I Dont' Like Cricket, Oh No, I Love it, Yeah

Unfortunately it’s become part of the story. All the newspapers are reporting on it.

oh ok. Because I was starting to think you were attempting to bait someone. But you wouldn’t do that, would you?

Cry me a river merkin. You're shooting the messenger here. His death, the media, his past, his repatriation, his funeral etc. is all part of the story. We are all feeling uncomfortable in our own way. If you want you start a sanitised OT tribute thread, then go right ahead.

The first delivery I ever saw Shane Warne bowl was a beauty (I don't recall who was at the crease, but I remember we were playing South Africa, and it was the 2001 Boxing Day Test, and Warnie went wicketless).

I was never really into cricket, but my cousin was a mad cricket fan (still is to this day), and we sat down to watch the Test. It got me hooked.

Anyway - Warnie bowled to a right-handed batsman a delivery that was wide of leg stump, maybe by a metre or so, and as the ball was in the air, it started swinging to the offside; when the ball pitched, it sharply spun back to the leg side, and struck the batsman on the pads (it was going down legside, so was not given out).

But seeing what he got the ball to do had me watching in disbelief - what a magician.

Warnie's 99 was such an entertaining innings, too.

I saw his career Tets stats - he bowled over 6,700 overs, and over 1,700 maidens - that is insane.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He liked to bowl the maidens over.

I was there for his 99

Noticed warnie was a st kilda tragic who never got to see them win a comp. Last won in 1966 and he was born in 1969.

I hope that doesn't happen to me with Parramatta.

Why did the Pakistanis invite us over to their house and then make us play on a road? This test is going nowhere fast.

So you're suggesting we haven't won because you're still drawing breath? Interesting. Might I suggest you up your carb intake? And wash it down with a few litres of Coke.

They dont want us to dent the garage door?

6 wickets in 2.5 days is very exciting.

 

[Gronk]

Cock face Mark Latham is using the Warne death as an attempt to be relevant.

Uzzie and Warner both got themselves out. Terrible shots. Bowling was gash.

6 wickets in almost 3 days, 1 a run out, two off reverse sweeps and one where Warner misjudged the length badly. Disgraceful deck.
