How can you not like Cricket if you're a geek?

Irrelevant Statistical Spot of the Day
Until the start of this match, Tait's career record for ODI batting and fielding was a binary geek's delight. Matches played 11, Innings 1, Not Out 0, Runs 11, Highest Score 11, Average 11.00, Balls faced 10, Strike Rate 110.00, Hundreds 0, Fifties 0, Fours 1, Sixes 1, Catches 1, Stumpings 0. Of course, he's gone and spoiled that for ever by taking part in his 12th match, although for the record, the binary number 1110111111001011000001110 equals 31430158 in standard decimal. Oh dear. For God's sake, bring back Murali and Malinga. We have far too much time on our hands when matches are foregone conclusions ...[/b]

It's laying on a grassy bank in the sun, drinking beer, that attracts me to the sound of leather on willow.

BARMY ARMY
BARMY ARMY

(in truth, that gets on my pip, about as imaginative as "Here we go, here we go" etc or "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" - little or no imagination).


GG, it's like sitting in the bleachers with a few beers watching rounders. Sorry, baseball. Good drinkup and a laugh with your mates, with some sport going on in the background.

Except in cricket it lasts all day (or 5 days if you're a real fan)...
