I'm sure you have had a wonderful holiday bb.

To bring yourself up to date on this thread just go back and read my posts - ignore the remainder.

BTW. A warning. There is now a total nut job sheila posting regularly here - the insanity may be contagious so be cautious.

We all all nut jobs here Uncle, and insanity has already infested everyone. So the contagion will be contained, as we have long since passed the point of herd immunity on that score ...

Sounds like you are keen to test the limits ...

Exactly, it's the 1%ers.  This is something that led to our success in 2021 - I'm listening to a podcast interview with Clayton Oliver back in Dec 2021 right now while working.  Clarry said "I didn't change much, my three big rocks after discussing with Goodwin was to train well, sleep well and eat well.  That's all I've focused on this year"

So can a cricketer push a boundary with a pull shot?

possibly, but he could also pull a boundary with a sweetly timed push 🤣

Not very lawyerly Red!      ( Or is such encouragement a means of creating business?)

My father was a glazier and as a young kid I suggested going around smashing shop windows and leaving his business card. Dad said that it might not be a very good idea.

My first idea at promoting business.

I am not sure.

Can a ball snicked, get stuck in gully?

If a ball is hit into cover, is it hidden.

Is silly mid on for simple people?

if you are run out, have you left the field?

If your leg is not before the wicket, is it behind it?

If you bowl 6 times and the umpire calls over, is the game finished?

Does a wicket keeper take the stumps and bails home?

If a bowler bowls a no ball, what is he using to bowl with?

Just some random thoughts on your example. I am sure there are plenty more to come.

When a bowler throws out a bouncer did he just take his job?

When the umpire calls "wide" who are they calling wide? That's mean.

 

Couldn't help it. 

We won't even go to the notion of ... 3rd Leg.........

Why is it called a maiden over instead of a virgin?

Ps will our kayo subscriptions go up with the Fox news settlement?

Try explaining the game of cricket and all its jargon to someone unfamiliar to the game. What a challenge.

Why have blokes fielding where they slip?

Is this a game for pirates, given I’ve seen a Captain Hook?

If you bowl an off break ball, do you then use another ball?

If a fielder is in the covers, is he hidden?

Is the game played on a throw and that’s why it’s called a pitch?

What sort of tea do they drink at tea break?

Do the batsmen wear very big pants to fit a box in them?

If you bowl a leg break, does the batsmen retire hurt?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
