Some jobs allow for game watching, especially if you work in a pub or restaurant, for instance. Can you watch the match at work? Does your boss allow it, or do you have to do it when boss is out? We will go by who is in charge that day, what mood they are in, and what the customers want.

i dont have the kind of job to sit and watch

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I don't get to sit. I am mainly waiting tables, with occasional bar tending. When I get to tend the bar I am more able to catch a bit. It would be nice to be paid just to sit and watch, though, wouldn't it? Ha ha.

I also don't have a job that allows me to watch games either unfortunately. In the past for the big games I've booked a few days off work to watch or if that's not been possible then I'll catch up on the scores on the news sites or on an app on the phone, but usually I'll just catch the highlight shows in the evenings depending on hat time I'm home.

Become an Estate Agent, they seem to have unlimited time.

That would never happen in my environment but I am sure staff catch up on the updates as I do sometimes ask certain people for updates.

The vast majority of jobs would not allow that or much time to post in this lovely forum.

I take it you know an estate agent with unlimited time? LOL I guess running your own business of any kind would allow you to be more flexible that way.

Sometimes I take off work too, but I really shouldn't, especially since I'm part time as it is.

I had many jobs in the past where we could watch games in the break room, but then I also had some where we had TV's around, as the jobs related to entertainment. I was working in a chemical company, there was no way we could watch games in there.

I guess it just matters what type of job you have.

I wouldn't have thought that there would be many jobs where they would allow you to sit and watch TV to be honest, and especially when its just a normal game of cricket. In the past when there as been a tournament on such as the Olympics or the world cup it could be allowed I guess, but even then it would only be allowed on at break times or at lunch I would imagine.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now. This cannot continue into another series; we must not allow it to.(15.07.2025, 14:52)(14:52)0
