Really hope that this is not how most people in Manchester talk. Was planning on visiting in the near future.

Well test quality 90 mph bowlers. Sami bowled 90 mph & well you no the rest..

That's not what you said but anyway.....

Never heard anyone in Manchester talk like that.

Mind you I've never heard anyone use most of the words Aussie uses.

 

[aussie]

Discernible examples Aussie or I call revisionism. The only wicket which was quick in the series was Durban day two, which was rapid. The Cape Town test was played on concrete and anyone who dropped short there was dispatched. Harmy would have lasted all of five overs on that.

Well yea i was refering to mainly what occured in Jo'Burg & Durban instead of CT.

Looking at ENG fixtures for the tour, tests are in Centurion, Durban, CT & PE. Centurion & CP are likely to flat i guees. Whats P.E like these days?

Well yes, my bad for not being clearer. I prematurely presumed everyone would equate the idea of having a 90 mph bowler with quality & not just for the sake of it.

 

[aussie]

You say "Piece of cloth used to absorb menstral blood" everyday?

Ha, no yo. The meaning is not literal.

If you f*cking your wife/gf & before you stick it. You see the menstral blood, i presume you would say WTF, yuck, bitch get out of the room etc etc right?

In Jamaican dialect the menstral blood is called rass & the women use a cloth (usually tamponds) to clean themselves, so comes the term rassclath.

So in everyday language that term has been elaborated for use in any situation as an expression of surprise, distgust, frustration. This is what the urban dicsh*tandberry doesn't tell you.

Its just a cultural thing, no need to dwell on it..

So, how about that Steve Harmison?

PE is lively, swing and seam aplenty and South Africa don't win there.

Asif got the ball to go round corners there whilst Shoaib bounced the South Africans out on it before crying foul second innings.

But Harmison isn't quality.

He's retiring. So this thread needs a new direction.

I'm all for a bit of casual misogyny, but **** me you are a class act hey

I don't think it needs this new direction though.

EDIT: aussie, don't avoid the filter, and please talk about something else.

 

[ripper868]

Just to be clear, instead of saying "what a surprise" you would instead say, "Rassclath!!!"

You iz uber cool mun.

 

[Richard]

I know, it was a semi-joke.

Ha, good stuff.

But Harmison isn't quality.

When conditions suite although it has been very scare since mid 2004 - he is. I strongly believe given the conditions that ENG are likely to face in SA, if Harmo wasn't retiring he would have a BIG impact, especially given Freddie is retiring.

 

[Uppercut]

Good to see Onions has 100% justified the decision to play him over Harmison.

 

[GIMH]

Indeed. if the rumours about Freddie are true though then we might well see Harmy at leeds. Would be a shame for Freddie to miss the game where the Ashes are won back, mind.

Not a Harmison surface.

 

[Uppercut]

Never has a bowler had so many apologists for the fact that he's only remotely effect on about one in ten pitches.

 

[Jamee999]

He'd be doing better than Broad.
