Hakon didn't bowl!

He's a big girl who wouldn't even catch the nice lobbed return catch that our 11 year old batsman hit right at him...

I didn't think they picked that up until after the '92 WC in AUS / NZL..........the first time I can recall them using a 'pinch hitter' to open with was Kalu in the '95 - '96 B&H series v AUS & WI...............

I remember Kalu was failing batting down the order on their AUS tour & they gave him a go as Opener in the ODIs (because of injury??? / last resort) - he came out blazing & they kept him opening..............

otherwise I'd say that NZL had a hand in it with promoting Greatbatch to Open in the '92 WC..........just that they didn't persist with it after him.........

Naaah...pinch hitting starte with India opening with Krish Srikkanth.....started very much earlier.....atleast since the 83 WC .

Yes , he was an opener , but a very different one to the conventional openers of the time.... I'm not sure if one needs to be a converted opener to qualify .

That's cos I didn't notice it until it sped towards my nose.

Actually, I did bowl one ball (Hingston tried to teach me), but I think it'd be classed as a slow-medium full toss.

Don't believe in the old private healthcare myself, big believer in The NHS.
And anyway, I've faced quicker Bouncers than yours and come out unhurt - I'm normally OK at avoiding injury, just not great at scoring.
But as I say, maybe I might find a newfound incentive to play the old hooks...

I live for the day when I'm rooting for Australia.

rooting for or rooting in?

Shame I won't be needing it.

Shame I won't be needing it.

Is that a challenge?

 

[Richard]

You hit me on the chest, arm or helmet and I'll give you a tenner.
If I smack you off the middle of the bat three times, you give me a tenner.
How'd's that sound to you?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Sounds good to me but the exact financial amount will be determined by my financial situation come January/whenever...

 

[Richard]

God, these pennyless students...
Not even having two tenners to rub together is something I have no experience of.
I'd offer to lend you £3000, but you'd probably lose it in bets against me...
