Forgotten Cricketers?

[SJS]

Welcome back mate. btw is that your son in the photo?

No. Its Fardin aka Bob, a charming young member of CW who died tragically in a road accident last year.

PS : My sons are older.

 

[Richard]

Yes, I know that.

But the only real reason he was in the squad was as a back up for injury to Jones - because there was no fill in in Trescothick (for one thing I believe getting anyone else out to Zimbabwe would've been a political nightmare bearing in mind the regime over there and their attitude to visas)

Therefore he was out there so given a game as he was then being selected out of a squad of 14/15 rather than had the game been in England (where there were so many more available)

Err, I actually hadn't spotted that.

You're right there.

 

[Richard]

There was this great Kiwi leg spinner...what was his name ???

Bill Bell

Oh yes and then there was that wonderfully explosive opener in the fifties from England...er...er..

Arthur Milton

And of course how can one forget that express fast bowler from India...now what was he called ???

Mohammad Nissar

How about that soft spoken, polite fast bowler from Australia....I cant seem to remember....

Graham McKenzie

Err, I actually hadn't spotted that.

You're right there.

Did think you'd not noticed it to be honest.

Is this a CW first though - Richard admits I'm right about something?!!!

Following on from last week's first of me giving him praise.

Nurse, I need my medication...

 

[Richard]

Ah, admitting a (rare) mistake will "make me a more respected poster", after all... that's what people have been telling me for years...

TBF, you did give me some credit for something... in about December 2003 as I remember...

Sometimes you scare me, TBH...

 

[Richard]

Oh.

Sorry 'bout that.

 

[Ross Douglas]

Azhar Mahmood was so forgotten for so long that I forgot about it.

Great to see he's finally back, and not before time.

Pakistani selectors are awful.

 

[Richard]

For recalling him?

Yeah, they are.

 

[Ross Douglas]

For recalling him?

Yeah, they are.

Fletcher would give his left testicle to be able to pick someone of his calibre for England.

He'd have 200 caps by now. Must suck to know that he would walk into your side.

 

[Richard]

Mahmood and Afridi?

 

[Ross Douglas]

Mahmood and Afridi?

"Your" own Mahmood wouldn't get anywhere near the Pakistan squad.

 

[Richard]

And?

 

[Ross Douglas]

And?

You have a history of having key players consist of other nations rejects.

 

[Richard]

Err, Sajid Mahmood being a reject from where, precisely?

 

[PhoenixFire]

You have a history of having key players consist of other nations rejects.

If you are implying KP from SA, then you are seriously mistaken. Mickey Arthur would live his right tesicle and lower sperm duct for KP.

 

[Ross Douglas]

Err, Sajid Mahmood being a reject from where, precisely?

Craig White.

Both Hollioaks.

 

[Richard]

Sajid Mahmood being a reject from Craig White and the Hollioakes...

And speaking of the Hollioakes, and Mahmood... you did mention key players? If so, you've rather made an ass of yourself... again.

 

[Ross Douglas]

Sajid Mahmood being a reject from Craig White and the Hollioakes....

Just too good, that. Real clever stuff right there.

You should be ashamed for not being able to resist reducing yourself to that, poindexter.

Unless you really are so dense, that you were thrown by what should have been an easy enough deviance to catch on to, for any one over about five years of age.

I already treat educating you as if you were an idiot. It appears I need to dumb down the structure to an even more basic level.

You have done nothing but cal him a load of insults there, without really explaining why you're right. Seems to me that you know Richard is right and you're wrong.
