Graeme Smith attacks Graeme Smith

Having fallen out with every other test captain Graeme Smith came to blows with himself yesterday.
After exchanging several heated words throughout the recent test things seemed to come to a head after Smith called himself through for a suicidal single and was run out. After pushing & shoving himself repeatedly Smith threw several punches & had to be restrained.
After stumps a still visibly angry Smith told reporters, “Who the hell do I think I am? There was never a single there, but I just wouldn’t admit it. I can’t believe I punched myself, is that any way for a captain to behave? I've lost whatever respect I had for Graeme Smith after that. I shall give evidence against myself to the referee if called. I’m an absolute disgrace.”
Micky Arthur, however, was determined to stand by his captain. He commented, “Yes, yes I know. But it’s him or Kallis, so what’re you gonna do?”

Cult Responsible For Murder Of Taufel

The finger of blame for the murder of umpire Simon Taufel has been squarely pointed at a fanatical cult of Ajit Agarkar fans.
The group, who call themselves the Ajit Agarkar Appreciation Society, were reportedly incensed at Taufel's decision to turn down an lbw appeal when Agarkar struck Kevin Pietersen, who went on to score 169, on the pads, and are believed to have commited the crimein retaliation to that. A number of arrests have been made, including one in Warwickshire, England.
When asked to comment on the situation, Agarkar said "It's great to have loyal fans, but now they're just making an aaas out of themselves."

If anyone ever throws 6 overthrows, I'll by "101 ways to eat a computer", thanks.

In an international match that was shown on tv or any match?

One of our guys has actually given away 6 overthrows before in a club game...

 

[Chubb]

I've seen six overthrows happen... like this:

1. player hits the ball into off side
2. non-striker reacts late for the call, and fielder shies at the stumps
3. he misses and the batsmen run an overthrow
4. another fielder shies at the stumps, misses and the batsmen run another overthrow
5. the ball is returned to the bowler, who, disgusted, hurls it into the gound only for it to run away to the boundary for 4.

Jeff Thomson in "No Opinion to offer" shock

Friends & family of the ageing turd-haired rent-a-divot are said to be "Horrified & appalled" when the Lillee-tailcoat grasper passed a stray microphone and offered no grossly ill-informed or wildly unfounded opinions. In an impromptu press conference John Howard said "I reckon that Muralitharan chucks, you know. Wait, come back...."

Haha, heard a physio tell a story how Lillee, Thomson and this physio went to speak at a fast bowlers convention sort of thing, in front of hundreds of people from world wide. Lillee had an hour worth of speech prepared, talking about techniques, biomechanics, everything, and was fantastic.

Thommo got up and gave it the old, "Well, I think Dennis has pretty much covered most of it..." and just talked tripe and was a disgrace.

Ajit Agarkar scores match winning 502* and helps India chase 510 after being 8/9. He previously took 10/0 during Australia's innings, triggering an amazing collapse after Australia had been 509/0....
