  • "There used to be a bloke who gave himself out by walking when he'd hit the ball. The popularity of that within his team-mates may be shown by the fact that since his retirement, they no longer reply to any emails, phone calls or text messages."

    Shiny Mark is back

    By Will 3 years ago, at the start of November, Comments

    Post 1001, and it’s back to business as it appears that Mark “Shiny” Nicholas is back on Channel 9. His contract wasn’t renewed a month ago - but Dave mentioned it yesterday, and the plucky people at ABC are gratuitously back-patting themselves. And why not!? Is Mark gaining a cult following I wonder…?

    Nicho nicks off Nine

    By Will 3 years ago, mid-October, Comments

    The news that Mark Nicholas’ contract with Channel Nine hasn’t been renewed struck me as more than a little bizarre. I can’t believe there isn’t something more to this, and the always-insightful chaps at ABC have been mulling it over. Seems, on the whole, the Aussies are fans of the smooth-talking Nicho (”Wowza!” “Helllooooooooooo!” “GOODness ME” were some of his catchphrases this summer, usually when Pietersen was at the crease.). More at ABC’s sportsdesk.
