1001 Things You Love about Cricket

[Leicester Fox]

75. beer snakes.

Even if they ban them in England because the stewards are joy killing knobs. As everyone was singing last year, we're not there to watch cricket.

Looks crap atm though. I'm normally a big fan of Sir Jimmy's hair, but in his past 2 tours it's looked crap. He's let it grow way too much, always looks better when it's shorter, in the English summer for example he looked awesome. Not as good right now. Get a haircut Jim!

81. Winter Nets Nothing better than preparing for the Season with a few net sessions, Feels so good to be playing Cricket again after a long time.

 

[King Pietersen]

Ah yeh, I love abit of Winter Nets, got my first session tonight, canny wait

82. Getting new equipment. There's nothing better than ordering some new equipment and having it turn up at the door, then showing it off at nets, especially good with new bats and gloves. I love buying new equipment, I've got way too much stuff. I've got 4 pairs of gloves (2 pairs of Woodworm Premiers), 3 sets of pads (2 sets of Woodworm Premier's, bloody duplicate order that I couldn't be arsed to send back), 2 thigh pads, 3 bats (2 of them shite), am on my 2nd bag, and I need new spikes (will be buying the new Adidas bowling boots) and a new helmet, but they're abit too expensive to bother buying atm.

84. As a spinner, I don't need to be agressive, but bowling my quicker one and cracking the bastman in the head is a pretty good feeling.*

*Only to be attempted having batted first.
