Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

[Lillian Thomson]

At some point the T20 World Cup presumably gets it's own thread, but looking at the draw and some fixtures it seems a bit a bit odd that Sri Lanka have to play in a qualifying group and it'll be interesting to see if Afghanistan are allowed out.

There is this wife thing again. The fact that has become a thing is so sad for us as a species. But redeeming that Richie's hat beats her out.

I typed his name in the other day and laughed when I saw the hat second on the list.

It's nearly always in the top 3 searches for all sportsmen. Goes to show in our matriarchal society all anyone really cares about is the women. Sad!

I figure that most of the searches come from cricket mad India

 

[TheJediBrah]

Nah same thing happens with AFL players and other sports that India wouldn't even know exist

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Those who make the footballs would probably know something of its existence

Since we've been talking about John Snow elsewhere: here's he's decided that if you're going to bowl a no-ball, it's worth making a proper job of it.

Ah, but look at what your own countryman was getting away with:



I think the only drag I've seen longer than Trueman's is Alan Brown.
