I'm hooked, loving it! Come on England!! :)

Yes looks very promising ! :-D

Agh.......................you are insane......................

The paint will be dry soon..... far more interesting LOL

Oh, is that what it is?  I've been wondering why all the men around here seem to be talking in a foreign language...

Absolutely riveted!
Cricket..boring? Have you seen what passes for TV these days? :-)
Jeff.

Must admit, it's BIG over here of course.  I have become quite patriotic over the last few weeks! lol

I don't mind watching most sports on TV though to be honest.  Though... ahem it's FOOTBALL fellow Australians... not soccer :-) (kidding!).

bleugh sport, should qualify playing one thing but watching????

Well soem peopel think the same of dog sports/showing so different strokes.

>Have you seen what passes for TV these days?

Cricket - even 5-day test matches - is waaaaaaay more exciting than any reality TV or talent contest!

> should qualify playing one thing but watching????

I do both, so I'm immune lol :-D

I love watching Cricket but unfortunately it was one game I could never master, that said I find it much more interesting than football but perhaps that is because we did not play "soccer" at school. As far as dog showing is concerned is it a sport or a hobby? Or is that another thread? :-)

I would think anything with a competitive element would e sport, off to consult dictionary.

I would consider sports a sub group of hobbies.

Well Free dictionary definitions that apply:

Sport
1.
a. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
b. A particular form of this activity.
2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
3. An active pastime; recreation.

I would consider showing dogs (it's more Active as Bowls or Golf), and especially Agility and Freestyle/Heelwork to Music, Obedience etc as 'Sport' as all include activity.

hobby
n hobby [&#712;hobi]
something a person enjoys doing (usually frequently) in his/her spare time and not for pay Stamp-collecting is a popular hobby.

My Dad who is 82 is glued to the tv watching the cricket and its  driving my mum mad.
Im not a cricket fan myself but i think if anybody likes something thats interesting to them....good luck to them.
We are all different thank goodness.

ABSOLUTELY RIZZLE DIZZLE!!!!!!

I have been driving OH mad all weekend as I kept checking the score / listening to the radio etc :).  A series like this is why test cricket is so brilliant even when you know England should win and the aussies would have had to set a new record to win when Ponting and Hussey were batting I was on the edge of the seat wondering if they would do it.  Nothing can beat test cricket for that sort of excitment :)

Whoop whoop whoop!! Well done England, who'd have though it! :)

Can't stand cricket.

See, as much as I love dogs and I come alive around them. I can also be a miserable grouch!

love
