Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

GAS is defo a cricket tragic when he randomly thinks about Rod McCurdy and NCN Love it.

Who doesn't randomly think of Rod McCurdy? Though I occasionally confuse him with John Maguire.

Those Rebel guys are all the same.

Bloody hell he became the definition of journeyman. Played for 3 Provinces, 3 State sides & 1 County in the end.

Also had the two 'Hs', Hogan and Hohns. Man have we produced a lot mediocre spin bowlers over the years.

Lately whenever I go on cricinfo and see another avalanche of overnight T20 franchise scorecards (most of which feature the same 5 or 6 IPL franchise names transplanted onto various parts of the world map) I get flooded with this overwhelming sense of dread and loss.

You may feel better when MI Auckland make an appearance?

Hopefully he isn’t too damaged and has learned a lesson.

What lesson? Kids like that crave all kinds of attention, good and bad.

He'll be jealous to know I saw McCurdy play for Australia in a one dayer at the SCG in the early 80s (I think it was the 82/83 season).

Edit: was 84/85

I listend to Mark Howard's podcast i/v with TOTAB and he asked who he wished he'd spent more itme with looking back over his career. He said Kerry Packer, that he'd like to "know what motivated him" and I was thinking he was looking for insights into WSC or business, but then he said "he paid a few players to abandon the rebel tour to SA and play int eh 85 Ashes series - guys like Graeme Wood and Kepler Wessels. I want to know why he didn't pay Alderman, McCurdy and Rackemann!"

Hohns famously ended up playing 5 tests in the 89 Ashes triumph.
