Morpeth in the Hunter is a charming little town.Like that you have similar place names in Newcastle NSW as you to do my neck of the woods i.e. Newcastle Upon Tyne.
I'm from Morpeth, Northumberland as opposed to the NSW variety.
Wallsend up our way is rough and Jesmond is posh so be interesting to see how they compare over there.
I met someone interrailing once from Newcastle Aus. Can't remember how we got onto similar named towns/suburbs.
As someone who lives close to that area, that’s putting it very lightly.Morpeth in the Hunter is a charming little town.
Wallsend is kinda suburban these days I guess but like the rest of the region has a lot of old miners cottages
Jesmond is cod ordinary. had to stay there a couple of nights when Burgeinho was playing in a cricket carnival up there a few years ago. Not much happens there, and what does happen isn't great. Much like the UK really.
Lot of place names here derive from the UK, mind you. There's a Birkenhead Point only a couple of kms from here, and not surprisingly a Tranmere Street in the adjoining suburb. Cozza would love it.
They're neighbouring suburbs in our Newcastle. Mostly they're just bland working/lower middle-class suburbia. I don't think anywhere in Newy is that rough these days, though granted I haven't spent that much time there.Wallsend up our way is rough and Jesmond is posh so be interesting to see how they compare over there.
+1 to this can't disagree with anything hereDefinitely one of the bowlers of all time
In all seriousness incredible perseverance, fitness and skills. Have to have massive respect for him. Don't begrudge him being held up alongside the ATG bowlers
Nah, if Atkinson took 3 ten fers in one match, then would be so. 3>>>1Anderson, 188 matches for 3 10-fers, best bowling (match) 11/71
Atkinson, 1 match for 1 10-fer, best bowling (match) 12/106
Gus > Jimmy
But is he greater than Adam though??^^ Graeme is the greater Smith. Hence proved.
He never took a five-fer in the 2010-11 tour, even though he averaged mid 20s that series. However, I remember him bowling brilliantly without much reward in the 2nd innings at Adelaide. He simply didn't allow easy runs or the Australian batting lineup to leave too many deliveries. It was Swann who cleaned up with 5 wickets to finally decide the game before the heavens opened later on the 5th day. I should point out that I was there for that match and always just shaking my head in disbelief at the end looking at the massive scoreboard that they had there. I recall that the ground was developed a couple of years after that and there was no longer the great grass bank that I had the privilege of standing on.Is he the 1st England ATG who's technically not an Ashes hero?
