It's cobblers

Boring nonsense

The west indies knew how to play

Those days were good

Out of curiosity, how many things from yesterday do you now find to be a load of cobblers?

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

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

agree used to be nailed to the TV watching test cricket as a kid and the West Indies/Australia were box office stuff back then

My favourite player who I regard as certainly the best fielder of his generation and wasn't a bad batsman either too !

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.

Anything other than 5 day cricket seems like football's equivalent of 5-a-side. It's funny how the short [and even shorter] game is perceived by most as being more 'interesting' and less boring. I remember when I started watching County cricket and then Test Cricket on TV and my dad saying 'there's always something going on'. A change of bowling, change of field positions, bowlers trying something different, all the myriad of different batting strokes and balls bowled. The match going one way, then the other. The short game[s] are just the same old boring, defensive bowing, with a slash at anything that is slightly off target. Lots of runs and hitting, but bores the life out of me.
