best wicket a toss-up between pratt running out ponting, “JONES! BOWDEN!!!”, harmison doing clarke with a slow one, or gilo getting warney running down the pitch to complete a top 8 of hanged aussie batsmen

but this one was a classic, true enough.

you forgot the conditioners and peeling, Zany

What an amazing chat-up line, “Hey baby, let’s go back to my place and check out this fantastic grapefruit and ginger toning gel …”

Mr. Universe is half-decent looking bloke, but that’s to his skin moisturiser’s credit 3B, rather then his! This is cheating, cricketers are not suppose to look this nice, especially bowlers, especially faster ones, and especially Welsh ones. Only actors/models are allowed to look this nice. Jones should give up cricket and take up modelling full time.

“aah Chris, repetion of Jones â€¦ not legal.”

I know, in my defense I was rushing after having spent far too long trying to get “hones” to work. “Moans” was a much better choice.

There was a sick version that included a “disease called crohns” but that just didn’t make sense.

aah Chris, repetion of Jones … not legal.

There was a Welsh bowler called Jones,
despite all the breaks to his bones
and promo-inspired lotions,
he gave us the motions
and Oz wickets with all of their moans!

Met him last year before the Ashes, he was kind, polite and drop-dead gorgeous. He can borrow my lip gloss any day.

And SpryCorpse – you Aussie wallahs take winning for granted, mate, no offence. Us Poms only get a look in every 15-20 years or so. Have a heart.
Anyway, I got mugged in town today and had my purse nicked so I’m looking for happy things tonight.

You Poms have enjoyed winning the Ashes entirely too much for my liking.
Do we really have to see these replays, Will? I mean, let’s not live in the past…..

There was a great bowler called Jones
Who loved to break Australian bones
No need to rehearse
His command of reverse
Heâ€™s a legend is our Simon Jones

Five foot two

I know, not quite original, and doesn’t rhythem that well either, but then Will’s not run those limerick competetions for a while, so I’m somewhat rusty.

I’m not being mean Scott, this is international sport, you should do everything within the ’spirit of the game’ to enhance your chances of winning. Mr. Universe is a good bowler, and will most certainly be a threat to India in India, and as far as I know, stopping someone’s supply of skin moisturizers and herbal cleansers isn’t against the spirit of the game, so India might well use it to try and disrupt his routines a bit.

Zainub, don’t be mean.

Zainub — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 14:36:27 +0000

The way to handle to Mr. Universe I suspect might be in stealing or hiding his skin moisterizer and herbal creams, he might lose a bit of rythym this way.

thank you so much for the link. I listened to the Ashes by radio and never actually saw much.

Have just watched the highlights perhaps with a glass of wine too many but YAH we have the Ashes!

Erhem, sobering up and hoping Test v India will be as good. By God, I am going to feel horrid tomorrow…

[...] Will Luke over at the CofU has posted a video of his favourite Ashes wicket and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching Simon Jones swinging past the defense of Michael Pup Clarke to send his off peg reeling. [...]

Magnificent stuff. Watch out for the copper dancing around in the background after the stump goes cartwheeling out of the ground.

Actually, my favourite wicket of 2005 wasn’t an Ashes one. That would have to be the wonderful catch taken by Collingwood to dismiss Hayden at Bristol. The look on Hayden’s face as he realises that he’s fallen to an improbable catch was priceless.
