I have restricted mine to ones I saw. Skully looks like he misread the post I made about opposite team players knocks.....

Nah, didn't misread, just thought I'd make the point about you adding pointless large knocks to your list.

And Vikas, sorry to hear that you've never experienced the thrill of a day's live (at the ground) cricket. I vividly recall the first time I can remember going to the cricket with my Dad (I had been previously but I was too young to appreciate or care about the great game).

We walked into the SCG and I was absolutely jangling with excitement (I was about 8 or 9, I think). And the thing that struck me was the roar of the crowd (the day's play had already begun - the only time I ever got to a day's play after 11.00 am) and the masses of colours on the SCG hill. I had to blink because my senses were somewhat overwhelmed.

I have had many days at the SCG since that day and just love it.

There's always the Pussycat club . . . Not that I'm admitting anything . . .

But the smell of kitty-litter makes me heave.

How about phone sex?

F*ck off. I was involved in two threads turning shit last week, none the week before and none the week before that. I'm liable to piss off from this place now, in a stress. Oh, no I'm not, I'm not a sook like your good self.

I can feel another Heineken Challenge coming on.

There's no bitching going on here, you silly wozzie . . . pull your farkin head in . . .

Problem with cricket in places like Mumbai is that when the big international matches come, most of the tickets available to the viewing public [after close to 60% is blocked for politcians, celebrities, club members, corporate quotas and a host of bloody rich swines], the public tickets get wiped off within 2 hours and a good 90% of it ends up within a couple of hours for sale in the black markets with pimps who make a killing charging twice or thrice for it.....

Too much hassles in getting a proper ticket. Then on match days, mismanagement ensues. Geniune ticketholders do not get to enter the venue sometimes. A couple of years back, people holding fake and forged tickets broke in and genuine buyers were left high and dry outside by the gate security [Was it durin the England series or Champions Trophy?] Too much problems over too few sold to genuine public. This is what I hate about excessive cricket mania here. It becomes a free for all.

This does not even consider 1 hour of travel by overchoked public transport and queing up for a half a day to get one's hands on a ticket that isn't sold out.

Much better to stay at home and ensure you don't miss anything.

Yup, getting tickets for intl. matches in India is hell, if you aren't famous or filthy rich. That's another way the IPL is good.

I don't think there is any doubt whatsoever that you get a much better view of the game from home (hence I only see one day's live stuff per year), but I just love the atmosphere and the fun you can have in the crowd.

If you get a fine leg seat then I think you can get a better view than at home.

Used ti get seats to possibly the best private box at the Wanderers. Was directly in line with the test wicket so could sit on a bar stool with my elbows on a counter to steady the binoc's, the TV was about 4 foot to my left, and I only had to swivel around to get to the private bar.

Sorta ruined sitting in the stands for me.

And a fit Saffie bird to serve you drinks and rub your back - and anything else that needed rubbing. Sounds like a good day out.

Laxman's 281 is my personal favourite

closely followed by Tinu Yohannen 0* (3) v NZ at Hamilton.

Dictionary definition of 'grace'

there are many but if i had to pick one it would be sachins 98 off 75 balls against pak in wc2003.

it had been a long time since we played them, an awesome atmosphere, we had a chance to knock them out the cup and against an attack of waqar, wasim, shoaib...it signalled the end of pakistans dominance over us.

Then the theatre and tension as he built to the last ball of the day. Nein was already 40 minutes late for the evening news when he snotted Richard Dawson through point for a ton-raising boundary.

I would've loved to have been there. There was enough electricity in my lounge room to run a small town. Can't imagine what the atmosphere was like at the SCG. I bet they were still buzzing hours later in the pubs surrounding the ground.

Boy were we buzzing. After leaving the ground that day I went back to a mate's place and played drinking games.

It was the perfect mix of cricket and beer - the only thing missing was sex. But who cares about sex when Steve Waugh's scored a hundred off the last ball and you've put back the equivalent of 30 tinnies?!

Hehehe, wise words indeed Hass!!
