Not true... but don't let facts get in the way of your narrative Birdy.
Sorry Sol couldn't resist. 
Seriously though. I don't go on every cricket post to say how dumb a sport that is.
The beauty of cricket compared to the ugliness of 'catch for mutant joggers'?
You are beyond redemption.
+1 though.
Cricket is a truly wonderful thing.

Never got into Cricket.
But I don't mock those that do, same with any sport.

Isn’t the enjoyment of sport a purely subjective and personal thing? There are millions who hate football yet we’re all on here most of the day.
There are sports I like and sports I can’t stand, but something I will never understand is people’s need to click on a thread called “Rugby” or “Cricket” just to tell people they have no interest or even actively dislike the topic being discussed. I mean, isn’t that the height of narcissism? To think that people need to know that you have no interest in a subject?

Of course.
But there's another agenda here. Apparently a bloke lost his missus?
I can't stand horse racing for instance but I've never hijacked a racing thread to say so. There again I've never had a partner nabbed by a jockey.

They were already with a jockey, that’s why.
Ah! Fuck! Good point!

So you tell everyone.
Time and again.
Time and again.
Seems like an obsession.
He lost a good woman to the sport.
Be sympathetic.

Just to let this rest, I have never lost a girlfriend to a rugger bugger....but believe what you will.
I quite like rugby league but am not a fan of union.
I understand that it is the peoples'game in Wales and parts of France.
I have Welsh mates who are truly passionate about it.
In Wales they come out of the mines to play it as opposed to the Range Rovers.
