    *Official* Cricket Web XI in Sri Lanka Discussion and Results

    ...Jayawardene at short-leg. The Sri Lankan captain understood the importance of the wicket, and tossed the ball into the air in delight. His namesake dropped a very tough chance off Butler just short of the close, and CW XI ended the day on 67-2. They will start day four needing 143 runs with...

    *Official* Cricket Web XI in Sri Lanka Discussion and Results

    ...Amla quickly got to bat, as de Villiers failed to keep out a snorter from Gough - yorked for a three-ball duck. Graeme Smith then nicked his namesake to first slip for two, and South Africa had lost their first two wickets for five runs. Patient rebuilding was required - so Kallis decided to...

    *Official* English Football Season 2008-2009

    ...Nasri was easily MOTM, superb when cleaning up down back, setting up attacks or scoring goals. The second goal in particular was quite spectacular, considering the passing and movement that preceded it. Rafael's goal was pretty good too, should just wear a red headband like his TMNT namesake.

    *Official* Cricket Web XI in Sri Lanka Discussion and Results

    ...four hapless wides from Gough, who finished a mediocre opening spell with five overs from 25 - was a poor return, but Smith bowled his namesake for 16 with the even slower ball, and Kallis was caught at point in the 15th over. With the two dangermen out, South Africa proceeded cautiously...

    Cricketing namesakes

    Haha, my name is truly a widespread one, ITBT. Was astonished when I first Googled it at how many different hits it brought-up. My favourite namesake is this guy. Went to see them a few years ago even though I'm no Hendrix fan at all, was vaguely impressed. Went and spoke to him after the...

    Signtaure!?!?!

    I'd sign you up if punnage was on the agenda without a hesitation, dear namesake. You signify all that is good about the pursuit.

    ***Official*** Stanford Super Series

    There was also Hampshire vs England at The Rose Bowl in 2005. I know, as I and my namesake were there. This useless bastard chickened-out though.

    ICC allows batting team to choose one Powerplay

    The interesting thing about what my namesake Edmunds and Somerset mention is that 46-50 would possibly be the least useful time to take a Powerplay, and if batting sides regularly do this it'll work to the bowling team's advantage. Carnage already ensues in the last 5 overs. The sort of time a...

    *Official* Australia in CWLand

    ...ton of the game and wrap up a very much deserved Man of the Match award. Clarke ended the session on an exciting note, and he and his namesake started it in similar fashion. Pete Young failed to add to his lunchtime score of 28 before he was trapped lbw by Stuart Clark. And Cloete added a...

    *Official* Season XIV Discussion and Results

    ...their chances, however. They recovered from 0-1 to 74-1, then a Shane Warne brace set them back. The blonde bombshell handed over to his namesake, Bond, and the New Zealand paceman shot through the batting to claim 6 for 53. John Heads stood his ground with 41, but after he did all the hard...

    CricketWeb Tennis - Season I

    ...impressed all by making it through to the round of 16 on the opening day at Doha in the Qatar ExxonMobil Open. Drake came up against Chilean namesake Jefferson Quezada and managed to come back from a set down for a terrific start to Season I. Quezada and the impressive Drake were rock solid...

    *Official* Season XIV Discussion and Results

    ...the Blues ended on a positive 47-0. Pete Young hardly added to his overnight score when he played around a quick Josh Forner ball, and his namesake, Stephen, was caught flicking uppishly to square leg. The Blues stood in difficulty at 57-2 before the middle order took over. Sean Fuller geared...

    ***Official*** South Africa in England

    As my namesake said, Boje was far from a tailender. He wasn't an out-and-out batsman, but he was a genuine all-rounder.

    Battle of the Australians - Mk II

    Tiger could be acerbic too, when he wanted. Tough draw for Slats and O'Neill - the latter hugely underrated as a player. Still have to run with Bill O'Reilly though.

    Battle of the Australians - Mk II

    Indeed, and tarnished. Nasty piece of work, his namesake.

    Milestones

    I'd argue I prefer Gerry Refferty too, as well as my near-namesake Rick. JK Martyn. And I won't comment on the fact that I probably have more posts now than every housewife ever to post on CW for however long it exists combined will ever have too.

    Sanath v/s Kallis

    Was considering saying what your namesake Bowen said in that post you've just quoted, but he beat me to it. I hope such people who voted Jayasuriya did so because they realised how completely OOTQ the idea of him being a better Test all-rounder was so simply assumed the question wasn't remotely...
