26-40

People may disparage you, hell they may even ridicule you, but you don’t care, why would you? Philistines opinions don’t count. You can name everyone of your Country’s Test captains since you were born, you can explain the LBW law to a Russian (who can’t speak your language) by using some salt and pepper shakers. You eat your meals according to the breaks in the Cricket, Cricket tragic be damned you’re a Cricket legend. Just remember when you can’t find anyone to talk to about the greatest game invented. Just log onto CW you will hear a hundred voices say; welcome back home lad.

13-25

You enjoy the game of Cricket, but you have many other interests. Not for you staying up all night watching the qualifiers during the World Cup, though you will probably stay up for the final if your team makes it. You are right of cause there are so many other things out there, it just doesn’t make sense to devote so much time to a game.
BUT WAIT there is still hope; you must log on to CW twice a day, you must have an argument with Richard, TEC or C_C, you must find an answer to one of Jason’s Cricket Guru questions. We want you to become a Cricket Tragic, please!

1-12

How did you find this page? I bet if I ask; name a game that uses a bat and ball? You would answer Baseball. If I ask what do the letters LBW stand for? You would answer Large Black Women. When ever someone mentions they play Cricket you say things like ‘Flannelled Fools, and how can you play that boring game’. You probably think a Googly is a search engine. Well us Cricket Tragics feel sorry for you and all those like you. You, you, But wait I’m sorry I still want to help you, please log on to CW and ask lots of questions we are only to happy to show off our Cricket knowledge, and just maybe you will eventually join the winning team, the CW team.
