Where did you find cricket on there? I couldn't see a channel that showed cricket.

Two hours until the Cricket starts!!
Is anyone else going to be watching/listening/interested in the scores?

>>>EVERYBODY knows that the cricket is more important than the ice hockey<<<
They're both silly games and not worth interrupting a game of pool to watch.

"Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" so far....
Excellent start turns into a worrying collapse. If a leg-spinner (even one of Warne's calibre) can do this much on Day One, either this pitch is not going to last or the England batsmen have been spendthrift.

Yes, but the English are on a winner here either way. Either we win, and are happy, or we lose, and then we can whine about how close it was.
Hurrah!

Or we can break into tears like Gazza.

Been following it on Radio 4 - it's not over yet but it's a pretty good game! Looks like it's going to be anyone's right up to the last minute. Crikey.

283 runs lead with only 35 overs left, the Ashes have to coming home now!!!!
I think it's down to the Outback Bar to help the Ozzies drown their sorrows!!
There is no such thing as a weird human being. It's just that some require more understanding than others.

Yay!! The game isn't over yet at 335 for 9 and a whole 22 overs left...
I don't imagine there'll be any celebrations in Oulu though.

Erm... wot?
I haven't got the faintest idea what that meant
There must be a website like "cricket explained for idiots" somewhere. Which would probably be the best option for me
Do you have any suggestions? I'd like to find out what the game is about.
