The Last CaB post that made you GUFFAW out loud: The Thread

[Replies From View]

With cricket is it mostly the noises they all like?  Just wondered because in movie making they have a clapperboard that makes the exact same sound as a cricket ball hitting a thing, which suggests doesn't it that all movie makers are sublimating some kind of cricket fandom into their environment.

They just pretend to like it. Deep down, they know this.

You can take a joke too far you know mate.

Can't believe CaB is being gentrified like. Genuinely can't believe it. Thanks a lot, pancreas.

Not joking particularly. It struck me that the ratio of 'posts that made you GUFFAW out loud' versus 'cricket' in this thread had gone slightly askew in favour of 'cricket'. As it's clearly a popular subject, I thought I'd start a thread. About cricket.

[Ferris]

Some of us find cricket to be an overlong, dull affair full of mad, byzantine rules that no normal person could possibly enjoy.

Now if you don't mind, I'm off to post in my baseball thread.

[a duncandisorderly]

I can't see the difference between that & normal cricket.

[hillbillyholiday]

Neither can the competitors.

[Huxleys Babkins]

The stumps are mounted on a board rather than stuck in the ground. They've painted them white too, the trademark colour of blind people's sticks. Great attention to detail.

[Inspector Norse]

Is the umpire blind too?

I don't know what happens now if I post something from the general bullshit cricket thread in this thread, presumably CaB folds in on itself, anyway, Touchingcloth's cricket songs and chants made me laugh especially this one-

Three stumps in my field
That is how we cricket
300 years of hurt
Or however old the sport is.

[The Boston Crab]

That made me laugh.

[Alberon]

Is the umpire blind too?

Aren't they always?

I always thought it was grasshoppers. Or is it cicadas?

Took the missus down there last November to find he was on locum duty in Tintagel. Couldn't be arsed to drive another hour and a half to see him, so we turned around and saw the Quantock Frigwizzard instead. Not as thorough, but very reasonably priced.

I snorted twice.
