I’d argue with point 10 given that the nut-milk companies claim their products are many times more efficient where water is concerned, but they ignore the fact that the water that goes towards grass production is from rain, and not ‘processed’ water. I assume the insect-protein industry use the same slight of hand.
When was the last time you saw a runner?

It was a long time ago. They aren't allowed in test cricket are they? I don't watch county cricket only internationals of any format.When was the last time you saw a runner?
Just had a look and runners are not allowed in test cricket since October 1, 2011, didn't know that!!
I only watch internationals, i find county cricket dull, the same as rugby. 
The Nelson, a cricket term that has many reasons why, if i can remember rightly the best reason for it is the New Zealand team being bowled out for 111 at Nelson New Zealand. No idea what year but this is where it came about and is considered unlucky!!
That made as much sense to me as the How Cricket Looks for Most People video. Hilarious.
I decided to watch a rugby match the other day, i was able to kinda make sense of it.
Well, thank you @WAYNE for this thread, it prompted us to try and understand something of absolute 0 significance in our lives and we feel better off somehow. This morning we learned about Cricket (including the base rules), Test, Lord's, India's impact on the game, 1 day matches, T20 and the IPL.
Have you tried hitting a cricket ball coming at you at over 90mph in top class cricket. Players have been killed by it, the most recent was Phillip Hughes of Australia in 2014, he got hit by a bouncer that struck him under his right ear that caused a vertebral artery dissection. he was a left handed batsman. Since this there is now armour on the helmet that protects the neck, you don't have to use it but most do now.You have caught the gay and you don't even know it yet
Pah, when I was at school we were forced to play cricket once, I got LBW without shin pads and my legs are still thereHave you tried hitting a cricket ball coming at you at over 90mph in top class cricket.

I played a real man's sport for years... fastest field game in the world is hurling and you don't dress like fucking fanny on the way to church ... cricket is the ultimate ponces sport maybe only second to golf ... actually that's not fair golf is a hobbie not a sportHave you tried hitting a cricket ball coming at you at over 90mph in top class cricket.

There was an American interviewed at a hurling match and sounded a little shook ... he described it as a cross between hockey and murder
i seemed to excel at it
I remember playing rugby at school mid winter on a frozen football field, fucking fun that was!!Pah, when I was at school we were forced to play cricket once, I got LBW without shin pads and my legs are still there
Shinty in scotchland, where most still refuse to wear head protectionThere was an American interviewed at a hurling match and sounded a little shook ... he described it as a cross between hockey and murder
Well in fairness you lot ain't got a lot to protectShinty in scotchland, where most still refuse to wear head protection
.....that gives me an ideait's amazing how a full blown five day test match can sometimes come down to the last delivery.
Make every game just as exciting by just having the game based on one delivery and cut out the 5 days of wasted time
Yes watched the highlights from the first day earlier and I think we're in for a hard time.England got fucked over today.
It's such a flat wicket, there's no bounce or spin on the pitch but saying that Root took a great wicket with some movement. Washington was bamboozled by it, funny as fuck!!
