Still doesn't get the sheep joke
Well type it out well then with good grammar and accurate spelling.
Still doesn't get the sheep joke
The original joke was correct in every way. The fact you don't understand that proves you didn't get it.
It was because of the edit. Went from I was informed that "he said" to a question of what he would or would not say about the book's length.
no it didn't
i can't see the edits and you edited it twice and it doesn't say that in either
lol
he still doesn't get it
Yeah, why do you keep doing it?
Why do I keep quoting stats ?
lol, you must be new here
Hi, I'm the Alpha Male
gee that's a compelling argument
so you still want to argue that black is white ?
We nearly beat them on their previous tour with one crappy spinner at the SCG, may have been Mo. We knew the only chance we had to win a single test was to prepare a turner at the SCG and name 2 spinners, which we did and it worked, we won.
Now, apparently you want to argue that this didn't happen ?
Well it did and they got spun out
Have a nice day.
Why doesn't NSW and Queensland just separate from the rest of Australia?
This really is no different to a consolidated ethnic divide and religious divide as seen in the former Yugoslavia, or which end of the boiled egg you dip your soldier cut bread and teaspoon into .
I mean there is no need to go War Lord on Victorians in presently in NSW and Queensland, no need for any Rwanda like situations, but a mere peaceful exit like the newly formed Pakistan with inhabitants who were Muslims living previously all round greater India.
On the bright side, it would give the world a new test cricket nation. Might harm the viability of the Ashes, but neww test rivalry over "football" would be passionate.
Problem solved.
Why do you lot get so upset about them talking about your national sport? They do it about union in NZ... I don't care for this Australian football nonsense, but you should be proud of the pinnacle of your professional sport
wow, you've been around for a while. They haven't let fans onto the field for a long time. Last I can think of was the 1992 World Cup (pitch invasion twice at the end of the Australia vs India match).
Also, that SCG test was probably the one that started the 'spinning paradise' trend in the '80s and '90s, with Murray Bennett and Bob Holland taking 15 of the Windies 20 wickets:

Have a look at how much turn finger-spinner Murray Bennett got at 0:35 and the arm ball that dismissed Viv Richards. Insane that he was able to spin it past the vertical (i.e. could curve the ball sharply into the right-handed batsman, and still beat the outside edge). Undoubtedly his finest bowling performance in a short 3 test career.
And the test that leads twizzle to the conclusion that this great Windies side couldn't play spin :crazy: - let's see, dead rubber, rank turner... think there are plausible alternative hypotheses
The Australian team in the mid-80s had a good record of winning dead rubber matches at the SCG
