Congratulations to India :) I'm still not sure I like the 20-20 competition, but I'm willing to give it a go to see how it goes. One day cricket has certainly evolved into a complex tactical game from its early days as a slog-fest.

Isn't cricket that pansy-ass sport that rich people play? Or am I thinking of something else... it involves hitting balls with mallets through hoops stuck in the ground IIRC.

You're thinking of croquette :) Test cricket is the game that you can play for five days and still end up with a draw. One day cricket is a variation that lasts just a day and always has a result. 20-20 cricket is a relatively new variation that is even faster -- it's over in only a few hours.

No, croquettes are little round patties or balls made with meat and or vegetables and fried. I especially like salmon croquettes.

 

The game is croquet, pronounced sort of like "cro-KAY" unlike the food, which is sort of like "cro-KETT."

I had a 50-50 chance of getting it right (I considered both spellings) but I was too lazy to look up a dictionary... and I've caught. :funny:

Congratulations, Adrian! :) Both good things to celebrate (and for Bondwriter's benefit... the later is good because they've been quality posts and we want to see more) :P

Like Graeme said, it's croquet, but what's wrong with it?? I really enjoy it. It's not the most exciting game in the world, but nothing beats a day at the cottage sipping G&Ts and playing croquet.
