Bruised by Hoggy
By Will 2 months ago, No Comments; be the first!
Friend of the blog; friend of beer; friend of cheese, Patrick Kidd, has been bruised like a pear by Matthew Hoggard. Stop laughing - you’d do no better and nor would I.
Never trust a Yorkshireman, even those with an amiable gait. That’s what I say.

‘Please wait here for first available wicket’
By Will 7 months ago, 3 Comments »
This is superb:
Somehow, watching the West Indies collapse in fine style this morning against South Africa, I couldn’t help thinking about this sign I saw while waiting in line to renew my driver’s license.
From Sean, who built/administers CaribbeanCricket.com - a website about bicycle tyre pricing. No, not really; it’s dedicated to West Indian cricket.
He told me that a wicket (in Canada, and probably America, and probably everywhere else) is a ticket boot where you are served, like in a post office. Shamefully, perhaps because I’ve been a cricket fan most of my life, I was completely ignorant as to the other meanings of the word.

By Will last year, at the end of October, No Comments; be the first!
“I know that you’re a bit hard up for money to keep the blog going,” Hammy writes, “but to sell number plates relating to your blog? Really. Taken in Perth, Western Australia. I’ve been waiting for ages for the COU number plate to arrive and took a photo of the first one that I came across.”
Not guilty, m’lud. Donations and/or free hosting and/or beer and chocolate gratefully received though.

What a winner. Michael Vaughan loses his trousers, and could there anyone better than David Lloyd to commentate on it?

Just received this from a friend. Nothing to do with cricket but too good not to share.
My daughter looks like Sreesanth
By Will last year, mid-March, 4 Comments »
Email of the week:
Hi guys, I reside in Durban South Africa.
Could you guys please,if possible send me contact details for Indian cricket star, Shanthakumaran Shreesanth. My daughter who is 13 years of age has a striking resemblance to him and she is his greatest fan. She says that he must be a long lost relative from India.
Thanks a million
Anand
Light relief from a very dark day.

By Will last year, at the start of March, 13 Comments »
Best watched at about 10am, in your office, and ideally when you’re boss / team-leader / line-manager or someone else is giving a speech. Shortly afterwards, and for the remainder of the day, you’ll be unable to say anything other than Ooh, ahh, Glenn McGrath…

1 Comment »Are you Ashley Giles in disguise?
By Will 2 years ago, mid-December, 3 Comments »
No, not you - Nathan Deakes. This gem from the Tonk:
3 Comments »One of them participates in what might be called the most pedestrian of sporting pursuits — the other is a race walker. Ashley Giles, England bowler, has never been seen in the same room as Nathan Deakes, walk record holder and no relation to a famous Australian marathon runner sharing the same surname. After the walker’s face was splashed across newspapers during the Adelaide Test, it is believed England coaching staff hit upon their most cunning substitution racket yet, hatching a plan to switch Giles for Deakes in the third Test, reasoning no one would notice and it couldn’t be any worse.
Ashley Giles the Borat of Spain
By Will 2 years ago, at the start of December, 6 Comments »
Oh it’s cruel, it’s painfully cruel
Courtesy of The Ashes Blog who provide the following reasons Ashley Giles should continue playing for England:
6 Comments »1. He makes James Anderson look threatening.
2. His bowling average is almost as good as Matthew Hayden’s batting average.
3. As the Personal Life Coach for Ricky Ponting, Ashley Giles felt that the Australian captain was in desperate need of a bit of encouragement, so he sacrificially dropped that catch on the boundary. But that’s just the sort of kind, generous guy that he is.
4. His Royal Highness brings a certain amount of class and dignity into the England team. Well, they need to make up for Kevin Pietersen’s presence somehow.
So please, keep Ashley playing, and make benefit glorious King of Spain.

My editor told me about this sign appearing in the Adelaide dunnies yesterday, which is now doing the rounds. This photo courtesy of the BBC Test Match Special team out there, and Gideon Haigh mentioned it yesterday in his blog.

Rod’s in Adelaide pretending to work and spotted Billy Birmingham on the radio which you can download at his blog. Superb. Birmingham’s new 12th Man album is out today.
