Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

[honestbharani]

Not unless your caught others percentage is atypically high. Then the rest can be typically moderate.

And I am looking forward to seeing England celebrate a wicket maintaining one arm distance from each other in Sri Lanka. Its going to be like school assembly all over again.

 

[Heboric]

surely he's joking

Its on the BBC website as well, so i guess its legit

Allan Border had 16 lbw dismissals in 265 innings.

Might be hard getting a lefty out LBW during those days

 

[Burgey]

Was out bowled an atypically high percentage though (24%).

He used to chop on a bit tbh. Usually due to fatigue after carting the bowling around for hours on end.

 

[Red]

I've been lbw 3 times in well over 100 innings of club cricket

I favour the offside and rarely play across the line, mainly opting to play straight to straight balls

I'd imagine people like Phil Hughes(who seemed to score so many runs between point and cover) would also have really low lbw percentage

I got out LBW a lot. Always fancied I was Mark Waugh with my ability to clip it behind square or leg glance it.

I wasn't Mark Waugh.

 

[Red]

surely he's joking

Why would he be? Seems a smart move from an infection control perspective.

 

[Daemon]

They should refuse to shine the ball with saliva as well

 

[mr_mister]

Be so funny if sandpaper ended up becoming the only safe way of manipulating the ball if saliva was deemed too unhygienic

 

[h_hurricane]

That's cuz he always sold his partners up the river

What's his LBW rate like?

From what I read, Kapil was only ever involved in two run outs in his long career !. Both occasions it was Syed Kirmani (not the greatest of runners) who was dismissed.

Here is Kapil's dismissal summary

Caught : 112
Bowled : 25
LBW : 28
Stumped : 4

#crickethighlights on Instagram is flooded with Nathan Coulter-Nile clips and memes and I don't understand why someone would do this

I have been spelling my GFs name as 'Lillee' for thr last few months. I found out she spells it as 'Lily' a few days ago.

I met another girl with the same name last night. Turns out she also spells it as 'Lily', and this is apparently a normal thing.

I seem to have been calling my GF by the name of a ***y, mustchioed, fast bowling man beast for the past few months.

Yeah man, Lillee wouldn't even be in the top four spellings of this name.

 

[Burgey]

I think this is magnificent.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Could be worse. Could have called her Dennis, which I can tell you, they do NOT like

I do have to watch my phone's auto correct. Often it'll misspell words to be cricketer's names. Or Ellyse Perry - Ellyse pretty.

once heard of a guy called Denephew

his parents had wanted a girl

Does she have chest hair?
And ohhhh, that seductive delivery stride?

Then she's a keeper (not the dude behind the stumps ).

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Naming children after noted sportspeople isn't uncommon, but I have never met or heard of anyone called Lillee

I will make sure she pracitces her gait and stops shaving her chest. She may never be Lille ***y, but a guy can dream...
