Cricket question - What a crazy game

[bluebastardo]

Why is it, that a fielder can sprint at top speed, do cartwheels and somersaults, dive at full stretch, or stand directly in a danger zone, all to catch a ball, and everyone runs up to congratulate the hairy assed bowler? :blink: If the bowler had been so good, the batsman wouldn't have been able to hit the ball in the first place.

What a crazy sport.

The bowler has forced him into making the reckless shot instead of playing safe or driving over the boundary.

It's like a boss free kick taker, well its not like so I'll sack where I was heading with that.

Exactly. The batsman was forced in to making an error.

Cricket is a boss game to watch and play.

Poppycock luvvy ( like the cricket speak there? )

The bowler can only take so much credit. The rest is ludicrous to credit the bowler in the way they do lol.

Most fans wouldn't go if there wasn't a piss up involved and you know it.

It's the way it is lid. The catch wouldn't have been possible without the ace bowling.

Cricket's [Poor language removed]. It's what people 'focus' on when there's no football. Kids who played cricket were [Poor language removed] at football.

I hope that clears the point up for our American cousins.

To be fair, you can see why it's not the easiest sport to get into, you do actually have to have a clue to enjoy it really.
