If a cricketer's career was a tune...

[BoyBrumby]

The RD-bopping is becoming pathological. Geddalife, people.

I've got him on ignore actually and have had since before his last absence, finally deciding that life's too short for his particular brand of pissy self-regard & monomania. I only saw him describe my efforts as "patronising crap" because Volts quoted him. Considered reporting it, but thought it more fitting to respond in kind.

[Langeveldt]

Kelis - Milkshake - Darryl Tuffey
John Denver - Leaving On A Jet Plane - Hansie Cronje
Alanis Morissette Hand In My Pocket - Michael Atherton
The Prodigy - Firestarter - Mark Vermeulen (I know, I know - just another Fire gag)
Joe Dolce - Shaddap Ya Face - Harbhajan Singh

Haha, Brilliant

 

[Smudge]

The Cronje and Atherton references.

Perhaps you need to check the meaning of the word "patronising". Although it's hardly new for you to use a word which you don't know the meaning of.

Errr, take a look who had the opening swing in this little discussion, Neville.

I'm well aware of the meaning. And I'm also well aware it was perfectly appropriate for use in terms of the comments I was referring to.

 

[Langeveldt]

Razorlight - Before I fall to Pieces -- Marcus Trescothick

Interpol - Slow Hands -- Michael Vaughan

The Cribs - Mens Needs -- Shane Warne

 

[DaRick]

I'm a touch tired, but here's one that I don't think has been done:

Andrew Flintoff - Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) by Enya

 

[gettingbetter]

KP/Smith SA clash: Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis

Klusener: The Best - Tina Turner (?)

Wilfred Rhodes: Old Man - Neil Young

 

[Richard]

Simply The Best - Tina Turner (?)

A common mistake - the tune is titled, simply, The Best.

 

[gettingbetter]

Thank you

 

[Langeveldt]

Snow Patrol - Run -- Allan Donald

 

[Richard]

Haha, so cruelly apt.

Actually, I think it'd be more apt for the same event to say...

Jordan Knight - Don't Run -- Lance Klusener

 

[Pup Clarke]

Vanessa Williams - The Comfort Zone (Steve Harmison in County Cricket)

 

[Richard]

Sachin Tendulkar circa 1989/90 - Let's Hear It For The Boy by Denise Williams.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Shahid Afridi - Spinning Around (Kylie Minogue)
JWHT Douglas - Anchor Me (Muttonbirds)

 

[Flem274*]

I'll be sympathetic to Sinclair

Sinclair-Boulevard Of Broken Dreams-Greenday

Jesse Ryder-Bad Habit-The Offspring

Might take a band and see which of their songs apply to cricketers, way easier.

Rahul Dravid, Mark Richardson-Defy You-The Offspring
Marcus Trescothick-Self Esteem
Symonds vs India-Come Out and Play (Gotta Keep 'em Seperated)

As you can see mine don't stack up to most in this thread. Awesome thread.

Sinclair-Boulevard Of Broken Dreams-Greenday

I think, and I've said this before, that Ultravox's Dancing With Tears In My Eyes sums him up best ITBT.

Is this when Sidebottom is bowling at him?

 

[Richard]

I was actually thinking of the whole of the recent part of his career - one of the key lyrics from that tune is weeping for the memory of a life gone by. Sinclair is still playing (so still "dancing") but with hindsight I think we can now say that the double-centuries and one-fifty were a life gone by as Sinclair almost seems a different player after them.

If I can procure some footage of those three famous innings, I shall be making an alternative video to the "Don't Worry Skippy", as also previously mentioned.
