/patriotic.

I say the Kiwi's have a shot.
But after watching Australia spanking the living shit out of South Africa, I am a little concerned.

If someone wouldn't mind changing the thread title and dropping the poll I think this can be our cricket thread.

I love my cricket in the Summer. Any other time of the year and I'm not too fussed, but give me some awesome weather, a holiday, a couple of home one-dayers and a couple of test matches and I'm happy. The perfect excuse to watch telly on a nice day.

So New Zealand has just won the one day series, and today won the first of the test matches against Bangladesh. And it's been quite convincing but you can never be too convinced given Bangladesh are minnows in the cricketing world. I would love to play Australia again although they're easily the best team around right now.

Looking forward to thrashing England in a few weeks, shouldn't be too hard.

I'm a failure of an Aussie, cricket is one of the most boring sports to watch ever.

Though, extreme backyard cricket rips it up.

I dunno, since I moved here to the States I kinda miss Cricket... its the perfect Australian summer sport. You can be lazy watching it, drink beer and still follow it mainly because the pace isn't so fast you miss stuff in a blind daze.

There's something peaceful and idyllic about spending a hot Australian summer day on a couch watching the cricket...

Certainly sounds appealing with all this snow on the ground and all this sub - zero weather we've been having here in Milwaukee...

Oh yeah, Blain, backyard and beach cricket rule... especially if you own the bat and ball because then you get to make up the rules.
