He's the only man who has ever tried to take the general techniques of French cricket and transfer them into the mainstream game.
This is a fair comment.
When I did I claim to run an 11-second 100? I've also pointed out several times in this thread that it was a ridiculous freak contact and I've never before come remotely close to connecting with a ball like that...
Thats not what he said.

I do vaguely remember the 11s 100m claim, can't remember the thread though.
My paint trig puts it at closer to 100m, FWIWFun little late-night topic here, motivated by me finding the middle of my bat for possibly the first and only time in my life. The riders to this are that the bowler was 11 years old, he had cleaned me out in the two preceding balls, and my shot selection all afternoon was "try to put it in the college car park", but I finally managed to get one out of the school grounds... and never mind into the car park, well over it.
Estimating the distance off Google Maps and the scale bar suggests 93 metres... it was far further than anything I've ever hit before and probably longer than anything I'll hit again.
I then realised how close I had been to smashing windscreens to pieces and setting a horrible example to impressionable children.
Well dug! A post I never even remember making... I was timed at 12.32 last summer during form athletics by my year six class, which is a time I am happy to take - we begin the carnival of track and field for 2009 next week: I thoroughly expect to be persuaded to make another go at it, and perhaps with the aid of a little stopwatch error the "official PB" can go lower still...
