There you go.... Morrocan sportsnews. Not sure what it says, but it has something to do with some tennistournament somewhere. [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img]

Hehe Mouse, thx

But seriously, when i was a little boy and I first heard that there was a sport called cricket I was really confused.

For several years I kept figuring 2 teams of 10 men running after a cricket (the insect) on a football field.

Then when I grew up a little, I thought it was a cricket's noise contest.

And then...one day...I saw a cricket game on TV...and I was like : WTF it's just baseball... (oooh I m gonna be flamed for this)

Intersting. At first I thought it was the wrong match but then I realised that you have to read from right to left. I think they went a bit over the top in describing the Australian as a gibbering lump of sewerage!

Bah, be kind to them people, Masklinn, they are just welcoming you in their own barbarian way.

Funny, I thought cricket was the 'sport' Alice played with the Queen in the Disney cartoon movie, you know, with the flamingos ... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ooooh, I wouldn't want to be Leyton Hewitt right now... or ever in fact... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Nah what they play in Alice is "croquet" (in french at least - Crocket in english maybe ? *shrug* ), so it can be easily misunderstood with cricket

Despite all those "money hassles" though, there would be something good about being Lleyton - you would be Australian, and supporting the best cricket team in the world

Ah, I knew there had to be something! How goes the constant success thing by the way? Boring yet? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I know its not much of an insult, but when talking about cricket what can I say. I'll just reiterate that you're all crap at Snooker or something. And you're probably not very good at darts either...

And we probably beat you in the "International King of Sports" as well! So there! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
