Cricket, lovely cricket

[Sister Hyde]

yes, but i'll still get back on you for the "6 foot wookie" joke

[Monty]

Erm yes, ha ha, I was joking, yes Sir I was.

Monty

[Sister Hyde]

Sir??Keep adding....it's just arousing

[Monty]

Yeah, Wookies like that sorta thing.

Monty

[Sister Hyde]

Yeah, Migous too!

[Monty]

Talented.

Or a product of upbringing?

Monty

[Sister Hyde]

and what an upbringing I've spent quite some time in english schools and I've noticed they were the most sadistic schools of all (the students are terribly cruel to each others), that must be why brittish people are so good at being so rude and sarcastic while still sounding polite...

[Monty]

We are polite even when rude.

That way you aren't even sure if you've been insulted.

Monty

[Sister Hyde]

Yes, and it's all an art, i've found a lot of inspiration in the dryness of brittish humor.

[Steven Russell]

Cheers, sis.

I can't believe that The UN managed to actually crawl across the line and record a win! Especially when the last score I saw said SA needed something like 50 runs with 5 wickets in hand and plenty of overs to spare - they must have collapsed something shocking.

Almost as bad as The UN at the start of their innings - what was it, 15-3 at one stage? All out for 170 odd on a flat deck? I've not witnessed such blatant incompetence since I read Monty's last article!

Sister Hyde:

He may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but what Monty says is correct, and I would very much encourage you and everybody else to get involved with "charity bets" when the 2013 Ashes series rolls around.

Cheers,
Adam.

Well if I'm in the U.K. on that precise period of time why not.

[Adam Went]

Excellent, welcome on board!

What do we all think about the logistics of potentially organising, in the future, some sort of Ripperologists Twenty20 charity cricket match? Just gunna throw the question out there....

Cheers,
Adam.

[Phil Carter]

Hello Adam,

You mean "The Ripperologist Ashes" perhaps?

Right... we will start by getting the entire England T20 World Cup winning Squad interested in Ripperology.

Now, who do you have in mind to play that lot?

;-)

best wishes

Phil

[Adam Went]

Hey Phil,

Nah, can't include any current England players, that would make the game TOO easy for the rest of us - got to make it something of a challenge.

Was thinking more along the lines of something like a British Ripperologists XI vs. an International Ripperologists XI? All for charity of course, males and females could participate.....just something i've been pondering recently, would be fantastic if it eventuated!

Cheers,
Adam.
