Shakib Al Hasan vs Ian Botham / Burgey vs *****

[Burgey]

No, you eat both and count your blessings. Who the **** ignores a dish with good flavor just because it looks bad? This is just dumb. You're dumb.

Because I live in a democracy, I have a choice as to which dishes I choose to eat. So if I am faced with a culinary Ganguly - a pretty cover drive of a dish but with no substance of flavour, then I have the option of ignoring it and heading over to the Damien Martyn of dishes - one which is both aesthetically pleasing and substantial. If Damien Martyn is not available, then I would proceed to a Ponting of a dish - one which is masterful, substantial and meaty.

Whereas you have to settle for whichever dish is dropped off at your local 7-11 by the Comintern.

Another emphatic win for *****. Wrapped up this Test within 3 days. Now where's slippy.

 

[Burgey]

Anyone whose been to India will tell you the best food isn't found in the restaurants, but in the streets, amongst the pollutions, animals and open sewers.

I don't expect you to understand tho. We've established clearly your idea of 'Good Food' is one that's laid out to you in an indoor, well decorated, air conditioned restaurant, off of an overpriced menu, and that passes through an apprentice design artist to make it look appealing before it reaches your table.

You're opinion is invalid I'm afraid. Stick to Masterchef.

Why would I want to go to India when I can head to Malabar and get the same aromatic experience as a walk around the food markets would afford me?

You're an Ian Botham. Good in his hey day, but now riding by on past glories and somehow still finding success here and there despite mostly delivering dross and make poor shot selections.

Time to hang it up Burgey.

May as well wave a white flag at this point.

 

[Burgey]

You were outclassed from the get go mate.

 

[Athlai]

So how long you two been married for?

 

[Starfighter]

This has been a good partnership between these two.

 

[cnerd123]

Burgey, as usual, unable to just shut up in a thread and observe.

 

[Athlai]

This has been a good partnership between these two.

I would've sworn I was third most in this one.

 

[Burgey]

Decent.

 

[Burgey]

The challenge here is push on and make a heroic double ton while surrounded by the fetid, filthy open sewer of *****’s posts; like Deano in Chennai.

 

[Starfighter]

Reminds me of this match: Scorecard - 2010 England v Pakistan - 26/08/2010

Not much contribution by the first few posters, but things really got going later on.

And then after that you can throw up your lunch, which tbf probably tastes better going out than going in

 

[Burgey]

In Deano's case it probably did.

Not many people know about that innings. He hardly ever mentions it.

 

[Daemon]

Back on topic - First meal in Portugal was lovely. Simple fresh seafood that did not require masking with excessive spices to be delicious.

I'm glad you reminded me. I'd forgotten all about it.

 

[TheJediBrah]

When the mrs asks why you don't pay her as much attention as you used to make sure she understands that those 185 posts in a thread on a cricket forum were more than worth it

 

[Burgey]

As opposed to the 55,730 odd others?

Looking forward to ian botham vs shakib part II
