That's just not cricket!

Apparently the English cricket team have gotten a little confused over how to play the game of cricket.  It is in fact a gentleman's game, where fair play overrules dirty tricks and you're all winners at the end of the day because you get to share a cold pint of beer after the match, with a "horrah, jolly good show, old chap!"

So where this complete moonunit got the idea that tackling your opponent to prevent them winning the match would be even in the remotest parts of Africa acceptable will forever be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of man.

That's just not cricket.   We expect this sort of behaviour from those bloody Aussies, but the Queen's team?  Oh for shame, for shame.

I've never seen cricket played, and therefor don't understand it. But, I have a feeling, it's not violent enough for me. Now, rugby, THERE is a sport ; )

One can only apologise for the miasma that over came the england captain. To be fair he did say sorry. Plus I think the overthrow may have been an act of contrition rather than poor fielding. So Kiwis win and no harm done. Pint anybody :O)
