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 ...

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?

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?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
