these threads are made every summer so we can revive good old memories. so lets start...

tony: 'i wont even bother putting my keys in the cracks. you could park the car in them.'

tony: 'i've never seen so many cracks since last year's gay and lesbian mardi gras'

max: 'thats a good catch taken by grayheemi labroy'
bill: 'grayheemi labroy? max, the bloke's name is graham'
'well i thought that all his team-mates have such long and complicated nicknames, so i thought i should give him one myself'
'geez your f**ked in the head sometimes max'

richie: 'imran khan is the 12th man because we couldn't take the piss out his name'

I love the series and I could listen to Maxy Walker, Tony Greig, Bill Lawry and Richie Benaud all day on those CDs from Billy Birmingham.

Some favourite moments:

- Max locking Ken Sutcliffe in the dressing room after knocking him out so he can impress the commentary selectors by doing the Wide World Of Sports show on his own :lol:

- Tony and Bill arguing over not opening the commentary in which they then proceed to lock themselves in the box to open the innings which they then get reprimanded for disobeying their captain Ritchie :lol:

- "Hey Ritchie, how about an autograph?"; the smartass kids and Ritchie's reply :lol:

- Max Walker breaking into the commentary area in which Ritchie calls for security, "tell your f###ing story walking Max!" :lol:

- Ritchie taking the team through their warmups :lol:

It's all good, each one of them is absolute gold and the CDs normally venture out around this time of the year...

Here's hopin for a new one with the new generation of commentators with O'Donnell, Heals, Tubby and Nicols being sent up as well. I would love Billy to cover off the Sri Lankan games and the fun he could have with rubber arm Murali...one thing, BRING BACK MAX! as well.

 

[Mighty Dragon]

The 12th Man is the greatest.

Anyone know if Billy will be making another one?

 

[Tupac Shakur]

12th man is hilarious. :lol: :lol:

Daryl Eastlake: Pearce off Jack, Gibbs on

Daryl Eastlake: Pearce off Jack, Gibbs on
Jack Gibson: Dont tell me to piss off...Whack
Daryl Eastlake: Ho Ho ho, Big Jack's king hit me, and i've gone crashing to the deck.

 

[Red Bear]

Got all the cd's cept bill lawry i think.

All of it is classic, although it is better when he is doing just cricket as opposed to the wired world of sports.

 

[madunit]

Lets not forget the longest and best name yet

Shewantedtopierceherear AndIsaidwellnotyourvaginatoo

Mark Taylor: Ricky Ponting's in fine form here today. He's played every shot in the book, Front foot, back foot, pants down, standing on one leg"

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Classic Commentary segment on Wired World of Sports 2 (I think) was awesome. Renouf, Renoof, Runoff, Renouf lol. Crack up.

 

[madunit]

MAX: I got this big f**king cricket bat here that says I do.

 

[Southernsaint]

MAX: I got this big f***ing cricket bat here that says I do.

[madunit]

I love all the Hansie comments the best.

And Richie speaking French

"Well what la f**k do you propose le do Henri?"

 

[SpaceMonkey]

"Imran Khan's coming in from the member's end, and there's a few female fans down there who'd like to get down to his member's end and face a couple of balls"
