The trouble with Birmingham is that it couldn't be a Clarkewatch - HRH Surrey are in the poor people's division.

Seriously, I'm happy to come over to Birmingham for a meet - say early June-ish?

 

[Richard]

Nah, Richard's wicket came when the other opener played a nothing shot and guided a nothing ball to backward point/gully. The photo above is when Yaxley nicked it to the keeper but the umpire didn't notice.

He did nick it then?
Would be fair to say that no-one but Rob (the wicketkeeper, for everyone else) noticed - I certainly didn't think it was out, as demonstrated by my "oh, er, howsat?" expression.

So are you taking out a contract because the criminal didn't walk?

I bet he eats Kit Kats AND Milky Bars too.

 

[Richard]

Sure

Good God, your own expressions while bowling really are amazing when you've never seen them!

Yeah, he nicked it. Told me as much when I came out to umpire. Asked me what my stance was on walking...

 

[Richard]

Looks like you're doing Andre Nel there, to me.

Nah, it was right-arm-fingerspin going in the wrong direction.

 

[Richard]

Nah, Richard's wicket came when the other opener played a nothing shot and guided a nothing ball to backward point/gully.

Err, excuse me, that was a reasonably good away-swinging delivery that drew the slash (couldn't be called a drive) and a simple skied catch to Gully.

 

[Richard]

So are you taking out a contract because the criminal didn't walk?

I bet he eats Kit Kats AND Milky Bars too.

That'll be Milkybars...
As I say - I didn't even hear anything, so I can hardly complain.

 

[Richard]

Yeah, he nicked it. Told me as much when I came out to umpire. Asked me what my stance was on walking...

Daym, never knowingly missed a nick before when bowling...
Maybe if I'd appealed as Rob did he'd have walked...

 

[luckyeddie]

That'll be Milkybars...
As I say - I didn't even hear anything, so I can hardly complain.

I just checked - even Nestlé themselves are ambiguous - one of their milky thingys has it as two words on two separate lines, the other one word on one.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Err, excuse me, that was a reasonably good away-swinging delivery that drew the slash (couldn't be called a drive) and a simple skied catch to Gully.

I weren't watching properly anyway. And you'd never get my v-c to walk no matter how many of you went oop.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Nah, it was right-arm-fingerspin going in the wrong direction.

Yeah, just the way you've arrived at the crease, body shape etc reminds me of Nel.

 

[Richard]

Hmm...

 

[Richard]

Yeah, just the way you've arrived at the crease, body shape etc reminds me of Nel.

Oh, as I say - I didn't really "arrive" at the crease at all, just stood there and rolled over my arm.

 

[Richard]

I weren't watching properly anyway. And you'd never get my v-c to walk no matter how many of you went oop.

What, he wouldn't walk having skied one to Gully?

 

[Neil Pickup]

What, he wouldn't walk having skied one to Gully?

You know what I mean!

Would be an interesting one...
Is c.h as clueless in real-life as he is on here...
Or is it all an act, a-la FRAZ...?

Can I hold his jacket while he chins you?

That's interesting - Ian Blackwell just stands there and rolls over the return crease.
