Idle cricket musing

[Brendan]

Why do people always say that? In my one score and ten years on this earth a sheep has not once asked me for a humbug.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Go west, young man.

Or to Wales at least - happens all the time there.

[????]

That's better...so far

[Brendan]

Am I just being a cricket geek or are these actually pretty good: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/gallery/2009/dec/03/michael-vaughan-cricket-art-painting

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I like 4. and 8. Must have been fun to do.

[Ted Max]

I think Brendan must have moved to England for the climate.

[Brendan]

It's because they're playing it in Durban.

I moved to England to get away from people from Durban.

[Brendan]

And people from Cape Town, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, Pretoria, Newcastle, Margate, East London, Bethlehem, Uppington, Harrismith,Ladysmith and Mooi River.

Fking twats.

[Ted Max]

You forgot Phalaborwa.

[Brendan]

Nobody comes from Phalaborwa. It?s too fucking hot.

Dale Steyn isn?t a person he?s a meerkat.

[Ted Max]

Explains the rat face.

[Brendan]

meerkat face.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

And does he have female genetalia?

[Brendan]

I have no idea about Ted's genitalia.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Ok Bren, time to make your ma's day. Give her a ring and find out the forecast please.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Cracking start. I'm off for a nap now, hope this isn't as good as it gets.

[Brendan]

It's way to bloody cold to be playing cricket.

[Brendan]

Ntini gets his 100th test cap today.

I wonder where he keeps them all.

[Fear 'n boozin]

ooh 56-2! Not a bad start.

[Y'man]

Good match yesterday, India vs. Sri Lanka, fine cricket, England could learn something from it, or maybe not!

[Brendan]

Sri Lanka are one of my favourite 1 day teams to watch at the moment. Very positive and dynamic, always makes for exciting cricket.

[Brendan]

This from TMS earlier. (not verbatim)

Aggers: I don?t understand why an experienced batsman like Katich keeps on gong out on 99.

Boycott: Of course you don?t understand. You never got anywhere near 99.

[Brendan]

Right so Seffika on course for 450 at least here. Morne and Mark should put on about 100 for this partnership unless the communist media in Britain start reporting ?wickets?, the filthy liars.

(that was typed in my thickest accent)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

What ho, ably lilac loon!

[Brendan]

I think you should rather just swear directly at me. We haven?t invented anagrams south of the equator yet.
