MONKMAN Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Over the years I’ve worked with a few people who’re into Formula 1. To a man, complete weirdos who should have their hard drives seized and forensically analysed as part of the yewtree investigation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I imagine (other than it being played by posh English folk) the main reason people don't like cricket is because they've only ever seen test cricket, which can be incredibly boring in fairness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Golf's problem is that the format is shite, that's why the Ryder Cup seems so exciting. Any supporting competition can be watchable if the right parameters are set.The last couple of years I've got pretty into basketball from watching Serie C Gold in Italy, having only nodded passively at a few games in the Mariner Centre previously. Seeing Zalgiris in the Euroleague is one of my top ten sporting days ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. Playing over 5 days and ending in a draw is not worthy of spectators. Whereas playing 50 overs each at the Grange and Scotland setting a world record runs total for a ODI and beating Egoland in the final over...now you're talking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I agree with Mixu in that Kournikova was wildly overrated. Still a mega wid though, just doesnt match up to the hype that surrounded her. There have been better looking tennis players, Sharapova, Ivanovic, Hingis and Bouchard being examples off the top of my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Martina Hingis looked like a pehntir and decorator that smoked 30 a day. Martina Hingin'. She was tidy, and actually talented. Although outwith Tennis, the tidy and actually talented crown goes to the amazing Victoria Pendleton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some passages of Test Cricket can be eye bleedingly boring, but a T20 or ODI when England are playing Pakistan is hard to beat for atmosphere & they are usually great contests. I, for one, would like to be in the room the day someone calls Ben Stokes a posh Englishman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why people don't like it, but for me, test match cricket is the pinnacle of sport. 7 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: Possibly.

Whereas playing 50 overs each at the Grange and Scotland setting a world record runs total for a ODI and beating Egoland in the final over...now you're talking. The bold bit didn't happen. It was a cracking game though, and Callum McLeod's innings that day is up there with the best I've witnessed live in the ground (it does have to compete with a Graeme Smith 150 along with Joe Root and Steve Smith double tons, mind). It was also the first time an associate nation had beaten the world number 1 team. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the best looking in their field, usually fit and well turned out, so they look good in their context. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the T20 world cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
