Malinga is THROWING! (Cricket World Cup)

Oh please have a look, I'm sure he's throwing - but what do I know?

I'm watching the Sri Lanka vs Kenya match - is it available on iPlayer or Catchup so you cricket fans can check it out for me? It's really bugging me!

[Chrissie]

Sorry (((Scylla))) I don't have a clue about cricket

[Scylla]

I can't believe we've got no cricket enthusiasts here to edify me. Anyway, I saved the recording and showed Bro and he scoffed at me and said it was OK as long as he wasn't bending his arm, but I still say he's chucking the ball, not bowling it.

Wish I knew how to clip a bit out and post it I'm sure you'd be struck by it, Chrissie, even if you'd never even seen a bowler in your whole life

The gear they wear for the 1-day etc tournaments is yukky though

Jerry, apparently they're using cricket to calm down the gangs of LA

Sean, 30 years ago I used to come home from shopping on a Saturday afternoon and snooze to cricket commentary - that was when the commentators were classically educated and magic to listen to for their own sake

Hmmm....now you have me curious about that, Scyl.

[Scylla]

I heard a snippet on the radio a couple of weeks ago - their team went to Australia, I remember now.

That's what I get for not keeping up with the news, Scyl. I got tired of hearing about wars, murder, kidnappings, rape etc., but I also miss hearing the good news, too.

[Scylla]

I'm with you on that one, Jerry. I have deliberately stopped watching the evening news programmes cos I'm sick to death of financial and military mayhem and greed dominating our lives.

Scyl, I'm starting to believe that ignorance really is bliss. I caught a story on CNN today about how the richest 5% are getting richer, while the middle and lower classes are struggling to make ends meet. It makes my blood boil. >

Every taxpayer in this country has contributed £2500 to keep the banks alive >

Something like that anyway
