Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

I find it funny you continue on your Herath Crusade when the whole world knows he's His Roundness.

TPC showing his class by wishing his Indian friends happy Diwali. You never see a spud like Lolhi wishing his Australian friends a Happy Australia Day.

Mostly because he has no friends.

I saw sachin and hayden wish each other a happy birthday and happy Diwali and I want to die now

Tendulkar didn't hear Hayden's well wishes.

He can have two nicknames. Just like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was also The People's Champion.

Rangana 'His Roundness' Herath, The People's Champion.

Has a good echo to it tbh

Surely this is just confusion of acronyms. One is The People's Choice while the other is The Pudgy Chub.

This thread is where every post about cricket which isn't the Ashes should be made.

ball from a spinner landed flush on my big toe at training and now the outside quarter the toe is all gross and black and red, looks like it's been butchered carefully

I'd perhaps consider renaming CC

Trivial thing, but I really like that there's a proper boundary rope and not those godawful sponsor sponges in the Aus vs. SA test.

[h=2]My biggest challenge in the morning is making sure I make the team bus.[/h]Joe Root leaves the job of worrying about who will foot the tour bills in India - the BCCI or the ECB - to those in charge




surely, this confirms Joe Root is on CW, right?

Slippy's latest thread got be looking at Sobers' Cricinfo profile, which contains the following 'In a nutshell' information:

"While Bradman's status as the greatest batsman is increasingly under threat, no one raises an eyebrow at Garry Sobers being called the greatest allrounder. He broke the record for the highest Test score - 365 - at 21, could bowl left-arm orthodox, wrist spin and fast-medium, and was a brilliant fielder anywhere on the ground. He was also the first player to hit six sixes in an over in a first-class game "

I was surprised to read the bold section - admittedly I don't know when it was written, but does anyone have an idea who it's referring to or is it just hyperbole? The only person that I can think it would possibly refer to would be Voges, and even then it would make it a fairly tongue-in-cheek statement.
