You know what really grinds my cricketing gears?

[Dick Rockett]

Because they are girls. You just shouldn't do it IMO.

Sorry man, that's not a reason at all, it's an arbitrary rule. I don't see any reason to make this a point of difference in what's supposed to be an age of gender equality.

Personally, I don't advocate hitting anybody.

Men and women aren't equal though, and the idea that we will is a bit idealistic for me. I'm not usually a fan of hitting anyone unless provoked, if a guy hits me then I'll hit him back but if a girl does then I won't.

Why?.

Because that's how he does it.

Fishing for more awards?

from what I've seen in the women's Twenty20 at Bangalore - watched a bit out of curiosity - girls don't seem to fear tight bowling
and if you follow snooker you may remember the match between Paul Hunter and Michael Holt, when Holt said he would play the hell out at the table - out of respect for Paul.

Why not? Disparity in strength is a poor response too, as no-one seems to have a problem with big blokes punching on with little blokes.

Pre-goddamn-cisely.

Dropped Catches

Absolute goobers that are dropped especially grind my gears.

And always have, for me. Nothing more annoying in cricket than dropped catches - though no-balls come close.

Rain and badlight rank much higher on my list TBH.

Nowt that can be done about those, though - they're just forces of nature.

A thing that grinds my gears in cricket is when players aren't enthusiastic or don't look like they're enjoying themselves. Also poor fielding is another. It really is inexcusable to be a poor fielding side at international cricket.

Fair point. No balls>dropped catches in terms of irritation for me.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Especially when spinners bowl no balls.

Main reason I dislike Daniel Vettori it has to be said.

No one ever calls, so he got sick of typing a number for no reason
