I don't want to sound negative, or imply that no-one else should enjoy watching some blokes standing around for 5 days .... but ..... I would rather carve a full size replica of the statue of David, out of laminated MDF and asbestos, using only my teath and a desert spoon.
Oh I stand corrected!!! :D :D :DQuote:

They are just skilled artisans (or are they craftsmen?) the result of whose labours is a joy to behold, what they are or do off the field is of no consequence to anyone except dedicated readers of Dolly magazine.

:D :D :D
for the same reasons people watch soap opera's Ie : who's gunna do what to who next and when.... lets not forget that the idolisation of these fat freaks means that they get sniffed out for farting in public by the media... how can you NOT know everything about them....Quote:

'Coz he is a dickhead in so many ways. As far as I can tell his only redeeming quality is that he is the best leg spin bowler the game has produced.Quote:

Just to take that argument a bit further, I don't give a toss what Shane Warne does in his private life.
I don't care if he is a dickhead and I don't care if he is fat, skinny, a smoker, an adulterer, or a saint. He plays cricket for Australia and is bloody good at it. That's all I care about. I'm not going to invite him around for dinner and I don't care what he thinks about detention of asylum seekers. I just want him to be the best spin bowler the world has ever seen.
Hear hear Silent(?). AND, he is the best LEGAL spin bowler the world has, or is ever likely to see.

Yes, that sounds about right.Quote:

Not that old chestnut, I'm getting the serious s with Australians having a go at other teams bowlers particularly Murali. No wonder people dislike cricket when all they hear about is how they ***** and moan all the time, it's handbags at 10 paces stuff, they need to grow up and get on with it.Quote:

BTW, I love cricket and have taken a lot of heat over Englands performances in the past, it's good to see them in some form having demolished the West Indies and New Zealand, let's hope they do the same to South Africa and then hopefully we'll have a competetive ashes series.
Sorry DanP that worm got up my nose.:D :D

I rest my case, here is the greatest relevance to woodwork thus far in the thread, (apart from the sacred willow of course).
Soap operas are performed by wooden performers for people with wooden brains.
I can NOT know everything about them, because I prefer intellectual stimulation to mindless drek... that of course is also the reason that Kerry O'Keefe has been able to rise to take the mantle of the late great Alan McGivray as the only commentator of the sport.
The others are there for the entertainment of primates.

:D :D :D
That's fine HH,
But you seem to have forgotten that the whole chucking thing started with him being called by in internationallly accredited umpire. Yes the Aussies have used it to try and upset him, but that was in response to Murali saying that several aussies "chuck". I am not picking on just Murali, there are a few bowlers who IMO throw the ball, aussies included, but none of them are as pronounced or get the result that Murali gets.
Dan
Where's the umpire now ? :D :DQuote:

This threads just about as bad a a cricket commentary on the radio.
Here's a link about chucking, there were three umpires that called Murali and Darryl Hair wrote a book about it and called Murali's action "diabolical", now he's a w*nker!

Note on note 1 - Midge refers to his abstinence from the media of the chattering classes. In other words, if you don't read tabloids or watch A Current Affair it is possible to 'not know everything about them'. However, in as much as any sport can be considered intellectually stimulating, on some levels cricket can be. Maybe it appeals to certain types more than others, like chess or lawn bowls.
Note on note 2 - True by definition, he's got you there Midge.
Note on note 3 - Read Midge's post again, Zee. He said Kerry O'Keefe is the only commentator of the game, the others are there for the entertainment of the primates.
Easy Gentlemanz, your all in breach of the Wood Workers creed.
And I quote......

So warneypoos can throw a ball betterer than some other twat? Who gives a toss? I think it a bit sad that a fair proportion of our society idolise a piece of scum whose only claims to fame are his ability to throw a ball (don't chimps do that fairly well too??) and his prowess as a one handed masturbator whilst holding a telephone and spewing filth into the ear of some dopey hairybacked pommy sheila?????????? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
One green'n on its way. :D

Stop this !!
Don't read it if you don't like it...simple!! It will die of it's own accord.
Or get hijacked again
Now Dan, as I understand it, the Death of Cricket has already been celebrated just a little prematurely, and its very Ashes are the cause of a recurrent contest betwixt the Mother Country and the Colony, so it is unlikely that this thread will EVER die.:DQuote:

I guess you're going to have to read the fourth (or was it the fifth?) book in his trilogy to gain a higher understanding.
