Cricket Crap

[simmo1]

Haven't watched any of the Warne interview. Is there anything new or is it the same bunch of stories that get rehashed every summer (baggy green, Gatting ball, 1999 WC etc)?

Random cricket thought of the day;

Remember during the first season of Ten covering the BBL they put d-grade celebrities on a scaffolding platform in the crowd and if they caught a six a home viewer won money? And then not a single six landed in the same postcode as one of them for the entire tournament?

What a ride that was.

From memory it was always square of the wicket too. Surely to even give it half a chance you put it behind mid on.

Yep, pretty sure Tom Raudonikis got a run up there once.

Makes me think of other promotions..

Hit the Mercantile Mutual sign
The bullseye shirts at the 2015 WC in NZ was probably the best one.. XXXX gold cap one during the Ashes here a few years ago was a weak replica,

Yep there was Tommy at a Heat game, from memory they also had Russell Gilbert down in Melbourne, a few other celebrities plus former AFL players. I think the only other League legend would've been the Axe. Wouldve been a good concept if anyone actually caught one.

Bring back hitting the signs.

Back on the Warne week, haven't watched any interviews but notice theyre showing his favourite games, him and Howie introduce them

They're all classics, but Warne's seems to forget minor parts. For instance he says the year 93/94 when he took his hattrick, in actual fact it was 94/95. Then he introduces the game of his best figures in 94/95. He thought it was the game where Hussain sent Australia into bat. Nasser was obviously not captain and didn't actually tour that summer.

Still it was nice to see things didn't change for a period, Poms embarrassing themselves in the first test at the Gabba.

Mike Meede had the greatest silken mane of hair you'll ever see on a man.

Indeed. Swoonworthy.

Sophie Formica who took over after Mike was a hottie too.

check out the reminders of your childhood thread (ask us anything Forum), there’s an old clip recently posted of Mike and Melvin in action on Now you see it.

and yes, yes, yes agree with Sophie Formica. My boyhood carrot in wanting to be a man.

Fox have had the 2003 WC game vs England on....so many people underrate Andy Bichel and unfairly malign Bevan, but watching the game again all these years later my god they were awesome.

Hahaha Bic slog-sweeping Jimmy Anderson over midwicket for six is still one of my favourite cricket memories
