im a big cricket fan. I used to love playing it when i was younger but never really liked watching it, found it to slow and boring, could never be arsed to sit there and really figure it out. All i liked when i was younger was throwing the ball and hitting the ball with a bat. But I watched the 2002(I think) Series England vs South Africa, really sat there and got involved. Now im completely hooked, once you understand all the tactics involved, the effort teams put in to get batsmen out, the concentration and skill batsmen have to use just to stay in never mind score runs, its just amazing. This series so far has definately been the best i've ever watched. 2-1!!! Bring on The Oval!

Squash ****ing rules what are you talking about, You've obviously never played. Maybe your eyes are too slow to keep up, tennis... tennis is great. Very tactical and fun. Tbh you can fu, you know nothing

Im inclined to agree with Jammin. Clearly you dont have a clue How the hell is Tennis boring?! They smash the ball to eachother at over 100mph most of the time. Its fast, exciting, tactical and a battle of endurance, tennis is amazing! You got a phobia of games that require a ball to be hit with a bat/racket or something? :/

I'm gonna stick up for table tennis here. Ok not really a spectators game, but we have a table in the office and play religiously every lunch time. It's great fun to play, especially doubles!

I've been tuning in and out each test - am not one of those people who can sit and watch for five days straight haha. And being an Aussie I have to say it's been one of the best tests I've seen, and honestly hope the Poms win the last test. The Aussies deserve to lose tbh. And the English team, man what a line-up. Will be a cricketing force over the next few years, some of the best talent you fellas have had in a decade or two.
But yeah, not that big a fan. hahah.

What would be really lame imo is if the good ol' English weather wins out and the game is wash out etc and made a draw. Winning the Ashes from the dressing room would be pretty sad. I'm all for the Poms winning the Ashes as they clearly deserve to, but to win them from a drawn match would suck. Kind of like a false victory.
Let's just hope we get some sunshine for the next few days over there hehe.

Yeah probably, but any chance for a dig at the home country. Really bad form by the Umpires though, on, off, making totally vague comments when interviewed.. some could be mistaken for thinking there's money involved! But I was more annoyed that it screwed with the possible outcome. They should wack a 6th day on the end! hehe. Hopefully it'll be fully resolved tomorrow
