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

[Eelogical]

Damn drop in pitches!

I wish a few more pitches would have dropped in at my place in my younger days.

Mark Waugh (Australia) and Adam Parore (New Zealand)

A fast and brutal response to a sledge.

Waugh: “I remember you from a couple of years ago. You were shit then and you’re f**ken useless now!”.

Parore :“Yeah that’s me. And I remember you were dating that old, ugly s**t. I see you’ve married her now. You dumb c***”.

Wtf? When was this?

 

[hineyrulz]

Junior never married her by the way.

Would have been mid nineties based on the players involved. Parore was always a bit of a knob. But Kiwis will tell you only Aussies get involved in personal abuse lol

You win Baz ... this is boring as batshit ... f**kin drop ins

 

[Bazal]

I f**ken told you f**ken!

We need to build a wall....

 

[strider]

Perhaps a drop in wall?

OK gents, since when do batsmen show the back of the bat when acknowledging applause for a 50 or 100? It seems new to me, and I'm a cynical old bastard but it looks like an opportunity to advertise their bat sponsorship. It's shitting me no end.

Might be a bit of that, but I think it's just an individual thing. Cook showed the face for his hundred I think.

It's like some are bat raisers and some are bat pointers when they get to a milestone. Not sure it's a conscious choice

Flintoff and Pietersen started it in the 05 Ashes.

Unlike our Parramatta players, I tend to think cricketers are merkins until they prove otherwise, hence my cynicism.

I thought the exact same thing when i saw smith doing it ... i would bet one nut it is sponsor related

Maybe it is, but when they give you a dozen $1500 dollar bats plus a cool million bucks I suppose it's a small price to pay.

I'd say it's probably a bit of both. But I don't have a sponsorship or score hundreds so what do I know?

I explicitly said no to the hold your bat up backwards clause when i signed my contract ... i have standards ffs

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

A credit to the curator, this pitch. Nail-biting finish coming up.

Yeah i went off a bit early ... then 2 wickets fell ... outstanding pitch

Only clause I signed was no games on drop ins. Otherwise I'd probably be at the MCG right now

Didn't you see the news? I missed out mate, they went for Ashton Agar.

I'll be out getting on the piss with SOK though so you might still see me.
