Sep 12th, 2012 - 05:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Marcos - your stalking is concerning. Why are you so facinated with the Falkland Islands?
Sep 12th, 2012 - 05:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0I guess these guys could purchase as many dollars as they wish. Perhaps they could even plan Caribbean weddings for their daughters? After all they wouldn't be forced into an u turn on such plans.
@3 'Marcos' is interested in the Falklands because he used to live there, didn't you Mike...

We have a small number of clubs here that play cricket. Indeed when I attended a Christian Brothers college (Cardinal Newman), ruled by Irish brothers, all students were taught by the sportsmaster to play cricket and rugby as soon as they reached 7 years of age.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 02:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cricket was soon discontinued, but our 4 rugby teams, melt into one, grew up to reach 1st division and, by the way, stands now in second place to run for the Argentine championship. The Cardenal Newman had produced 36 Pumas, since. Bear in mind that while clubs can pick players wherever they like, the college can use only his pupils and/or old boys.
Back to cricket, I'm sure our level is not perhaps as good as that of the Falklands team, but you people may try to play against the B.A (Buenos Aires, Cricket & Rugby Club), Lomas Athletic and the 'posh' Hurlingham Club's teams. It's only an idea, similar to 'Rugby Without Frontiers' albeit the argie rugbiers that came to the islands last time were not up to the education standards that should be expected.
Sports are a good way to make friends. Should you want me to make any contacts, just drop me a line to my email argie@uk2.net and I'll be happy to help.
(Yes, I know it's a hot potato!)
Cheers,
@6 Sport is fantastic for forging friendships, especially cricket, the game of gentlemen.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 04:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have great memories of watching cricket in Barbados and many other countries. I have always longed to watch a game in SoAm. I think there is a cricket club in Santiago, Chile but I didn't know there were any in BsAs.
Ah, the sound of leather on willow......: )

Sep 14th, 2012 - 03:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Say hi to Pastors Ben & Monica for me.
No idea if Marcos is actually Mike Bingham,but if he is, he's a hero. A hero who had to seek asylum in Argentina from corrupt Falklands leaders, right?
Sep 15th, 2012 - 08:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentinians playing cricket!?
Sep 16th, 2012 - 12:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry but I'm afraid the answer is NO!
It just isn't cricket.

#13 Cool =) I tend to believe people are who they say they are, especially since so many of the right wing trolls refuse to believe the truth about me!
