*Official* Second Test at Lords

[Magrat Garlick]

Man, you'd be gutted.

Wouldn't go again, personally. Clearly a bad luck charm.

 

[Richard]

Sigh. Are we going to have to make it two for two on Game Thread closures?

Do it IMO. Symmetary FTW. In any case, why would it matter?

 

[Burgey]

And Punter thought England decided the venues deliberately

If you left here and went over to Planet Cricket, you could simultaneously increase the collective IQ of both fora.

Think about it. Very seriously. Please.

Was browsing the 0607 Ashes forum before Burgey, read one of your early posts in there. No mention of mints, polite towards the English and when you said nice things about Chris Read you said, "apologies to the thread starter" who was some tool with a username worshipping Read's rival for the gloves.

What happened man? Was this just lulling us all into a false sense of security?

I was young. I've grown into it.

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.....

I was young.

36 is young now? I feel hopelessly old.

It's the climate mate. Find some sunshine, get out and about, kill some wildlife and eat meat.

You'll feel much better

 

[Matt79]

Lol.

But be careful when you go to a shop and ask for mince. If you get misunderstood you might find yourself turning into someone with a striking ability to humble Crim batsmen.

Borrowing Muldoon's line, eh Burgey?

Nice quotage, Burgey.

Blimey, one bloke says a fairly ridiculous comment about Freddie when he's bowling an epic and historic spell, and it gets jumped on by all and sundry and then some of that criticism is called brilliant.

I think the next time an Aussie supporter says "I want sids babies" after he gets out a tailender, I'll write a long post about it being anatomically impossible and he's not the best looking bloke in the world anyway.

As for criticism of Freds celebration. What the ****. Has anyone thought he was standing still and not running around like a madman because his knee is ****ed and he's taking injections just to get through the game. Particularly galling from a ManU fan, presumably hated Cantona's reaction to goals.

Steyn by far the best fast-bowler in the world, BTW.

In all fairness mate, there is a slight difference between "I want Sid's babies" which is clearly a joke and "Flintoff, World best bowler?" which I assumed was a serious question/statement or are you suggesting he was joking?

I'm suggesting it was hyperbole of the moment, not exactly a measured statement.

I have to rather doubt it, ITBT.

Thread unstuck.

Woo.
Huhoo.

Good ol Piggy. Made some quotables, that's for sure.
