As to the point of the thread, Marshall, IMO !
Haha, I think that was a distortion of the story - I think I read somewhere that the drummer had headphones on and when he asked the singer for the title of the track, he misheard what he said, and it stuck.priestfan said:
Mohd Akram never quite made it on the international level. He was a moderately talented lad and also possessed the inherent advantage that comes with height but all his life he had to play in the shadow of the two W's and never quite lived up to his potential even though selectors gave him a fairer chance than most. But he certainly wasn't the most talented Pakistani fastie of the 90's - that honour goes to Mohd. Zahid.
My response was in the direct measure to the contents of your post.
It isn't my job to search for inneundo's and hidden meanings imbued in the text. Taking a post at face value is not a fault.
Besides, I don't think cricket of modern era has become any less interesting. I have been pretty much following cricket since I was old enough to ride a tricycle and I haven't felt any visible decline in the enjoyment level. The original poster should remember that we aren't all mindreaders here. Simpler sentences would not only carry the meaning across more succintly but also diminish the chances of misunderstandings.
Like I said....Beleg said:luckyeddie,
Huh? Did I steal your goat or what? As far as I can recall, I have never enganged in a heated arguement with you, let alone a 'puerile' one.
My comments in this debate weren't even directed your way. Of course, it is your prerogative to continue or abandon the discussion but I do find the whole 'You-win-but-you-are-still-a-muttonhead' tack to be somewhat reminiscent of fourth grade boys slinging off one last insult before disappearing behind the backs of the their mothers and fathers at the end of the school day...
anyway whatever floats your boat, I suppose.
Is there a chance for Zahid to make a come back? I have been somewhat out of touch since I lost interest. Overshadowed by the Ws a lot of bowlers faded before they could come of age.Beleg said:Mohd Akram never quite made it on the international level.

We'll have to agree to disagree here, I think.

Rana Naveed has the ability to turn into a excellent ODI bowler and work well as a test workhorse. Mohd. Shabbir can be devestating on his day but he tends to unravel pretty quickly in the absense of any movement or lateral swing. Shoaib Akhtar is Shoaib Akhtar and others are nothing to write home about.
That's my assessment.
It would've been simpler to say "poetry in motion", but giving us some poetry to describe the motion says it all.priestfan said:
Priestfan, can we keep this area free of the world's greatest music and concentrate on cricket?priestfan said:
Certainly would sir.. I sort of got carried away. To stay the proper course here is one for the rest of the party here. I would like to know if Brian Close was right in implying that Viv had a weakness in facing left arm fast bowlers over the wicket early on in his innings. Brian seemed to think that Viv kept his left elbow a bit too rigid.luckyeddie said:
