They can go for five days Angie, that enough for you?
Losing a bit of interest now, tbh. India haven't turned up. Having said that, I think this England side would smack any team in the world at the mo. A shame Bopara couldn't cash in. But hopefully he'll get another chance.
Yes this must be the best they've ever been. You can't really count the early days of cricket, as their was little opposition.
I meant fit, as in fit!
That Alaistar Cook's quite dishy, and Freddie Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen's looking good these days. Anyone as long as it's not Shane Warne, who used to be quite sexy, until Liz Hurley got her claws in,
Oh, we thought you meant fit as in fit.
I've heard other women say this too, so maybe they are. Broad and Anderson I thought were the pin up boys. And KP yes.
It would be entirely inappropraite for me to fancy Broad, isn't he in his teens?
Anderson's a bit of all right too.
So you'd like KP to give you his nuts?
I'd like him to squeeze my Botham...
And what would you do with his Willey?
I'll give him the Full Monty!
Boycott!
What if he had a short leg and a silly point?
Cricket is the only game it is acceptable to go for a slash outside off stump but mistime it and for it to trickle down your leg side.
Well he won't be bowling this maiden over.
*realises this might be my last post in this thread*
What did you think of the Bell end? According TMS 'He just waved it in the air'.
I thought it was a sticky wicket, but my eyesight's not 20/20.
Brian Johnston (referring to Neil Harvey):
- Standing in the slips with his legs apart waiting for a tickle.
Oh, and here some great cricket sledges...
1. Rod Marsh & Ian Botham: When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: "So how's your wife & my kids?"
2. Daryll Cullinan & Shane Warne: As Cullinan was on his way to the wicket, Warne told him he had been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate him. "Looks like you spent it eating," Cullinan retorted.
3. Glenn McGrath (bowling to portly Zimbabwean chicken farmer Eddo Brandes): "Hey Eddo, why are you so F**ing Fat?" Eddo Brandes: "Because everytime I F*** your mother, she throws me a biscuit"
4. Robin Smith & Merv Hughes: During 1989 Lords Test Hughes said to Smith after he played & missed: "You can't f**king bat". Smith to Hughes after he smacked him to the boundary: "Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can't f**king bat & you can't f**king bowl."
5. Merv Hughes & Javed Miandad: During 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed called Merv a fat bus conductor. A few balls later Merv dismissed Javed: "Tickets please", Merv called out as he ran past the departing batsman.
6. Merv Hughes & Viv Richards: During a test match in the West Indies, Hughes didn't say a word to Viv, but continued to stare at him after deliveries. "This is my island, my culture. Don't you be staring at me. In my culture we just bowl." Merv didn't reply, but after he dismissed him he announced to the batsman: "In my culture we just say f**k off."
7. And of course you can't forget Ian Healy's legendary comment that was picked up by the Channel 9 microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga called for a runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney... "You don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat c**t!!!"
8. James Ormond had just come out to bat on an ashes tour and was greeted by Mark Waugh... MW : "F*ck me, look who it is. Mate, what are you doing out here, there's no way you're good enough to play for England" JO: "Maybe not, but at least I'm the best player in my family"
9. McGrath to Ramnaresh Sarwan: "So what does Brian Lara's d*ck taste like?" Sarwan: "I don't know. Ask your wife."
McGrath (losing it): "If you ever F*&king mention my wife again, I'll F*ing rip your F*ing throat out."
10. Mark Waugh standing at second slip, the new player (Adam Parore) comes to the crease playing & missing the first ball. Mark - "Ohh, I remember you from a couple years ago in Australia. You were sh*t then, you're fu*king useless now". Parore (Turning around) "Yeah, that's me and when I was there you were going out with that old,
ugly sl*t and now I hear you've married her. You dumb c*nt".
11. Yet another Australian witticism with this time porky Sri Lankan batsman Arjuna Ranatunga the victim. Shane Warne, trying to tempt the batsman out of his crease mused what it took to get the plump character to get out of his crease and drive. Wicketkeeper Ian Healy piped up, "Put a Mars Bar on a good length. That should do it."
12. Ravi Shastri v/s the Aussie 12th man (don't remember who, and don't want to slander anyone). Shastri hits it to this guy and looks for a single...this guy gets the ball in and says "if you leave the crease I'll break your f***ing head" Shastri: "if you could bat as well as you can talk you wouldn't be the f***ing 12th
man"
13. Malcolm Marshall was bowling to David Boon who had played and missed a couple of times. Marshall: "Now David, Are you going to get out now or am I going to have to bowl around the wicket and kill you?"
14. Fred Trueman bowling. The batsman edges and the ball goes to first slip, and right between Raman Subba Row's legs. Fred doesn't say a word. At the end of the over, Row ambles past Trueman and apologises sheepishly. "I should've kept my legs together, Fred". "So should your mother" he replied.
