That marker is useful for lots of things; like writing a batsman\'s name on the ball or marking off the pattern the batsman\'s teeth are going to make on the ball. :D

I\'ve always wondered; why did the English invent an out door game that takes days to play* that you CAN\'T PLAY IN THE RAIN. Was it invented by people who were too lazy for golf but needed a reason to get out of the house? Something like \"lets invent a game that we can tell the wife we\'re off playing while actually we just get to sit in the pub waiting for the rain to stop. Oh, and when we do play I don\'t want to do much apart from stand around. Or sit on the sidelines waiting for my turn to play.\"

*and used to be played until one side won, no 5 day limit

Most of the countries who play it aren\'t noted for lots of rain during cricket season. Probably the reason England were so bad at it until this year.
:D

I mean, honestly..... ;) Just cause England has forgotten how to play football doesn\'t mean Cricket is cool all of a sudden. The rules don\'t make sense, the game takes ages and worst of all, the players aren\'t showing any leg! :D

In the vein of omglo\'l...do you exercise? lol

Sport is a marvellous thing, team against team, individual against individual...watch Dodgeball and you\'ll see.

Do I exersize? Hell yeah, swimming three times a week, and jogging, plus i go almost anywhere by foot, try walking into the centre of london from Stratford a few times, that\'s REAL excersize! Heh, but to be honest, watching sports is only fun when there\'s eye candy...;)

We\'ve invented or been the major \'player\' for loads of popular sports... cricket being just one triumph. We left the invention of daft sports to you lot :D

PS. Why is there a World Series for baseball when only you guys play it?

I\'m actually South African, but I live in the States now. In couple years when I become a citizen I can be a pale-skinned, red-haired African American. Yay! However, I do know why it\'s called \"The World Series\". The original sponsor of the national baseball tournament was The World newspaper, hence it\'s The World series.

Not that I watch baseball. Or American football. Or basketball. And even if I were interested in these sports, I don\'t control the remote. :)

Erm, that is a myth. It has been debunked. I\'m pretty sure I read it just the other day in a newspaper. I\'ll try and find out...

Learn something new every day. All the best ones turn out to be lies. Like the cigar insurance scan or the bricklayer injury report.
