watching cricket - being a scotsman

xstrathyx

i have to say it pains me to say England are ripping the Aussie s a new assh*le in the 2nd test. England are almost 200-0 which beggers belief.

Its hard for a scotsman to give credit to anyone, but to be honest, i take my hat off to the england cricket team, they're sticking it up the aussies lol.

222-2 now! Cook 95, Bopara gone on 18, both LBW.

Blimey! That is rare for a scotsman to wish England luck!
Listening at work and tea couldn't have come sooner....it seems Pietersen doesn't really give a sh*t and is playing like a bit of an idiot! Need Strauss to calm him down over their cucumber sarnies!

to be honest, i have nothing but respect for my english cousins. lived there for almost 2 years a few years back and was always made welcome.

I am not your stereo typical scotsman who resents everything english.

Besides it makes me smile no end when the Aussies are getting pumped. They like South Africans feel they are a better race than many and are considered arrogant! (and thats from personal experiences) not a brash statement!!!!!!

quality quote from the BBC and i can see the similarities

"Good knock from Bopara there - one nice cover drive then out. It's almost like having Vaughan back"

The BBC text commentary is class!
I hate the fact that SKY have the test matches....feel strongly that the ashes should be free to air - but thats the world we live in.

Oh no...Pietersen out...doh!

xstrathyx

here goes the english obligatory collapse!!!!!!!!!

FFS Pietersen out!!!!!!!

I think the whole world is united in loving to see the Aussies get spanked!

cee

as a scotsman, you have no business watching cricket.....go out and ride your bike.

xstrathyx

wouid be out on bike, if i didn't have a driving lesson at 5pm...!!!!! just killing time at work, watching the cricket on skyplayer, the golf on BBC and randomly surfing through the bikeradar forums lol
