Thomas,

Cricket is NOT named after an insect.

Cricket may also refer to:

Derivation of the name:

I think Thomas was reffering back to an earlier thread where someone made a joke about the insect and the sport and it flew (no pun intended) over some peoples heads.

I'm not a huge Cricket fan but i like the look of the Chennai Super Kings. How can a team with a player called Napoleon Einstein be bad?

Hi,

I am the naugthy guy from Cricket non playing France who made fun about the pseudo relation between the insect and the game...

Though, it is obvious because the Cricket game is played on lawn which is grass and cricket insects love grass !

It was also to remind our world wide SDN audiance that, what is obvious in your country may be mysterious in the country of your fellow SDN forumer.

That is also something very interesting in the Coffee Corner : confronting opinions and different cultures.

Sorry to disturb (in fact, not really) , once more the Crickets fans !

PS : No game is superior to Petanque !

Greetings,

Olivier

Hi friends,

did not know about Olivier's previous thread on the topic, just my usual sense of "humour".

I actually watched some cricket on TV during a vacation on an island in the Indian ocean and probably understood 7 percent of the rules after several days...

Feel free to run over my home football (soccer) team "Hertha BSC Berlin"

Cheers

Thomas

Yeah, run all over Hertha BSC, but speak no evil of Werder!!

I come from Hyderabad (and now live in Bremen, in case my previous comment aroused doubts) and like they say - you can take the boy out of Hyderabad, but you can't take Hyderabad out of the boy.

All hail the Deccan Chargers!

Hi,

What is this strange game ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9tanque

The first World Championships were organized in 1959. The most recent championships were held in Faro (2000), Monaco (2001), Grenoble (2002, 2004 and 2006), Geneva (2003), Brussels (2005), and Pattaya / Thailand (2007). Fifty-two teams from 50 countries participated in 2007.

Wikipedia tells me the wonderfully named Napoleon Einstein is a young Indian player with Chennai, surely with a name like that he's destined for big things.

Re: Cricket....Cricket

Former Member — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:45:24 GMT

Yes, He is a new find in the game in this format. He performed well in the recently concluded Under - 19 world cup Cricket. He represents Chennai Super Kings as Stuart rightly pointed.

Ravi

Bad luck is coming in different manifestations for Deccan Chargers of Hyderabad.

The other day it was Virender Sehwag's Blitzkrieg and yesterday it was sheer power hitting of Aussie spin magician, Shane warne with his unlikely batting prowess....

hope the Deccan chargers have something in the offing in the remaining matches atleast..

today is Mumbai Indians Vs Punjab Kings...interesting match, because both the teams haven't got started in the points table....

Hi Dudes,

Deccan chargers:Leader is the main problem for deccan chargers.Laxman is such a nice man..that he never like any team disspointed.

he is trying his level best for keeping other teams Happy..

First two mathces..The man who is not at all fit for one-days

(venu gopal) has been sent to opener..and then following the captian laxman as one-down..which is maxing the situation so pathetic.Afridi sending him at 6th oreder.in 20 game match what his palns only god knows.

ok first two mathces bad luck..but the third match..where thins seems fine..2 overs 21 to 1 over 18 runs..Really no team will loss the match generally..but the great brain fo laxman again comes into picute..he has given the ball to "MONKEY" who has been given 24 runs in his previous over(Includes 3 sixes form our test palyer Kaif + 6 runs)

.Monkey has bowled such anice the endresult every one knows..

but i dont understand one thing..iafridi who has given only 6 runs and taken 3 wickets previous over has been avoided and ball has given To monkey.....laxman hats up!!! cheers..the reason behind his paly is soon coming to picutres friends...wait and see...
