Matt, the English cricket apologist and Minecraft Admin, has accepted the bet from Cindy, the heroine of Australian cricket and Forum Admin, to a bet on the Third Cricket test.

Cindy will write a poem in praise of Matthew if (Ha) England win the Test. Matt and his cronies will build a Minecraft statue of Cindy when Australia wins the Test!

So Minecraft will need more members to help him in this task. Join now as he needs all the help he can get.

Watch this space for updates.

Of course many of our USA brothers and sisters will be utterly confused on the intricacies of the game, so we will explain as the game develops.

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oooi Oooi Oooi!!

Cricket... I think I'm vaguely aware of that. Involves a ball and a googly doesn't it? I'm stumped.

Philistine! Hand in your passport before you bowl a maiden over!

Let the world greatest sporting event continue.

Have you thought what to wear and what accessories?
El natural?
Whips to keep the minions under control?
30 meters high. No feet here.

I'll stay conspicuously quite on this one! Never was a game I liked in the UK and now here...

So am I a Heathen, heretic or just plain  >:-) , Naa, just not one of my sports  :-\

May the best team win! Oh and I'd better support Aussie - oooi, oooi, oooi

It doesn't look like you're off to a very promising start, Cindy. Still, a long way to go eh.

I kind of miss cricket, especially the Ashes.

Australia starts with a tactical loss of wickets?

Early days etc. I really don't like the Strayan criggid team. And as for the C9 commentators!

Only another four and a half days to go! But there will be rain in the meantime....

I thought that was the standard England tactic :D

Isn't it some form of baseball or something.  ???


Good luck Cindy, Sorry Matt.
Hugs

psssshhhh everyone knows West Indies is the best team ever.

Ahh Australia has England just where we want them. Staring at victory!

<Cindy decides to start practicing poetry>

Yeah better start working on that poem, Cindy! ;D

Isn't cricket a type of insect?
You know, the ones that hop around, make chirping sounds and taste good with chocolate?

C'mon, I'm just kidding. I don't really eat crickets with chocolate. I actually eat them alive. :laugh:

I always liked the sound of crickets and locusts looking for  'mates' on a warm summers night.

Bugger!

How's the poem coming along, Cindy?  ;)  >:-)

See this is why I never follow any team for any sport. When they lose it's just too big a bummer. Them losing is always more humiliating and dispiriting than any fleeting moment of elation caused by their occassional win.

I was never a team player...

.....still two more tests to go!  :)

<Cindy files a legal suit against the Australian 'cricket' team>

Yes the poem is going nicely Matt!

Here is a start for you Cindy

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.Groop,
I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!

Brilliant!  We now have a Poet in Residence ;)

A Kiwi girl offers condolences to the Aussies on being robbed of victory,  :icon_bunch:

Jenny demonstrates her grasp of financial language! I take it that is in layman's terms? Where do I sign?

Yes, Vogon Poetry is considered a war crime

Broadly speaking, today's not a good day to be an Aussie cricket fan. Any fan of Australian cricket, be they a dude or a broad, is probably wondering what the heck just broadsided them.

I could give you a broad outline of what's just happened, but suffice it to say the Aussies currently have their tails between their legs. If I were an Aussie, I wouldn't want to be abroad on the Internet right now.

;D

I'm writing the poem! Oh dear, what has gone wrong? Climate change? Tony Abbott?

Ah the poms have an Aussie coach! It is a conspiracy I tell you!

Oh me miserum.

I pay my debts!

There was a young man called Matt
And cricket was his passion
His team played the Aussies
Who participated in a fashion
When the last ball was over
They went to down to Dover
And with any luck found the White cliffs
Then jumped over

Awesome.

Very good Cindy, and well played B)

There is the next Ashes series, in Australia I believe.

I will return.

Maybe they should replace the men's team with the women's - might win for once!! ;)

Hey sis - I thought I might help you out with a poetry demo... seeing as I do have an MA in creative writing and all that...  :P

A woman called Cindy one wagered she write
A poem reminding us all of the fight.
Heroic fine batsmen Australians too,
who though that the english were destined to lose.
Too late did she realise the depth of her folly.
The England team won without use of a brolly.
For once rain avoided the days of the match,
and worse england's fielders did not drop a catch.
It must feel quite hard when a nations pride crashes,
With england on course to reclaim our ashes!
