and yet - you still cant answer my Ashes' question ;)
What do you expect?....I was 3 years old!!!

Anyway...don't worry....I don't think you'll have much trouble winning this series going by present performance. ;)
 
Trinigordo:
I would just like to take a moment to state, The Windies will win the ICC World Cup in 2007. Gotta love homefield advantage and all that.
:rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3:

Don't mind him Almi......he reckoned they'd win the football too.

Wonky judgement if you ask me......

We nearly did, if not for Crouch's very effective "swivel the defender's head by dreadlock pull" we would have won it all. We were so close to winning the finals that it is disgusting ;)
 
Yet I still don't know anything, how am I suppose to learn about Cricket if you give up so easly? What about the three sticks and hurling things, and what does crikey really mean, and who care's if Bob is your uncle or what is a kip bag and how do I pack my troubles in one, or why do we drive on the right and some of the world drive on the left, and who is Matilda and why does she dance so much. and why would anyone throw a Shrimp on Barbie? She never hurt anyone but Ken and he was a Putz. And what are Tim Tams anyways?

You see I was really looking forward to learning some culture from this thread.

So what were these ashes from, a cremated local, a kangaroo, venomus duck? Did the water symbolize some time honored local customs, were the wicky things on fire?

I love sports triva. Just not a big sports fan.
 
:lol:

Glad to see you have a sense of humor over it all.

I will read what El Orans linked later and try more serious questions later.
 
Okay, I read through and now I am more confused. Someone needs to explain this game to me. Terms like bowler, and what are the wickects for and other stuff. I have to admit that as much as I want to cheer for the Australians, I tend to lean towards underdogs. (the poms) - why the poms?

it is strange how we are always saying what a small world this is and I don't think I ever heard of the Ashes. Lots of tradition, sounds cool. Who ever wins it should be interesting. Keep me posted.

So I need an answer

Q: Who was the curator who ordered the watering of the Melbourne Cricket Ground wicket during the rest day of the Third Test of the 1954-1955 series???

Current Score:
Australia: 0 (1)
England: 0 (1)
 
very easy to explain and happy to help!


"You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when
he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's
out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in
and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get
those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in
and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who
are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes
in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two
men called umpires who stay all out the time and they
decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides
have been in and all the men have been given out, and
both sides have been out twice after all the men have
been in, including those who are not out, that is the
end of the game!"

:D this does actually make sense to me!... think of it as gentlemans baseball ;)

will get to your other questions when i have a bit more time tonight as im in the office at the moment
