[It Just Is]

“Banter” is Australia’s equivalent of the Fifth Amendment, granting automatic immunity from even the most grievous accusations. Calling a player’s wife fat? Aw, banter. Homophobia, sexism? Aw, top banter. The systematic extermination of Australia’s indigenous population between the late 18th century and early 20th centuries? Aw, banter and smallpox, mate. Banter and smallpox.

Such a soft and daft sport that the calling of names is the toughest part of it. Maybe if they were actually exerting themselves they wouldn't have the energy for 'banter'.

oOOH NOOO NOT THE SUN!! aaargh! How often is it 40 degrees all game? Don't they stop for tea and sandwiches and water breaks every five minutes?

With helmets, pads, etc. not a problem.


Soft as shit.

BTW that is the sport, not Trott. I am sure his issues aren't related to the ponciness of cricket.

According to my mate Frankie Boyle in Scotland cricket is a martial art practiced by hermasechsuals.

Nope!
It was just awful. Baseball is far better.

 

[Schulzenfest]

You've now totally lost my support in this argument. Baseball is what would happen if somebody took the game of cricket and decided it wasn't boring and soft enough.

Baseball is the game that fat blokes came up with when they decided they were too soft for cricket

 

[_Christoh_]

Not Kenny Powers though, nothing soft about that all american hero cos he has been blessed with many things in this life: an arm like a damn rocket, a **** like a burmese python, and the mind of a ****ing scientist.

 

[Macca19]

Baseball is the most boring sport on earth. BY a mile. Unwatchable.

The fielding in baseball is real crisp. It's just a shame they never hit the bloody ball!

[Trewth]

He was 100% correct up until the Baseball part

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Would be awesome if it was the T-800 from The Terminator and he could spell. Dammit, so close.

Also, back a bit - The Love Guru is awesome. Not sure why people hated it.

You are all thinking of American baseball.

I meant Welsh baseball.

No pads, no gloves, no helmets and if you move off the pegs to hit you are out, so you have to stand and stare down the ball.
