ASHES - 2015!

[Athens]

Google Phillip Hughes

Is the guy who bowled that ball still playing?

 

[tony]

Obviously it hit him pretty hard but yes he is still playing I believe. A guy died recently in England after being hit in the chest while batting in a club game. It is a dangerous sport especially at the top level and very very tough on the bodies of the bowlers.

 

[Red Astaire]

Yep - He won young Aussie cricketer of the year and by all accounts has a very promising career ahead of him. He's plays 20/20 in India at the moment.

Besides the obviously tragic case of Hughes - Cricketers get injured all the time. Why wouldn't they?

 

[Athens]

Why wouldn't they?

I was waiting for someone to ask me had I ever played and then I would wittily reply "No, because I'm not a poofter".

this is what the ball does to a wicket keepers hands

This guy had to retire recently - he used to play for england but lost the sight in his eye whilst batting ( with a helmet )

Poofters the lot of them - I don't think

 

[tony]

this guy was wearing a helmet with a grill


This bloke does look like a poofter though granted - and he did bat for the other side

It would be a brave man that called Merv a poofter to his face. Brave, or stupid.

Gotta love Richie Benaud's laconic, understated commentary here.

Do you ever see what being a poofter does to someone's bum hole?

Well I haven't, because I'm not a poofter.

 

[tony]

Errr have you been on the ouzo all day Athens?

 

[Athens]

I don't drink ouzo these days.

Alright, 4th Test, Australia have to avoid defeat.

England win the toss and will bowl. Interesting call and probably the right one given the overcast conditions and touch of grass on the pitch. Massive first morning.

FUCKING COME ON AUSTRALIA

 

[tony]

Well they're going to bat all right but on a greentop after England won the toss and put them in! Strange one to drop the allrounder, they might need his bowling later.

 

[Ryan]

Expect fireworks this morning. Broad will take a couple I reckon.

 

[Ryan]

What a fucking call that is ^^^ from me!

 

[Ryan]

Rodgers gone, one down.

 

[Ryan]

Smith gone, 2 for Broad.

I swear, that is the call of the year from me 3 posts back.

 

[tony]

Your anti jinxing methods are clearly not working, Cooks brave decision has paid off in the first over.

 

[tony]

3 down fucking hell this is electric

 

[Red Astaire]

Boomshanka!!!!!!

 

[Ryan]

3 down. This is absurd.

 

[tony]

I bet Clarke didn't expect to be batting after 9 balls!!

 

[Red Astaire]

The ball is nipping all over the place. That was some delivery from Wood.

 

[tony]

Who needs Jimmy

 

[Got the moves like Carra]

I bet Clarke didn't expect to be batting after 9 balls!!

especially after dropping himself down to number 5!

 

[tony]

Very nearly 4 down
