Correct. He was a bowler by trade in those days though.

Re: It's just not cricket
AHB and I had the pleasure of spending a few hours just a few feet away from him when he was fielding at The Oval last summer. My conclusion was that he is a complete anchor, or something that rhymes with that.djewesbury wrote:He also doesn't make friends very easily. Or rather he loses them rather easily.

Brilliant. Got the sound from TMS synced up with the video stream on the laptop. The simulcast starts here.

I bet AHB has even explained Duckworth-Lewis to you. This is how it starts Derek. Before you know it you'll be googling Len Hutton.

Not a great start for Broad. Cheats seldom prosper, as my mother used to say.

Re: It's just not cricket
In the US, we describe baseball as 5 minutes of action dragged out over 3 hours. My understanding of cricket is that it is 5 minutes of action dragged out over 5 days.
Haven't you guys posted more action here than has occurred during the match?

Re: It's just not cricket
You don't understand, Glenn. A few minutes ago the chucker chucked his ball and hit the batter's leg. Three guys then debated whether or not to ask the referee to send someone off and then decided not to. It was riveting stuff.Glenn E. wrote:Haven't you guys posted more action here than has occurred during the match?
