Stephen Fleming to retire from International Cricket

[Burgey]

The last polite post he ever made

You’ve no idea how big a compliment that is to me

Burgey was actually a gigantic softie* until 2008 or 2009.

*he still is, just not often on here.

Are we quite sure there wasn’t an early prototype of chatgpt that Burgey was experimenting with back in 2008?

PEWS?

 

[trundler]

Hope not.

You know the bad thing. Being the 2000s you know that post is dead serious since its so formal and pleasant. But reading it as Burgey now, it looks dripping with sarcasm and insincerity.

I'll bite.



Fleming، Imran, Wadekar, Lloyd, Worrell.

Lol Fleming. Please.

On my previous forum we had a thread celebrating or perhaps more critiquing players who so often got to fifty but rarely made it to three figures, named after a certain Warwickshire and England batter of recent years.

Fleming, though, was in a different league. I struggle to understand if the cases of players like Fleming, Redpath and Mathews are down to technical or mental issues, or just a statistical quirk.

With Ranatunga at least, possibly fatigue

True, but Latham played the 290 game and scored 36 and 15 tbf.

How unlike him.
