I can't remember Watson ever playing a significant test innings (genuine answer)

Then you clearly have a poor memory.

Like this couple better.

 

[benchmark00]

Good pair.

 

[Red]

Legit or fakes? Cos I wont tolerate the latter #choosybastard

 

[kyear2]

Good point, don't like them fake either.

 

[NUFAN]

Now that's a keeper.

Who cares? When you get to my age it doesn't matter whether they are real or fake

 

[Coronis]

I'd say they're much better than anything Watson's done.

 

[Jono]

Watson doesn't need to see that pair, he's already stiff enough.

When you saw Bradman bat, were women in the crowd wearing this type of attire?

Just Watson? I'd say they'd be better than anything a bunch of blokes who frequent a cricket forum have done.


Apart from me.

A philosophical point Monk?

I'd like to suggest the opposite. A great Test match innings involves perseverance, dedication, endurance, and in many cases courage (I'm thinking of Bert Sutcliffe V Neil Adcock in particular). But importantly, a great Test match innings only lasts a day or two. No more.

On-the-other-hand, Life lasts more than a day or two. Instead it lasts many decades and never ceases till death happens. Yet by sheer necessity Life requires the same kind of perseverance, dedication, endurance, and in every case - courage. Tons of it.

For cricket is just a metaphor, and a very pale representation of the Life that we all lead. Even cricket forum blokes.

All true my friend. But I think we were talking about ****!

hmmm.. how long before someone argues THAT requires patience, endurance, courage and dedication too?

 

[kyear2]

They do.
