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 ...

Can you actually “overindulge “?

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"

I reckon finding a decent barber would help his cause immensely.

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

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

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

I'll get a tractor.

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.........

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?

Just saw Corey McKernan at Pacific Fair shopping centre at Broadbeach. Obviously up to see Roos v Suns this afternoon.
