Re: The Summer's Cricket.

My Mrs is English but just doesn't get cricket, or sport in general. She did watch some of the later England games during the Rugby World Cup in France in 2007 but even then her only contribution was...

Re: The Summer's Cricket.

I've got a PVR and did think about taping it like you say, although I did find the cricket plus production to be less than A1. During the first couple of Ashes tests they kept taking too long with...

Re: The Summer's Cricket.

SL continue to be in trouble at 177-9, although yet again it's raining. Tremlett doing the main damage, although Swann got a wicket in his first over for a change :)

Re: What is the main reason you applied for/obtained/want Canadian citizenship?

I understand what your saying. I do not make a deliberate attempt to stay British and I'm currently in my 4th year here I guess there is a long way to go. No plans to return to the UK other than for...

Re: What is the main reason you applied for/obtained/want Canadian citizenship?

3 reasons why I will apply for Citizenship early next year when eligible.

1 - No need to go through the hassle of renewing PR.
2 - Ease of travel into the US (for now) and having the duel...

Re: G*D D*mn Mosquitoes!

Re: Cricket World Cup 2011 Thread- Who will win?

Voted Sri Lanka. Think India have the best team on paper but their fielding is about as good as Monty Panesar with both arms tied behind his back. They have a lot of players to hide in the filed when...

Re: New Telus bundle...

Our friends switched to Telus 6 months ago and are very happy with the package and service that they receive. The issue for me is that they had to sign a 3 year contract - for that reason I am happy...

Can't make my mind up if the pitch did indeed have variable bounce like Hussey said in his interview or if he was just playing mind games, trying to put some doubt into the English batting. At first...
