Dropping the spinner at Headingley is a trope that always pops up but the last 2 tests there both had spinners taking heaps. It's not 1985

Yeah NZ played 4 seamers last team, the pitch turned square from day 2 and Swann took a hat full. Let's not make that mistake again.

i am promoting lord kippax to his eminence kippax after his admonishment of said pewsian one.

Nah well it's understandable how Cribb became a bit of a patchwork quilt of interesting grammatical and linguistic choices, for mine.

A half-English kid with a Mensa level IQ, a near-pedigree trying to tough it out with the alley cats in Sydney's western suburbs. An attentive and fretful English mother, a blithe and facetious Aussie father. Cribb is negotiating what psychologists would call a cruel double bind. Both he and I became cricket obsessives who refuse to let familiar hobbyhorses or minor irritations slide, which is interesting.

If the Yorkshire weather is anything like the North West, then go to bed kiwis.

Biggest anticlimax ever.

How did he manage to get 7 likes is what I am wondering. He has cast a spell over us.

Nah Kippax is like 50 year old Scotch - good in small doses but you don't want to go diluting it with coke and drinking it every week.*

*also tastes kinda weird

I appreciate what your saying but I'll drink that scotch and coke and enjoy it.

Gets that makes up my mind between studying and watching cricket this weekend. If we lose the first day and more to rain I don't fancy watching a game where we will struggle to get through 3 innings.

What do you mean how? That Kippax post was genius. The bloke is a deadset wordsmith. He's operating on a completely different level.

A wild KIPPAX appeared!

KIPPAX used CONFUSION

It's super effective!

if you can afford 50 year old scotch every week then you do what you want

Just received the following text from a mate of mine in Leeds, who's incidentally a rugby-league man who has little interest in cricket, but loves seeing NZ lose at anything purely so he can wind me up;

"Greetings old chap. Never been less miserable to see such a miserable day dawning here. Little chance of anything other than a 1-0 scoreline, 4 more years for you lads" (cheeky smiley not enclosed)

Couldn't help but like this post even though I barely understood a word. I think it's the italic for mine that did it for me.
