For my fellow cricket fans (the sport, not the bug)

actually its like scoring 100 points in a 40 minute game

 

I missed it, quite impressive for a one day match. Actually, as the prince of evil pointed out, that would have been impressive for a full test match. That's like passing for 800 yards with 50 attempts and 8 touchdowns..

 

wait a minute.....Cricket has a fan base?

 

u never heard of India?

 

Or Australia?

 

thanks for the football analogy

or Hades?:rofl:

I don't take countries that have shitty beer seriously.

 

or Aussie rules:wink:

 

MB are you just saying that? be careful if you are using Fosters as your reference. It might be the most advertised Australian beer but not the best. I personally really liked the XXXX the best while visiting. I'll let the locals defend their beers though.

 

yeah...i'm just bustin' balls. How can i rag on a country that gave us Isla Fisher :wink:

 

Mrs SBC:rofl:

 

for the life of me, i can't figure out why she'd waste her "hotness" on that idiot.

 

Isla is Australian!!!!!?????? No Shit!!! I did not know that

 

Back to Sachin, He is the best batsman I have seen in my 30+ years of devotion to cricket.

In other minor cricket news, yesterday was my final day Captaining my team. We just missed the finals but had a great year. Top bunch of guys. They presented me with a minature cricket bat that they had signed as well as a case of beer and a bottle of Shiraz

 

congratulations on a good run. What brand of beer did you get?
