Cricket has turned bollocks

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

I loved the days of the west indies , Australia and India showing the colonial toffs led by Mike Brearley and his lot a good lathering

Kapil Dev , Dennis Lilley, Andy Roberts , all fantastic , ergonomic bowling actions

Collis King coming in at number 7 and smashing everyone around the ground

Pitch invasions by hundreds of rastas at Lords

Lovely stuff

Now it's all boring

I gave up on cricket years ago to be honest

Re: Cricket has turned bollocks

Aah those halcyon days of watching Chris Tavare taking all day to score 50, or Sunil Gavasker scoring 36 not out over 60 overs in a ODI because he didn't understand the rules. It was brilliant back then.
The crowds watching the touring teams were great though.

Tavare was a boring washed up old ponce

Re: Cricket has turned bollocks

I was looking at the England fixtures earlier this evening for this summer. It is just match after match after match. There must be an England game in one format or another from basically the week after next until the end of September.

The uniqueness of a test match has been lost in the circus of 20/20 and what now seems another longer format the 50 overs game.

I think there’s a case of going to the well to often. Such a shame as to me it’s always been my number one sport.

I understand.Being bored by cricket in the summer and the City in the winter is to much for anyone.

Turned bollocks? It's never been a game for the working class same as golf, tennis and countless other sports.

Re: Cricket has turned bollocks

Any suggestions for rule changes would improve it?

I'd like to see them trial a working lunch (you can eat your sandwiches but you have to keep playing).
