No, they drive me crazy when I'm.trying to sleep at nighy
I love crickets unless they are in the house but outside all them going at once is like a lullaby. Lol, Then the bull frogs get in on the action to change the tune. :sleep:

But yeah if the sport is anything like baseball it sucks to watch, alright to play though.

I love cricket , hope to see some friends out here who love the game too!
I love Test cricket (could spend all day listening to TMS but sadly the time difference in the States means I miss most of the day's play).

Sadly I care less and less about professional sports these days. Just too much money, hype, advertisements, idiots (pundits, players, coaches, etc.). But for many years following football, cricket and rugby were my only reasons for waking up.

You still live in Singapore, Ray? I grew up in HK.

Yea, I see the semis are on against the Windies. Good luck!

What do you usually watch? IPL? ODI?

Condolences, man! That's a tough loss.
And England in the finals too? :o

T20 isn't my cup of tea either.

I do love some spin bowling though. Murali, Warne, Swann, Harbhajan are some of my favs.

I'm from Australia so I love cricket .
Summer time here we get cricket 7 nights a week between the BBL and the international series .

You can't beat getting your mates together for a day at the scg, tossing a beach ball around drinking piss weak expensive beer but somehow still managing to get blind.

Whew. When he is on, Warner is unstoppable.

I haven't been paying much attention to cricket recently, what's the reaction to the pink ball?

The pink ball is here to stay I hope only as a once a year thing The first day night test was big crowds both at the game and tv ratings it enables fans to come after work which when a 5 day game is on it's going conflict with work.

The hot thing in cricket in Australian cricket at the moment is the domestic 20/20 Big Bash League all the major grounds are selling out night in night out .
