Ashes 21/22....?? Classic.

We're not even playing the Poms ya numpty.

Bit of a cricket tragic now are you Mel?
I know, we're playing SA.
Just wondering if anyone is starting a boxing day test thread.
Not a cricket tragic at all. But I do like tuning into the Boxing day test threads. It's a tradition.
You start one.

Meli this is a sailing site and there's a pretty significant sailing race on that just starte. Who cares about Aust knocking over the SAffers inside 3 days?
It's odd isn't it?

She's got just about everyone on ignore but today wants to people to watch the cricket with her.

I predict it'd take about 3 posts before she calls everyone RWNJs, misogynists, or scolds them for enjoying Christmas or anything fun... then "poor me" for being picked on... Soon Rando & Ease would drop by, agree that test cricket is just a boys club & why doesn't wimmin's cricket get televised to the same extent and ruin the thread further, sucking any fun out of the conversation...

Rinse, repeat, its how she rolls. Or trolls...

Actually smartarse, I've only got 4 people on ignore.
Strange as it may seem, I like the cricket threads.
Watching rich men's boats racing? not so much.

What is a boxing day test thread?
I know what "boxing day" is.... But what's a "test thread"?
Live action commentary on the long game (test cricket) we play in Summer.
Last Summer we played England for "The Ashes" hence the thread title.
You ask this every year :0
No one started one this year. As someone just said, prolly not worth it.

It's accurate. Are there any non rich male or female boat owners in the Sydney to Hobart this year?
I didn't know it was mandatory to enjoy boat races on a sailing forum.
Anyway. Back to Aunty

I wouldn't know or care if boat owners are "rich", male or female.
I do know they provide a sailing platform for hundreds of non-rich crew, male & female, some with disabilities, LGBTQ, LW, RW and even Greens voters. Sometimes all on the one boat, shock horror! It's way more inclusive than the Boxing Day test match. So there's that...

Jump back over and follow a bunch of mostly white rich millionaires, in between betting ads, chase a red ball around in the blazing hot sun for 5 days.

Ok. I take it back.
I suppose if a bunch of male housemates can teach me to enjoy cricket,
I can enjoy watching the Sydney to Hobart
Just watching the start now. very exciting. I will be quiet and learn

Unless the SAffers can bat thru tomorrow it looks like my prediction of inside 3 days will be spot on.

Meanwhile there's still a boat race going on and last time I looked a West Aussie boat was leading IRC 🙂
