Really?

What's Rounders?:redface:

A little bit of the rounders page from wikipedia :




Rounders is a sport which originated in the United Kingdom. A team consists of a maximum of 15 players and a minimum of 6 of whom no more than 9 may be on the field at one time. [1] The teams try to score points ("rounders") by completing a circuit of posts. The sport is very old and it has been documented as early as the seventeenth century. Baseball and softball evolved from rounders (see origins of baseball); the earliest literary mention of rounders calls the game "base-ball". The chief differences between rounders and baseball or softball are:

the rounders bat is much shorter than a baseball or softball bat, and is usually swung one-handed.
there is no foul territory.
balls and strikes aren't called, so there are no walks or strike-outs.
posts are sometimes used instead of bases made of stuffed fabric (but in school playing areas the bases are usually just painted on the asphalt surface)
the circuit of posts has a different shape – the final post in the circuit is not in the same place as the spot where the batsman stands
as it is today considered a child's game the distance between posts is much shorter (12 m) than the distance between bases in either baseball or softball.
Irish rounders is an Irish version of the game which is very similar to softball, the chief difference being that the distance between bases is 90 ft (27.4 m), as in baseball, rather than 60 ft (18.3 m).

A sport that can be traced back to hundreds of years before your nation was even founded is an imitation of a recently developed sport that it has virtually no similarity to ??

Yea... Ok

just kidding Paul..

I havent watched it much, except for highlights on Sky Sports, but it seems similar to American Baseball

In what way ?

I know that rounders was developed as an alternative to cricket... and baseball is a direct descendant of rounders... But i struggle to see the similarities between cricket and baseball... Barring the fact that in both games a man throws a ball which another hits with a bat i cant see any real similarities between them...

@Chxta - What is the English equivalent of the American sport of stuffing one's genitals into a shoe, manipulating said genitals until something funny happens, and hurredly replacing the aforementioned shoe before the owner becomes suspicious?

I don't know what it is, but I'll bet it's been around for centuries.

Of course ive played our national game....


If your talking competively... Personally i get more fun out of sports im good at....

I enjoyed cricket but wasnt particularly good at it.... A reasonable leg spinner and ok with a bat but nothing more... made the schools team...

Football however i was good at... as such i got alot more out of it


If your talking about messing around in the park... they're both good...

Though crickets not so much fun unless your batting or bowling.... Love the sledging in cricket though


A bit of classic sledging :


Glenn McGrath & Eddo Brandes:

After Brandes played & missed at a McGrath delivery, the Aussie bowler
politely enquired: "Oi, Brandes, why are you so fat?" "Cos every time I
fvck your wife she gives me a biscuit," Brandes replied.


Mark Waugh standing at second slip, the new player (Adam Parore)
comes to the crease playing & missing the first ball. Mark "Ohh, I
remember you from a couple years ago in Australia. You were sh*t then,
you're fu*king useless now".
Parore- (Turning around) "Yeah, that's me & when I was there you were
going out with that old, ugly sl*t & now I hear you've married her. You dumb c*nt".


Yet another Australian witticism with this time porky Sri Lankan
batsman Arjuna Ranatunga the victim. Shane Warne, trying to tempt the
batsman out of his crease mused what it took to get the plump character
to get out of his crease and drive. Wicketkeeper Ian Healy piped up,
"Put a Mars Bar on a good length. That should do it."



Fred Trueman bowling. The batsman edges and the ball goes to first
slip,and right between Raman Subba Row's legs. Fred doesn't say a word.
At the end of the over, Row ambles past Trueman and apologises
sheepishly. "I should've kept my legs together, Fred". "So should your
mother" he replied.


James Ormond had just come out to bat on an ashes tour and was
greeted by Mark Waugh....... MW : "F*ck me, look who it is. Mate, what
are you doing out here, there's no way you're good enough to play for
England" JO : "Maybe not, but at least i'm the best player in my family"

I, too, would rather play cricket.
But, then again, I am the guy who stuffs his genitals into shoes . . . so, don't go by me.

I'm sorry but the two are completely incomparable, and in fact the bit about me taking a piss on people is completely untrue - you're just jumping on Andy's bandwagon there, which as a mod you shouldn't be doing. You're supposed to be objective.

Hahahaha what a joke. That statement is about as worthless as Seven.

Greg stated himself what he felt about your actions at the time, yet you failed to respond to them in the Pope's thread (as usual). Therefore, he's not jumping on any bandwagon here...he's smart enough to form his own opinions and he's sure as hell right. The only person to not admit your actions were classless and lacked taste is YOU. And you telling Greg to stay "objective" is the most laughable thing I've heard all day long...thanks.

1. Sergio is, or was, one of the better members of this forum.

2. He left because an asshole named Seven made a mockery of 9/11 in this thread, two consecutive years in a row. Refer to this page.

I already did man...I talked to him today and he said he's not coming back. Not worth the trouble dealing with people who hate our country so much they have to provoke us on such a terrible day.

 

[Tifoso]

No political threads...

What we finally had to do at the Ferrari F1 site....

Tell him to reconsider, and to use the ignore button--otherwise the guy who would be that much of an a** wins...:down:
