I like to watch Tests and 20twenty live, 50 overs games are a bit dull on the whole, though obviously there are exceptions.

Nothing beats a close test match though.

I love cricket.

I used to go to the Trent Bridge test every year. Loved it. Used to play as well.

It`s way too subtle for most folk to grasp whats going on but the coverage on TV is helping hugely.

But I am just a weak and feeble woman, and I am awaiting a big, strong man to move the cooker and washing machine so I can clean underneath.





There's only Adam here, so I've got a long wait.

Grab Adam by the legs, turn him upside down and use him as a mop.

Trent Bridge is my favourite ground .Traditional set up.I am lucky as I live similar distance away from Old Trafford,Trent Bridge and Edgbaston.

Ask Monster what happens when you grab Adam by the legs. :rolleyes:

Anyway, he's not got enough hair for that. :lol:

It's probably my abiding memory of being a junior playing senior cricket, you standing in the middle of the wicket setting your field as if directing traffic, as Stennys already fairly mad captain was trying to take guard.

Intrigue - over to Monster....

Final suggestion - get him aroused and use him like a hoover tool. (I'll leave you to judge how far back you'll reach).

I also like a bit of cricket, although for me, its not a particulary good sport live. Went to see Sri Lanka vs Pakistan a few years back in a one dayer, and it was a bit boring in such a big stadium.

I love listening to test matches on the radio though, its so soothing! I did loads of project work last year with the ashes playing on the radio to keep me company through the night. Its such a good sport for radio, what with the calm commentary, the fielding positions (silly mid off??) and suchlike.

On tv though, I much prefer 20twenty, just because of the excitement. Really got into the world cup this year, and there were some great matches!
