Nah.. the Scots aren't big on cricket either. We prefer pub based games like snooker, darts and dominoes! :laugh:

England don't turn up when they play smaller teams.. they are big game raisers. still 10/1 to win the whole thing as well... I'll be putting something on that

I was wondering if the Irish members here were really into cricket. Yeah, we were shocking yesterday, Broad and Anderson bowled crap, 4 pretty easy catches went down, I cant believe they chased down our total tbh.

Fair play to them though, O' Brien's innings was amazing. Ireland's cricket team have pulled off some pretty good wins in the past actually, they bowled the West Indies out for 20 something back in the 60's :joker:

And cricket is NOT boring btw :nono:

But Cricket is mostly played by poverty stricken countries.
