Did you give it away, the very next day?

I don't even think it is safety first. It's crushing your opponent and not giving them even a hint of a chance. It's a modern phenomenom, aye, but it comes from the great Aussie sides and they were anything but safety first.

If I ever win the lottery I'm moving to the Highlands and going full Tweed like. Plus-fours, the works.

Btw, remember the Lord's test against India when Gooch got 333 in the first innings and another century in the second? Tendulkar also played in his first test in England. What I remember most is that India needed 24 to avoid the follow-on and Kapil Dev was batting and they were nine wickets down. He then proceeded to hit Eddie Hemmings for four straight sixes to avoid it. The no.11 was out for a duck next over as well Pure class

They won't enforce it though

Goes with the Tweed jacket

I didn't see it but I did note BBC Breakfast news were running a feature on it.

Didn't you get run over when you were on a night out? Or is that just something I imagined after reading the Cricket thread?

This kid makes Rice, Daddy's Cock and co look like decent wums

Remember that absinthe btw, Tooj? I've made some more

Sorry, you're too old

Me and Tooj went for a pre-Xmas drink about 2 or 3 years ago and we seemed to be the only two blokes in The Tyne not wearing Xmas jumpers.

I wouldn't trust anyone who claimed they had nothing to hide

If only there were some other way we could receive ball-by-ball updates

What is it you do again?

I know who she could post them to

This isn't water

FYP

What you fail to appreciate is that, while it's funny in itself that your team lost that match, being robbed makes it even better for the rest of us.

I guess because the batsmen tend to be such good players of spin as much as anything

Actually, there's a theory that lots of the old masters used optical aids in their works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockney%E2%80%93Falco_thesis

:lol: What an idiot

Boycott made a good point on TMS about hard it is for spinners in India. How Murali and Warne both averaged in the 40s there (Murali's was the worse of the two). Edit: looked it up and Warne's was 43.12 and Muralitharan's was 45.45
