- perl4ever 5y agoNothing about Brockian Ultra-Cricket?

- mickjagger 5y agoI anticipated cricket stumps and cricket bats, an all-in brawl at the wickets, and umpires wearing white. The first rule of cricket club - no one talks about cricket club.
- hdmakwlsbb 5y agoNot going to link because it’s pretty horrific but Japanese Bug Fights is similar but definitely a blood sport.

- manishsharan 5y agoCame here to read stories of cricket fans getting into fisticuff over T20. But no --this was not that. Disappointed. ;-)
- iamgopal 5y agoLol, my naive mind thought it was about India vs Pakistan cricket match.
