orion Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 18 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: I’d rather pinch some of Baldy’s pins than watch that dross. Could never understand people finding a sport like this entertaining. Most of the players standing around with their arms folded while the bowler takes what seems like an hour to bowl the bloody ball before the batsman gently blocks it, play stops, the ball makes it way back to the bowler (eventually) who then takes another hour to bowl it again. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam. Great “theatre” that. Do they still stop for “tea” as well? They need it to be fair with all that exerted energy.. Cricket is obviously a popular sport so I’m clearly missing something, I just don’t know what it is! Not knocking you or anyone else who loves it, each to their own of course. A good friend of mine loves watching Golf and will be glued from start to finish when the tournaments are on. I can understand enjoying playing it, but as a spectator sport? Never understood that either. Just not enough fast paced action for me. Lucky we do that kind of negitive analysis on Speedway ..scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My radar app has it raining there at the moment (2pm.) Not that much rain where I was. Now Sunny. Some more rain forecast (per met office), around 7pm then dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't suggest someone watch welly wanging if they ain't into it. I tend not to have any interest in any posh boy sports. Yeah, that is your decision. Just if you wanted to give it a chance one day then T20 would be easier to understand and get into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Might be a lesson to be learnt here. Cricket is, I guess, a very much take it or leave it sport.... unless you are a die hard fan of it. (Ring any bells). Yet, with the 100 it has attracted very big, happy, family crowds. It did it by reinventing itself to a younger, family orientated audience. Perhaps, it's the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Just looked at the radar predicted rainfall for the rest of the evening and it's showing light to moderate showers on and off for most of this evening. However seeing as this meeting is being covered by Eurosport does anyone think it will be called off after a little bit of rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
