Why the f**k would you wear a St George jersey to the cricket? Disgrace to the country.

[-X At least it's not a Parra or Tigers jersey.

 

[BDR]

There were a few QLD jerseys in the earlier tests. Legends.

Geez Clarkey's batting like shit.

Madunit!

There's nothing I loved more than hitting a batsmen. In the ribs, in the shoulder, in the helmet, in the face, I didn't care.

Once you hit a batsmen, you own him.

I hit one bloke with a rising shortish ball that hit him in the ribs, just under his arm.

I bowled 3 more balls all of the same line length, two hit him in the chest and another in the ribs.

Then I bounced him, hit him in the helmet, then yorked him, took out middle and off.

I always remember the body hits, don't really recall too many of the wickets though

This. I take as much pride in sitting a batsman down as I do in getting him out. Nothing more satisfying than the sound of ball hitting ribs, or watching a batsman hit the deck desperately avoiding a throat ball. Mind you as an all rounder I had to learn to duck a lot...

 

[madunit]

The sweetest sound is of leather breaking cheekbone.

 

[BunniesMan]

The sweetest sound is ball crashing into the stumps. No point hurting a batsman if he just hits you for 4 the next ball.

 

[Bazal]

I honestly can't think of any batsman I've ever hit who has then hit me for four...next ball or otherwise...

this commentator keeps using the word nerdled

Spoken like a true softcock who has never played cricket.

I never got hit for four by any batsmen after I hurt them.

I retired one guy and he was only 17.

 

[Jason Maher]

Watson on 123, still looks vulnerable.

You do that "spoken like a true X" thing a lot.

f**khead me fell asleep at 9pm. I never learn.
