Cricket for Dummies

[Stapel]

Off topic Stapel its obvious your a cricket fan and im guessing atleast your dutch. Are you like a British ex-pat or Dutch born? Is cricket very big in the netherlands? I know you have a team.

I'm Dutch and if there is any non-Dutch ancestry in my family, it is German.

During the 1993 summer I got bored an zapped around on the TV. Apart from a documentary about the Belgian King, who had passed away, there was really nothing on it. Except on the BCC, which broadcasted a large green field with dudes in white clothing. I watched a lot of it, but totally failed to get it. In 1995, I was in London, and some-one was kind enough to explain the game in a pub (where, of course, cricket was shown).

When the BBC lost the rights to Sky, it was all over for me, until the 2005 Ashes. That series really got me sucked into it. I started playing cricket myself only last year.

@CH:
Basically, I supported England for underdog reasons.

@Elta,

That's cool news! Once playing it, you'll get the idea soon enough.
