cricket with balls

Say what you want about 2020 cricket.

Underwear cricket.

Lubricated naked romping cricket.

Jelly Wrestling with pads on cricket.

Or something really disgusting.

Its format it does give you an amazing amount of close finishes.

And when a cricket match is close, no matter what it is, who it is, how it is, you get sucked in.

With the new ball to come for South Africa, and Haddin and North set, I should have been watching that test.

But while I only went to the India New Zealand game to get a score, the game situation sucked me in.

Next thing you know I am screaming at the TV, getting emotionally involved, and taking the game seriously.

Irfan’s inswinging demon of a yorker was cheere, his waist high full toss laughed at.

Brooms cut shot brought out some sort of unintelligble grunting noise.

And when Prince Brendon spliced that ball inches over Rohit Sharma’s ill judged drive I was standing in my lunge screaming.

Sure I wasn’t as emotionally involved they way i was as the Powell and Edwards held on, but I was yellings, screaming, and cursing at a game I only saw 5 overs of.

2020 cricket can be like watching a crap action film, the dialogue and plot may be horrible, but if it climaxes in the right way, you can still enjoy it.

Actually, maybe that makes it like porn….
