Yup & whilst holding a good a cup of British tea in one hand.

No better tea than Ceylon tea certainly better than our catching

Think Hendo will get his wish and we'll see Latham opening by the end of pool play.

 

[Dick Rockett]

No no no no no.

Imagine the angst trying to judge a 6/out situation when the fielder is standing on or over the rope. It is just fine how it is.

I wasn't referring to 6s.

He'll be distraught when he reads the name of the ship our opening options are sailing.

Hey, when I say good old British tea, I'm effectively meaning tea grown in India or SL

Although I did read they are actually growing tea in Cornwall of all places these days.

I wouldn't be against it, but I highly doubt it. The McHessgar gang will keep persevering with Guppy through thick & thin.

So you'll have different rules for boundaries depending on whether the ball has bounced or not? Sounds sensible.

 

[YorksLanka]

Surely it must be time for a crazy run out with these two batting together..

 

[Bahnz]

Maybe, but with the way he's batting atm, the pressure on him, and by extension McHessgar, is only going to build and build over the next month.

Fair to say, as much as I like him, I'll be voting against 16 tins of Spam's run as president of the ICC.

We award different numbers of runs based on those things, so they clearly aren't the same thing.

Cricket has hundreds of rules, and lots of them get changed around over time.

Guys, what are the orange t- shirts with the targets on them in the crowd as they seem popular?

 

[Bahnz]

Taylor looking less side on against the quicks. Good to see.

Look, unless you can afford the favours and backhanders, no one's giving you a vote

What they are is bull****.

It's a part of a local competition run by a beer company called Tui. If somebody catches a 6 one handed they get tickets to the World Cup final. If they do it during the World Cup, they win $100,000.

Well this is true, perhaps the only saving grace for Guppy is his series ave of 24 @ 72 looks good next to his good mate's of 18 @ 62. Hopefully that good mate comes good today, early signs are good.

Oh crap, really? I was looking forward to not seeing or hearing about it during the World Cup.

Oh I see, thanks for that Bahnz, I wondered why they were so popular..
