Cricket - Scotland v England

[Golden Bear]

Attendance for today's game reported to be 6000 - not a bad crowd by any stretch of the imagination!

It's a game I just can't get interested in - it bores me to tears in fact.

However everyone to their own, - some folk obviously like it!

I think the key is to spend just a very little bit time learning the basics - so you have a very rough idea of how a game is going. So, for example, in a Test match you have to bowl your opponents out twice to be able to win etc.

Once you know the basic rules you can start to pick up on the complexities and all the different factors that can affect a game and that's probably where the real beauty of cricket lies.

A Test Match is also another term for a beer fest.

Or the fact that England, or their media in particular, think that they are THE BEST, and expect to beat EVERYBODY in the world at whatever sport, yet in the one game they can really claim to have invented, they are pretty crap at it against the other test nations.
Mind you, I still love my cricket and could quite easily sit for 5 days glued to the T.V. when it's on, (just ask the wife )
