Ouch, our games tend to be Saturday and Tuesday (although some weeks it's just the Saturday). Occassionally they'll play more often, usually over the Christmas period and the Easter Bank Holiday :) Mind you that is a full 90 minutes for most players rather than having lines like they do in hockey.
I wonder what sort of result you'd get if the Habs and Hibs played each other in something that neither of them would normally do, like cricket.
For the life of me, I don't understand cricket :mark:
Not too dissimilar to baseball, although there are only 2 innnings for each team and in those innings you have 10 outs which can be got by catching, runouts (hitting the stumps when the batters are running, in much the same way as baseball) or bowling them out by hitting the stumps. It gets more tricky with other rules but it's fairly simple really.
And if you don't see the appeal, well just imagine getting really drunk at a ball game but doing it for 6 hours, 5 days in a row :beer: :D
I can attest to the value of that, especially in the Carribean.
At Port-of-Spain for about £8 you get a plastic milk carton thing, and with it you get unlimited refills of rum for the duration of the Test Match. This if nothing else explains why steel drums and guitars are playing non-stop throughout for five days.
I drove to a Pro40 game once, I felt jipped by having to watch cricket with just one beer for the day.
Cricket is a peculiar form of entertainment.
When you think about it though, so are football and motorsport. I mean 22 men kicking a ball, that's about as ridiculous as watching some cars drive about :D
the concept of driving to see a race is pretty strange as well. driving somplace to watch other people drive?!
Exactly. Incidentally the men kicking a ball did very well yesterday, unlike the Habs we are on a roll and after going 1-0 up, then 2-1 down we came back to win 3-2 :bounce:
