Idle cricket musing

[Brendan]

He?s right, that?s normally rugby.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Well he is the top ranked meerkat.

[Brendan]

Simples.

[Ted Max]

Psst.

[Floating Onion]

That should cheer Brendan up a bit!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Tendulkar. This won't cheer Brendan up a bit!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Tidy six wicket win.

[Brendan]

What's been going on? I've been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to catch up with any cricket.

[Ted Max]

South Africa has cut a swathe through India, going eleven games unbeaten.

Sachin Tendulkar's miserable run of low scores has persuaded him to hang up his box.

Roloef van der Merwe's thesis on arts-led regeneration strategies for provincial cities and large towns was published to universal acclaim. Sanjay Manjrekar called it "visionary and inspirational".

South Africa's cricket board responded to this success by firing the coach, the coach driver, the captain and all the junior selectors. Cricket in the country is now to be run by Gerald Warner, a retired long-line fisherman from Durban.

England managed to beat Bangladesh

[Ted Max]

And remain the only team never to have lost to them in any form of the game...

(we're waiting till the first Test for that one)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

9 overs left, 56 runs required. Will we do it?

[Loz]

Eight down. Debut Tredwell coming in. Broad at 11 not fully fit (back strain).

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Morgan on his hundred. 10 runs to win, 9 balls.

V. exciting.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

End on a six. Pure class.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I love insomnia when there's a test match on.

Isn't Chittagong a lovely word?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Ho hum - this is pretty boring. Will probably be a whitewash tour.

I want drama and action all depending on the last ball. Is that unreasonable?

PS: Chittagong still a good word - try singing it to William Tell Overture.

[Brendan]

At least that fucking saffa is making some runs.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

'Bout bloody time he earned his keep.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Swan - 10 wickets - good chap.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Potential game on. England 107 for 3 chasing 419.

[kpc]

17 year old Irish lad takes 3 West Indies wickets. Reckon he'll remember this game.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Bet Ireland are glad they have Extras batting for them.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Controversial question: what do you think of players rushing back to be at wifey's side when they are giving birth?

I rather think it's somewhat unprofessional.
