Any Cricket Fans?

With the 4th Test of the Ashes starting tonight, wanted to check if there were any fellow cricket lovers floating round?

Jiminy Cricket is my favorite cricket

 

[Tubby23]

Did you post that using Cricket wireless?

 

[Crystal]

I like to watch T20 occasionally, but I've not had the chance to watch any proper test cricket and certainly not The Ashes in many years

 

[Tubby23]

I would assume getting coverage in the US is relatively difficult?

Sadly, yeah. It's not a particularly popular sport here

 

[Tubby23]

Is the current T20 league that's being hosted their receiving any local interest or is it all just ex-pats?

 

[Crystal]

It's got no real coverage here, at all, you have to buy a subscription to Sling to even get access to the channel to watch it, and those that are watching are few and far between.

I ate cricket while in Mexico. Will ask the restaurant if any of them were named Jiminy.

Stupid sport. No further comment.

Depending on the provider, Willow may be available. Verizon definitely had it a few years ago.

Yep, and I still play (but in the beer drinking league). I'm not watching the Ashes, timezones and not being Australian for why, but I keep up with the updates and chat with my English mate who lives here who does watch it.

Haha you're not that bad anymore

I also play, and have an unhealthy level of obsession having the Ashes is making winter fun for once

 

[Andy]

Would like to apologise for my previous outburst and state that I now enjoy cricket again

 

[Tubby23]

Haha, I thought I'd wake up to that.

Very good day for the English, hopefully rains for the next 3 days

 

[Tubby23]

@Andy I was close with the call for 3 days of rain. What a fizzer. Happy to retain the urn but would have preferred to win outright.

I think you would have done anyway tbh. Gives fans something to complain about though.
