cricket fans

Post by BournemouthRED »

does anyone know any die hard cricket fans? i was thinking, surely following england must be one of the most expensive hobbies ever. weeks in south africa, austrailia and beyond! i know cricket is rich mans sport but its basically a full time job following em, and im sure there are a group who go all the time.
its not like you ever get a nice draw against ajax and hop on sleasy jet is it! :lol:

I've met a few guys who always go to Australia, West Indies and South Africa. They go on one trip, save like mad and then go on the next one. There's also loads of retired folk that go away each winter, unless of course it's somewhere like Bangladesh.

Ireland fancy a go at test cricket so that could become the 'nip over on Squeezyjet' one.

Cricket is a game of great skill. Not like that over glamourised version of rounders. In the UK it's only women that play that. :roll: :lol: :wink:

I love cricket, a very skilful game, me and me dad used t play for our town but when he died i didn't play for 10 years :(

So my mates got me to play in a village game and I took my dads 35 year old grey nichols bat (all taped up at the bottom) out for one last hoorah, got 56 and was happy and sad in many ways.

Anyway better stop now, only girls cry...right.

Anyway the England travelling fans are called the 'Barmy Army' and are by far the best cricket supporters in the world and even ricky ponting (aussie captain) acknowledged this.

When they play in australia a lot of the grounds keep them apart in small pockets because they sing/dance/play a trumpet etc and generally make the atmosphere brilliant and they think this is an advantage to England so they try and quieten them down.

Fekin glad they are not from the emirates, you wouldn't have to split them up, thats for sure. :shock: :lol:
