Because anything better is a bonusIf you are expected it to be a loss from the start, what is the point in watching in the first place?

Isn't that a synonym for English?

Lots of things do, many people would contend that defeatism is ingrained in British sporting society.
I don't agree personally, but I can see why the unwary might get that impression.

Agreed. Especially people who don't play cricket talking about how bad for the game sledging is. Get a clue about what sledging is in the first place.

Spot on. Just two days ago, we virtually sledged our way to a breakthrough (talked so much trash to a well-set batsman, plenty of it coming from our strike spinner) and then brought on the spinner to the by-now agitated batsman. Goodbye

Maybe thats how he got out?
Anyway with regards to sledging, if you can't take it you're not gonna get far. In my grade we don't shut up, there's always a bit of banter. People can moan as much as they want about it but it will never stop. Thats just the way it is.

I agree with that actually. Nothing ****s me more as a bowler than a casual player who waltzes to the crease and smashes everything over midwicket for six on tea-cup sized grounds without actually playing any "real" cricket.
