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?

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.........

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
