I would say not, Tony...
The only thing slower than a C15a in low range & 1st gear is a game of cricket!
Even though the Poms gave us a rheeming in the ashes series, you are still unable to rally support to the cause!?

Simply curious in the level of interest in Canada about the game of cricket. You might also say I am being extremely gracious in defeat by mentioning it even though we did cop a drubbing.
An attribute that can be learnt from playing the great game.

By the way...... I enjoyed driving a C15 2wd slowly as well.

Default Cop a drubbing:

='s a uniquely Australian colloquialism meaning, they got the pants thrashed off them, or... getting the crap kicked out of them,or... being trounced,or... totally wasted, which coincidentally is what we (NZ ) did to them , the last time we played Rugby and Netball. (Just dont ask questions about the netball)

Yes thanks for that Lynn,

In case anyone doesnt know we also got flogged by the 'All Blacks' in the Rugby as well.

I hope you people realise just how hard this is to put into print.

But I digress, this thread was about Canadian Cricket & Canadians passionate interest & commitment to one of their national teams.

Since beer companies don't sponsor Canadian Cricket, we don't watch it (as some would have you believe). I think that the real reasons that it has not caught on in "Canader", is that it requires considerable study to be understood, and it is three shades more boring than American baseball...just my beer-drinking opinion.

Got to go - the beer sponsored hockey game is on!
