JimNZ Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 To the English cricket followers. Just had to write this as we don't get into this position very much. With the huge population of the UK they were all out today for a record yes, a dismal 58 pitiful runs, against a Country with only 4 million pop. With the All Blacks dominating the winter sport in Rugby, now good old Aotearoa bowled the Poms out (and it is their national summer game ) for 58. I believe they play NZ's blind meter maids next . guess who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 This has got nothing to do with flight sim and should be removed immediately. Congrats Jim and to all you cricket mad folks in NZ. A great achievement. The worst thing is that out of a population of 4 million, 3.5 million are sheep!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 ........and one million of the 4 million actually reside in Australia..yet we still can't beat the Allblacks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The England team are currently in alpha testing and not for public review. Further updates will be given towards the end of beta testing. Some "preview" shots were available earlier today on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNZ Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 You do have a great excuse JJaycee1, you're coached by an Aussie Bassman, then please stop sending them back by the plane loads, I mean they're the top crop of what we got we send them to you, we don't want them back, nor the other 30,000, I mean they're lovely young men, it's just they can't stop assaulting you guys, robbing your Banks and shooting a few of you too. VH-KDK ( oh goodness sorry completely forgotten your name, I know it too) We are crafty over here. Remember Shrek, the ewe that hid for 8 years from mustering, well we got more for her wool that way. Something you roo eaters would never have thought of. Bye meantime, good fun, thanks Orbx for allowing it. Jim and the above team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 As an American, I am in that minority of English-speaking persons who don't have a clue about cricket. Please explain: is it some sort of sport or a kind of deficiency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lot must be smart though, as you didn't get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I've stopped crowing about the Aussies, there was no morality in the ball tampering decisions and actions, and sheer stupidity in carrying it out so obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in England I never heard once heard English spoken with a proper accent. But you still have my affection anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 That's the beauty (or bain, whichever way you look at it) of English and, I must say England, that there is such a variety of of accents here. If you want to hear English spoken properly, the the more educated parts of Scotland is the place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently if you wish to read this in the correct accent, you need to be educated and from Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm beginning to understand. Cricket is like soccer--pretty much incomprehensible to Americans over seventy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickel Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Soccer is about the most simple ball sport in the world. Cricket, on the other hand... full of subtleties & nuances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickel Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Cricket rules: 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 outWhen 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 I can't understand what's so hard about that.
