    Cricket!

    Up just after 6:00am. Put the radio on, Aus v England ODI. England struggling 6 wickets down with Buttler and Woakes batting. In an hour or so those two put Aus to the sword (100no and 53no respectively). It might be enough to win, it might not. But it certainly shows as far as I am concerned what a great game it can be.

    Won by 16 runs!
    3-0 up - small compensation, but better than another thrashing.

    Cricket is more skillful and the actual game is far more technical than most other sports...I played darts and was quite good at it, I still like it today but I can't get my head round why the bloody hell just because I do like it I should stand up with a bunch of braying jackasses...darts shot to pieces as a spectator sport...in my humble opinion...

    Amazing how some intelligent people make such stupid and crass comment about cricket.

    Back in the 70's when I was a kid the lads from the local council estates were usually the best players and the mix of kids playing in a match was a broad spectrum.

    We'd chalk stumps onto a wall and play with a plank of wood for a bat if we had nothing else.

    Such a skilful and technical game as well,no mater how hard I tried I could never get a ball to move one way or another,it's a real art form.
