Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

A team of Michaels might be pretty good.

Michael Carberry
Michael Slater
Michael Vaughan (c)
Michael Bevan
Michael Clarke
Michael Hussey
Michael Lumb (w/k)
Michael Neser
Michael Holding
Michael Kasprowicz
Michael Beer

Coach: Michael Buchanan

I had to get a bit creative with a couple of the bowlers and give Lumb the gloves, despite him never having done it before but this is an international quality side.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

But that is a first name team. Who would be the equivalent first name opposition?

Hanif Mohammad, Mushtaq Mohammad etc. say hi

An XI of Dicks would be pretty handy. Barry, Viv, Hadlee. Cheating I know.

Does Hardik and Dickwella qualify?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

While we're at it, throw in Salman Butt and Josh Buttler in there as well.

 

[trundler]

I actually posted a genital XI here once heh

 

[trundler]

Graham Coochie
Jack Knobs
Ricky Poontang
Willie Hammond
Victor Trumpet
Vajayjay Hazare
Quinton De Kock
Peter Pollock
Harold Lar-wood
Waqar Penis
Be**** Singh Bedi

I'm inexplicably proud of this.

Because why not

 

[mr_mister]

I think Graham and Allan are the strongest first names if you account for the slight difference in spelling

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Mark and Steve make two good teams as well

 

[AndrewB]

About 50 years ago I think Jack would win: Hobbs, Fingleton, Hearne, Ryder, Russell, Gregory, Crawford, Blackham, Cowie, Hearne...

WTF is happening to SL cricket?

Thisara Perera has raised questions about the ODI team's leadership with Sri Lanka Cricket in the aftermath of a social media beef between him and captain Lasith Malinga's wife. He has also described the team as "a laughing stock to the whole country" because of the exchanges unfolding on social media, and asked that the board "intervene".

Thisara calls for SLC intervention after social media squabble with Malinga's wife | ESPNcricinfo.com

 

[Andy1993]

SLC is a mess and has been for ages now, in rapid decline and falling away at an alarming rate, and things like this don't help their situation!!

 

[Burgey]

Absolutely hilarious

 

[TheJediBrah]

Why is Lasith Malinga's wife the captain? That's unusual

 

[Burgey]

Tactically very astute, by all reports.

What's the deal with bowling the ball in from the outfield. I don't see it anymore, but used to be very common practice. I always threw so wonder why people would bowl it in (bowling into the air - not on the ground). Was this because your arm was pissweak? Was it more accurate if you never practiced throwing? What?
