Cricket, lovely cricket

Hi all
Thommo? in his own words "I just run up and go wang!"
I heard a story he had to ask Ian Chappel which way he should hold the ball for the outswinger.
Lillee though,even if he did have an aversion to using willow when batting, he was some bowler,
I read about his back problems on his first tour over here, he still bowled through it, which does make me a little shamefaced that ours have to go off for an ice bath and a massage after a 6 over spell.
I was only half serious about Warney,in the true spirit of the game it would have been a crime if cricket lovers everywhere were denied the chance of seeing him strut his stuff.
I couldnt care less what he does with Elizabeth Hurley, he was wonderful to watch on a cricket field.
All the best.

[Nothing to see]

The spirit of the game?
Seriously?
Like Lillee coming out with al aluminium bat which damaged the ball but just happened to be made by a company he had a financial interest in?
Like Trevor Chappel bowling underarm?
Or what about Warney,found guilty of passing information to a bookmaker?
He got a fine,if memory serves a couple of Indian players found guilty of the same offence got banned for life.
Oh,but hang on,without Warne you would have lost loads of test matches wouldn't you? Oh well, The Spirit Of The Game can go and get stuffed then.
The Aussie mentality,win at all costs and then claim you represent a load of non existent values on top of it.
Such insecurity,but then you have a lot to be insecure about.
All the best.

Trevor did what his brother told him to do. Then they had a donneybrook behind the toilet block.

Warne chases Elizabeth Hurley around toilet blocks and tweets while he's doing it.

Lillee had a partner. The greatest fast bowler the world has ever seen. Thommo. He didn't chase anyone around toilet blocks. He just crushed their sandshoes.

Wow. The UN make 6/333 and we still chase it down, a record breaking ODI victory....how humiliating for you!

What a cheating scum of a team you have - Prior deliberately knocking the bail off and claiming Johnson was bowled is one of the lowest acts i've seen for a while, and it's been an ongoing thing this series - fielders running around as the bowler comes in, fielders not in proper catching positions during powerplays. At least when we win, we do it fairly and in the spirit of the game, is your team really that bad following the Ashes that they now need to cheat to win?

Martin:

I believe you've contracted "Montyitis" - the complete inability to be able to write a cohesive, grammatically correct sentence.

But "onya" for the good wishes, just the same!

5-1, one to go....the pain is almost over, Poms.

Cheers,
Adam.

Adam,

What have I told you about nicking my material? Get yer own stuff. Geeze, once a convict....

You that desperate to be funny you're stealing my laughs?

Wanna talk about Hughes awful attempt at claiming a bump ball as a catch. Sheer desperation. Dispicable standards set yet so Australian.

Adam: spirit of the game? SPIRIT OF THE GAME? You make me laugh, my friend. The Aussies are the worst losers of all time! The kings of whingeing and juvenile tantrums especially darling Ricky.

I was beginning to wonder if you actually were an Aussie, Adam, since you do not start every sentence with, "Aw, look..." but your last post has convinced me that you are Strine through and through. That combination of gloating and whingeing is unmistakeable.

Best wishes,
Steve.

Hi all
Well to be fair to Mitch, whenever he plays England always cheat by playing another batsman called Extras.
He dont half score a lot.
All the best.

Whats all this UN nonsense? Micheal Slater was born in Manchester,Warney Is German and Ricky Pouting was born on the whinge.
Oz is an amazing country (genuinely sorry for the people affected by the flooding btw) but you have to try to get your head around the concept that unlike you colonials, English people are coveted by employers worldwide, and some of their kids are born abroad.
Apart from London apparently,there are loads of Aussies there, serving the English drinks.
Take what comfort you can from your success in a meaningless ODI seies,when the pressure is on it will be calypso collapso and moaning your heads off again.
All the best.

Steady Martin,

Youre talking sense, he wont understand. He'll just stare at you like the Stig does.

May as well be speaking Martian....which is where Mitchell Johnson is from.

Monty:

Ah yes. If only all the countries represented in that one photo got along as well as that all the time, eh?

Steven:

What's wrong with the 80's?
At least the UN had a semi-decent team back then....

Cheers,
Adam.

[Steven Russell]

Adam: I've absolutely no idea what or who Styx is or are. Somehow though, the very name conjures up rampant eighties hair. Please stop.

Best, Steve.

Monty:

You said nothing the other day because, despite having the intelligence of a fencepost, you knew that we still led the series 3-1!
To say that the series holds no importance is rubbish, as i've said before, with the World Cup coming up very, very soon - if it meant nothing, why did they recall Matt Prior? (dismissed 3 times in 4 games by Brett Lee, I should add). Why did Anderpies come back over here for the second part of the series? Swanny probably isn't injured, more likely they dropped him for his appallingly bad performances!

I will be the first to "rub yer snout in it" when you get demolished by The Netherlands in the first round of the WC!

Steven:

Monty thinks that having a DVD marathon of Rick Astley live in concert circa 1988 counts as a "party". Shame.

Still working on GSTQ....

Cheers,
Adam.

I've not the faintest idea who Stefan Dennis is, Steven.

Having said that, rumour has it that you've made some slight adjustments to the words of a song by your favourite band, Styx, and it goes something like this:

"You know it's you, KP
Whenever I get weary and i've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you, KP
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true,
KP, I love you"

Mind you, KP is pretty ordinary these days, might be time for you to change it again?

Cheers,
Adam.

No words needed.

Yes, that is a shame. No doubt you prefer Stefan Dennis, Adam.
