Note to self: Send Marc copy of 'Snatch'!

Anyone see Billy Bowden practising his leave outside off yesterday while Sourav Ganguly was on the floor!

Already got it, but I do apologise for not noticing the word as one used in the film.

If you're being serious, maybe watch it again? Either that or the word in question is spelt differently, I wouldn't know! :rolleyes:

It appears an exclusively Southern phrase.

Closest Northern translation I can come up with is "Townie".

Hi everyone im knew to all this, just registered today so go easy on me.

One incident that i found rather funny was way back in 1990 if i remember correctly, in an England v India series. Jack Russell was wicketkeeping and the ball hit him in the box area and he went down onto the floor. A physio was called onto the field which turned out to be a woman, she was quickly sent off the field to be replaced by a more effective male physio!

I may do one day, but don't know what effect spelling would have since it was spoken in the film!

What I meant Marc, was that I would assume it is spelt 'pikey'.

You may have read the word as sounding like 'pixie'. :P

2 moments come to my mind straight away...and they're both south africa in australia

Neil McKenzie losing his pants in while diving to stop a 4 in the first game of the Super Challange 2000 series at Colonial Stadium. I found that more amusing that Rudolph's efforts...probably because Macca's pants came down do his knees, stayed there longer & he had a funniest look on his face when he got up.

Secondly during a game in the VB tri-series in 2002, possibly in adelaide, Mark Boucher smacked the ball for 4 but unfortunately also smacked a seagull on the way through killing it. Now i really do love animals but i found this quite funny...especially seeing Brett Lee lovingly pick it up and place it over the boundry rope

Two pidgeons were killed in one WC99 innings (India v Australia), one shot down by Reiffel in a throw from third-man, and one walloped by a thick-edge from Jadeja's bat.
Three years later, against Sri Lanka, Tendulkar (batting at four this time) cut one fiercely into the ground and after two bounces it hit a pidgeon. Chandana carried it off and it flew away minutes later.
