Ashes 2013/14 Drinking Game
« on: November 22, 2013, 12:17:38 PM »

It was my 18th yesterday and a few of my mates are coming round to mine to watch the cricket tonight so I thought I'd invent an Ashes drinking game. I found some of these online and some of these were added myself and by friends. Feel free to add more and or disagree!

2013/14 Ashes Drinking Game

Take one drink when…
   ◦   A boundary is scored
   ◦   Someone appeals
   ◦   A wide or no-ball is bowled
   ◦   Jonathan Trott marks his guard
   ◦   Jimmy Anderson gets someone to play and miss
   ◦   Peter Siddle looks angry
   ◦   Someone talks about Graeme Swann taking wickets in his first over
   ◦   Nasser Hussain is bitter about an umpiring decision
   ◦   Pietersen’s ego is mentioned
   ◦   Joe Root is referred to as young
   ◦   Any reference to the “27 year old medium pace bowler from England”
   ◦   Any reference to Tremlett’s height


Take two drinks when…

   ◦   Peter Siddle is described as having a “big heart”, “runs in all day”, or variants thereof.
   ◦   Stuart Broad pleads for a review
   ◦   The David Warner vs. Joe Root incident is mentioned
   ◦   Steve Smith is described as an all-rounder
   ◦   David Gower says something pretentious
   ◦   Kevin Pietersen hits a six
   ◦   Michael Clarke’s back injury is referenced
   ◦   George Bailey’s series in India is spoken about
   ◦   “He bowls to the left....”
   ◦   Botham is called Sir Ian


Take three drinks when…

   ◦   A wicket falls
   ◦   A catch is dropped
   ◦   Someone suggests England is ball tampering
   ◦   Chris Rogers faces his 100th ball
   ◦   Anyone tells of when Nathan Lyon was a groundsman at Adelaide


Finish your drink when…
   ◦   A commentator suggests players shave off their Movember efforts
   ◦   Shane Watson reviews an LBW decision and is wrong
   ◦   Graeme Swann takes a wicket in his first over
   ◦   Someone scores a century (bonus shot if Michael Clarke or Alastair Cook)
   ◦   Warne says “Morning Nass, Morning everybody”
   ◦   Ian Botham moans about substitute fielders and drinks breaks
   ◦   It rains

All drink amounts are doubled whilst Chris Roger’s strike rate is above 70.

seems a bit complicated.

Why not just have something simple like..

finish for a wicket or 6
four fingers for a 4

2 fingers for an appeal.

simple.
I played these rules at an ODI between Sri Lanka and Aus at Sydney in 2002/3.

here is the score card... (you can imagine the state we were in.)

Went to a 20/20 on a stag do, and rules were the stag had to finish his drink via a funnel and hose after every 6... Only 2 hit all day :S

....but at least they were consecutive balls!
