result of the shaving!

(Warning for small children and those with weak stomachs!)

You are a brave man! Nice mug and playhouse.

Well...uh... I uh... think I'm just begininning to come to grips with this Cricket.
I now understand that the "Ashes" is the term used for the series played between England and Australia apparently derived from the ashes of burned balls (that sounds uncomfortable) in a terra cotta ash urn.

It's actually the ash of one stump which was burnt to signify the death of English cricket. It's also probably the world's smallest sporting trophy.

[The Atheist]

Just as well nobody watches that horrible one-day cricket.

[prendrelemick]

Looks like both of our Nations representative teams will be going through to the next stage, in South Africa.

Well played sah!

Your not nations, your abominations. The bad news is jocky's back, the good news is, there is no good news. Standards are slipping Atheist when mere Texans think they can take over. The 50cc Vespa remark has not gone unnoticed. Hey, what about the Tsunami? I waited up all night to see if N.Z. was going down, what a bummer! Did you miss me Prend?

A perfect explanation of the unexplainable, there is genius afoot here!

There is ,of course, another meaning attached to the Ashes, it sometimes refers to what's left of countries who Dubya and his old man dont like. This can be left to entymologists and historians for future debate. Is it true that Ozzy pissed in the Alamo? We are going through changes

[The Atheist]

There was actually a tsunami warning issued.

Everyone went to the beach to watch it, but it had gone after 3000 miles of ocean.

Great Scott; Jocky is back !!
I was afraid my seamstress comment may have been the last straw.

RE: Ozzy - yes, it is true that he soiled sacred ground and was soon followed by the bat head incident. (or was it a chicken head?).

Well played sah!

One down one to go.

[jocky]

As my old sergeant major said to me: ' Jocky you are going nowhere in life ' He was Nostrodamus like in his foresight, a week later I got posted to England. ' We are as flies to the Gods '.

[jocky]

There is no arguing with good old New Zealand common sense. Come on kids lets go and watch the Tsunami.

[Scheherazade]

Why not?

English still agree to play cricket matches with other countries' teams, don't they?

[jocky]

Let me state unequivocably, I take no pleasure in watching my neighbours getting thrashed and humiliated by their criminal anscestors. Some in my country may be doubled over in laughter, but Jocky is above this. Honesty is my watchword.

Not any more.

Atheist this is just a flavour of what is to come. You had better pray to all the Gods you dont believe in that your lot dont get their asses whipped by Pakistan tomorrow. Mind you, better that than getting humped by your Antipodean neighbours in the final. Life just doesnt get any better than this.

[prendrelemick]

I have nothing to say.
