So whenever we're married and she's avec-child, it'll be Dominic Gerald Dickinson

I feel sorry for it if it's a girl.

 

[Richard]

O'Brien and Mills with new-ball.

Pickup's a difficult middle-name to give TBH. But yeah, I do like the idea of naming my firstborn son after DG Cork. And so does Joanne evidently, despite the fact she barely even tries to like cricket.

That's incredibly sad. Possibly sadder than your post count.

If it's a girl it'll obviously be Dominique Geraldine, duhh.

Err - why, exactly?

 

[steds]

That's shocking.

Is your baby going to be French?

 

[Richard]

Nope.

Back to the cricket. It's swinging. Good job the kiwi seamers are all crap.

 

[Jamee999]

Nope.

Then don't call her Dominique.

 

[Richard]

FFS, I've a friend of a friend who's called Dominique, and she's 100% British.

 

[Richard]

Damn, Pietersen gone. O'Brien gets yet another. Hopkins gets his first Test catch.

 

[steds]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jammay123]

nooooooooooooooo KP gone to bloody o'brien

 

[Jamee999]

Btw - I hope you realised you're calling your child both Dick and Dom.

Balls, KPP out.

 

[Nate]

Haha, O'Brien. WAG. Replace Johnson with him.

I'm called Dick and Dick - what's worse?

I suppose me and the missus could always do the new-fangled thing and adopt each-others' surnames, that'd sort it.

 

[Richard]

Just been thinking - why TF couldn't O'Brien have bowled like this against Australia in 2004/05 the bloody useless bugger.

 

[jammay123]

typical kp looks like a million quid then gets out tamely when he could have got so much more.

Or indeed against South Africa last year.

Definitely good to see the New Zealand First Class system can actually be a vaguely reasonable guide to a player's ability though; I started to lose a bit of faith in it once I saw O'Brien those first few times..
