One of my mates' flatmates (female flatmates) slept with him a few weeks back, so he's obviously doing something right.

Whoa. So you're practically famous by extension then?

****ing hell.

Vicariousness is the word you're looking for

 

[Barney Rubble]

Whoa. So you're practically famous by extension then?

Oh yeah. I won the Ashes.

 

[Pratters]

Dont know famous or not. But could mean Bell>Warne.

 

[chris.hinton]

Shoaib is a pillock for doing that to Pietersen

Afridi is a Cheat dont mension Bell as a Cheat

Bell is also > Mathematical notation.

I bet she's sweating and farting about whether he's reached the legal age of consent.

Naw. They're both cheats. Bell just has *** appeal on his side.

I think they are pals, and it was a bit of fun. I really hope no action is taken - that would be too silly.

Question is, two weeks ago, was it Collingwood>Bell>Bradman/Warne? Fletch thought so.

So if Collingwood > Bell > Bradman/Warne, then Fletcher < Competent?

Oh the intrigue!

 

[Barney Rubble]

Oh the intrigue!

And the thing is, for Durham, Mike Hussey > Collingwood, yet during the Ashes, Collingwood > anyone else as a replacement for Simon Jones, yet Simon Jones > most of the Aussie batsmen in the Ashes, and all of the Aussie batsmen > Hussey, as he didn't play.

So does that mean John Buchanan < Competent?

Interesting theory. But I think it boils down to one thing... John Buchanan < Soberiety.

Ahem...

To summarise:

Competent > Fletcher > Collingwood > Bell > Bradman/Warne > Wombat > Buchanan.

Yeah, that's probably right.

In this day and age, it makes a refreshing change to see a bowler deliver the ball with a straight arm.

You look away as Flintoff bowls?

 

[Shahid Afridi]

it is thrilling to watch shoaib akhtar bowl, i still cant get over that 1st test's giles wicket....pure quality

 

[Mecnun]

You look away as Flintoff bowls?

Naaa I bet he watches him all the time..only turning away on the effort ball

The penny drops! S_A_6 is Peter Roebuck!

Just been watching the highlights. Nice to have a largely controversy-free day, Shoaib's turkey-trot aside (what was its significance, if any? I'm intrigued to know). Full respect to Shoaib too, he bowled a storm today. He out hetero'd KP & Fred (what was Fred's shot supposed to be, BTW?) and his over to Gilo was amazing. Yorker after yorker on the reel which Ash did rather superbly to keep out.

I've decided I love Danish Kaneria too. Not because he had an iffy day today, but because he's such an old fashioned specialist of the like we don't see too often nowadays. Not only is his batting charmingly cack, but his fielding is delightfully dismal as well!

Good day for us I thought. If Gilo & the tail can get us to within 30 we might have a game on our hands. I think the draw is favourite now, but any result is conceivably possible. I think Inzi's best chance of winning the game is to leave us with a faint sniff, whether that means scoring quickly & being bowled out or a sporting-ish declaration. However @ 1-0 up I think Pakistan will go down the pragmatic route to ensure we can't win even if it lessens their own chances of forcing a result.

You might hate us, but our series are pretty damn good to watch!
