Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Been watching some old highlights and seen a bit of Harbhajan. Can't remember whether anyone talked about it at the time but he clearly chucked most balls didn't he? Might have been more of an issue if he was a better bowler like Ajmal

I'm not sure if this is the place for this post, but it was revealed that the gents toilets at the new stand constructed at the WACA have no urinals. The WACA CEO, Christina Matthews, claims it is a health issue when men splash at the urinals. What research has she to suggest urinals are more 'splash' causing than WCs?

I actually applied for that trial but got knocked back. Apparently you needed to be under 9 inches

He chucked when he bowling the doosra, including his off break at that time. That only lasted a few months though before they pointed out he was taking the piss and he went back to normal.

Didn't really have a problem with his normal offie outside those times.

Sounds right to me at some times he seemed ok but others was just blatantly throwing it

I actually think when he was bowling better was when his action looked cleaner

Stuart Broad was doing punditry on Nottingham Forest's defeat to (Jimmy Anderson's) Burnley on Sky Sports tonight and was very good indeed. Morgan, perhaps tongue in cheek, suggested Broad doesn't even like cricket and played Football Manager constantly. I reckon his media career may extend well beyond cricket.

is broad one of those ****s who will be liked more not as a player but after retirement
Even if you're not English surely everyone has a sneaky or guilty admiration for Broad? He is pure theatre. Which probably explains why he's a natural media presence. I reckon he'll find the Sky box too confining, he'll end up hosting mainstream television as well.

I've got to like Broad more and more as time goes on. I didn't have any special regard for him up until 2015 although I always appreciated "those spells". The 2015 TB test raised him a notch, and then I have more lasting respect when he came back from that dreadful 2017/18 tour of Australia to adapt his game accordingly, not least after working with Hadlee.

I think you might be right, could be the successor to Lineker. Clearly a witty and intelligent bloke, his thoughts on the Sandpaper scandal remain the most perfect and carefully worded response there was.
