Master of Bassets...and not much else

Hey if you're gonna go, go in style buddy

 

[Alamedean]

over the fence on the full is 6 [runs] with no actual running required. Hit the fence after touching the ground is 4 [runs] with no actual running. If it doesn't hit the fence they just run between the stumps, no bases like baseball, just one length is 1 run

baseball is alien to me, so is hockey, so is golf

gridiron is at least based off the same roots as rugby league, so it is much the same rules

Thanks Doffy! I now know more about cricket from that one paragraph than I have accumulated over the last 58 years.
Let me know if I can help you understand golf.

Soccer has just started booming here in the last 5 or 10 years. So, so long between goals.

Nil all draw? ...

I like aussie football. Similar to gaelic football, none of this padding and helmets the sissy american code uses

In football (our football) quality matters equally as quantity. So yes it's about scoring, but it's also about style and passes and dribbling...etc.

Used to be a 7 handicap but now I'm like a 10-11 since I don't play as much as I used to. First thing that goes without practice is the short game as you probably know.

One thing that's still a mystery in the universe is cricket. Never understood how the hell they score in this game, granted never had the interest to learn but it sure as hell is confusing. They play for days and the score is like 256 for 1

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

Well, you may not have any nicotine in your juice but you got something there and I want what you got!

Now that clarifies things nicely T, thanks

It's hopeless. I'll never fit in a country where this is the main sport. [emoji26]

Actually in the UK cricket isn't the most popular sport, that would be India. Those guys live and breath cricket

 

[Doffy]

depends what state you live in here

queensland and new south wales are mostly rugby league

pretty much the rest aussie rules football

cricket in summer, but these days people only really care about the ashes or boxing day test. kids watch t20

the refugee types watch a-league soccer [and set off flares at the games]

 

[supertrunker]

Cricket in the summer gives one a break from the soccer hooliganism that we enjoyed in winter.

all i know about uk soccer is there is really only about three teams that ever win, but apparently this year a bit of an outsider did from memory

 

[supertrunker]

Dave in Leicester's team won it, and the entire city went deservedly mental. Oddly enough there are 2 guys at work that support English Premier league teams - although they are both Americans.

One supports the blues of Chelsea and the other the reds of Arsenal. The rivalry has reached such a petty stage of bickering that one painted the others stapler the colour of his team!

Boys will be boys.

I can get into a soccer game just walking past the tv, love to go to games, all 5 kids played it so I got to watch at least 5 games every weekend. Pro games are so much fun. Pretty much evry other sport, MEH!

BTW, we are back home and almost settled in. No water got into the house and hubby has well and septic back in working order. YAY!!!! I feel really bad though, neighbors up and down the street had water in their homes and tons of stuff is sitting out to dry. Piles of carpet torn out (if they would have asked me I could have told them carpet is a terrible idea here to begin with)

I postponed my trip up north so I'll be there this coming Saturday bee and we can decide a good time for me to invade the hive

 

[supertrunker]

i do hope the well and septic tank are different.

Bet you're glad to be back home, ready to steam to death this coming week. Ever optimistic me.

Already steaming T, it's the air you can wear and it has this pleasant chitty aroma to boot!
