Neither of you really understand the workings of cricket, do you...? You can't bet on the result of a cricket match by looking at the score at the end of the first day, FFM! There is no result until the end of play on Monday. Or until both sides have played two innings. Or unless Australia bowl England out in their second innings without troubling the Australians' first innings score. None of which can be predicted or even calculated based on the score at the end of the first day. It's like trying to establish who's won the FA Cup Final just by looking at the first 18 minutes of the first half.

It's insane!

For pity's sake, man, what are you? You're behaving like... like... like an American!

Shape up, man! Shape up!

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

To each their own. But cricket has nver been my thing. And I know plenty other English to the core guys like myself who dont like it either and nor understand the score. I do know some people who like it though. But it is fair to say its not quite as quintisentially English and as popular as those outside our border may think.

Hehehe. I'll never deny another man his right to profit, but I know that national pride means more to me than a quick win.

As for the geography. I used to LIVE in Headingley, back in 1979. No way did we think we were a suburb of ANYwhere back then, thanks.

Bloody city dwellers!
I'll let YOU argue that one with my wife! She's the one from Roundhay, not me!


The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Something I remember, when I was a lad, was that Headingley RUFC played at their Leeds ground, while Leeds RLFC played at their Headingley ground. Which, of course, is not the same Headingley ground where Yorkshire CCC play.

If only everything was this simple.
