> [@truthSeeker2](#): > > Found this hilarious Cricket commentary clip: > [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AJVXo0Z7CU](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AJVXo0Z7CU) The funniest thing about that is hearing two of our antipodean cousins searching for euphemisms. A natural aussie reaction would surely be… “christ, he’s smashed him in the nuts! that nearly had his cock off!” They did well to fight that urge. ---

> [@bldysabba](#): > > I’m curious. What brought about the interest in cricket, if you don’t mind my asking? A combination of things - mainly, an interest in “esoteric” sports, and Douglas Adams’s book _Life, the Universe, and Everything_. ---

> [@lisiate](#): > > Did you catch Chris Gayle’s ridiculous 30 ball century? I only saw a brief news item but it looked like the ball was coming onto the bat in that game . Yeah I saw. Agreed, the ball came nicely onto the bat.😃 he has to be in top 3 T20 batsmen ever, right? It was office time here (5pm-6pm), my brother was watching in cafeteria at his workplace. He gave me a call to ask whether I was watching, I was already watching at home. I remember McCallum’s innings of the inaugural IPL as well whose record Gayle broke. > [@Novelty\_Bobble](#): > > The funniest thing about that is hearing two of our antipodean cousins searching for euphemisms.

N also the laughter in the background(I guess its Craig McMillan) is funny. Simon Doull seems particularly pleasant and soft-spoken person frm whatever I have seen of him. ---

> [@That\_Don\_Guy](#): > > A combination of things - mainly, an interest in “esoteric” sports. That’s much how I feel about American Football. I try to tell my Aussie friends that the Super Bowl is about more than Janet Jackson flashing her nipples, but they refuse to listen.
