Was a good game but I just like watching Nathan Cleary play. He is such a good player! I remember the old Melbourne Storm team when they had Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater

Storm has been a phenomenal club considering they started from scratch and in a non rugby state.

Yeah they always seem to be there or there abouts when it comes to winning titles. I don't have a particular team as such. I enjoyed watching Benji Marshall at Wests Tigers and Sam Burgess at the South Sydney Rabbitohs and enjoy watching Herbie Farnworth at the Dolphins.

It's a good sport. I try and watch it where I can but Rugby Union is my preference

Since we have a bit of a UK/Aussie thing going on right now, I thought I would add my fascination with cricket.  I was on a trip to Australia back in 2010 when the Ashes were going on.  It is an interesting game, and took me a few to figure out the basics, but quite interesting.  What I could not figure out is what constituted a complete game.

Ahhh yes cricket is pretty good as well although I prefer the ODI's and T20 games instead of Test cricket but will try to watch the Ashes where I can. I did a Google search for them to explain it as they would be able to do it better than me haha

 

"A Test match in cricket is considered completed when one team has scored more runs than the other team after both teams have played their two innings, meaning all four innings of the match are completed, and the team batting last is either all out or has surpassed the other team's total runs; if time runs out before a result is reached, the match is declared a draw."

The use of the term "inning" feels pretty loose, can't those last days during a Test match?

Sometimes they can. I think the most I have ever seen a Test match go on for is 5 days

I was expecting this to say "when one hears only crickets."
