Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

The umpire can penalise them for wasting time.

To the point of forfeit?

I don't think so.

What's the lowest total you've ever successfully defended, or failed to get?

Yesterday my VTCA Sunday team was bowled out for 72 off 33 overs, but we got them out for 63.

It was a difficult wicket, but I've definitely seen worse in NZ.

Martin Kent - what may have been

Martin Kent was destined for big things when he scored 140 on debut against a test-strength NSW attack in the first Sheffield Shield match of the 1974/75 season. Unfortunately his career was cruelly cut short by a back injury and he shares his journey with Dean Tuckwell

Good interview with a largely forgotten player. Back injury ruined him just as he was getting going.

Unrelated, I think I might sign up for over 50s next year for a giggle

reckon you should have tried out the Over 50s at least 2 decades ago. It's a young man's game.

Could actually use a walking stick and still hit them better than cterd, based on video evidence

Need some **** to come along here with a serious post about how deleterious this talk might be to my mental health and come to my rescue

Sure. Guys, stop bullying poor ol' Burge.

 

[Burgey]

They could have sledged me about my decisions which have been appealed instead of my age. It could have a bad effect on me etc etc et****ing cetera.

Go for it @Burgey.

If there were a Seniors Comp (I believe they're called Masters) or a one day team available at my old Club, I would have played a lot more games than the handful of "fill-ins" that I enjoyed after I retired at 48. Looking back through our Club archives I see that I played 7 games between 1991 & 94. I have fond memories of those games, even though I took more wickets (21 @ 11.2) than I scored runs (20 @ 3.3).
