I like them both which makes things easy for me as they rarely coincide with each other.

Aren't England doing well today though :p

The only think I like about non-american football is to watch the players pretend to be in agony when they get hurt or kicked, and even sometimes pretend to be in agony when they didnt even get hurt or kicked...

England were lucky to hang onto a draw in the first test

This test England are on top, 200 odd runs ahead after the first two innings, could have made Australia follow-on but decided the pitch was too good for batting (that or the fact Flintoff isn't fit) and are now batting; today is day three.

yay... Cricket is the most boring "sport" ever. Make that the second most boring sport ever, Football will always come first.

I concur, except (obviously) with the [-]part[/-]

Oh, and don't forget to watch la Tour de France !!! <--- filled with doping taking idiots, who apparently all have severe astma yet they succeed in riding a bike for more than 2 ft... :thumbdown: |--> don't forget the Belgian vedette, Tom Boonen, who has been caught with cocaine for the third time now... was banned from TdF, but sued and won xD

England better not throw away this test, after all the good work done.

[nosejam]

Sorry for double post but England just won the second test to go 1-0 up in the series.

Don't leave us Freddie!!!

The sellout crowd at Lord's cares, the Queen was there (not sure she was there today) and she was enjoying it; and most importantly to me, I care :p
