Lucifers Hero

I saw just the last 45 minutes but it was great to see. Agree, saying 'it was only Afghanistan' does not do justice to either side. Maxwell took his chances, Afghanistan did not. As Demon fans we know how quickly a game can slip away when that happens.

Not sure their allegiance changed to the Aussies. More that they knew they were witnessing a once in a lifetime cricket event and loved it. It was the stuff they will grand kids about in years to come.

The less talked about part of the innings was that Cummins scored only 12 runs in a 202 partnership. Now scoring only 12 takes some doing!! The way Maxwell was able to keep the strike was quite special. Somehow the Afghanis set fields that left him time to stroll through for singles even tho towards the end he couldn't even walk. He was in The Zone and the AFghans seemed mesmerised.

His best shot was a reverse sweep, around the stumps rising into the air, over first slip, over third man and went deep into the crowd for six. It was at a critical time when he couldn't move, they hadn't scored much for a few overs and time appeared to be running out. If he hadn't hit so many great shots it could be thought a fluke. It was no fluke!! I don't know how to post videos but follow this link: https://www.icc-cricket.com/video/3772779

Oooops!! But no-one has solved it in the 3 hours since I posted the clue so it can't have been very helpful. Maybe folks need a clue for the Quiz Master himself !! Edit: since the 'early birds' had their chance to solve the quiz I have deleted the key parts of the clue! Over to you.

Without high-jacking your gig, some clues for the 'early birds' this morning: I found the most familiar names first then the not so familiar. {Additional clues deleted} From there it was a short step to work out how the rest fit a topical subject. If you have the answer PM Demonstone, do not post it here.

Reckon people will 'kick themselves' when they see how easy this quiz is!

Thank you! Send the delivery truck to a charity...as I'm a bit of a 'mimimalist' with furnishings. I'll settle for a

@Bring-Back-Powell I was incorrect, we cannot sign him as a DFA but all other clubs can do so and put him onto their senior list. Dee Spencer is correct he needs to go into the Rookie Draft so technically clubs below us can draft him.

I think the way it works is he is now a Delsited Free Agent' and doesn't need to nominate for the rookie draft. We sign him as a DFA Any club can sign him as a DFA; just as North swooped on Greenwood a few years ago when GCS delisted him to then rookie him. Caught GCS unawares. I very much doubt Melksham would want to join another club.

Just sent. It will give you a laugh!

Got it!! Will PM the answer.

Hey, DZ. I'm not sure there is anything to worry about. We don't know yet whether we have/haven't committed to taking him. Let's assume we have decided to not match a bid. If he doesn't get drafted we can have him train with us over summer and decide whether to take him as an A rookie. We did the same with Farmer who eventually we did not sign on. I'm with @deanox that if we don't take him it is because we have enough of his type of player and we need a bit more variety in our list.

Yes but which 'track'...

Love that you gave me a clue but Crikey! May I have the more obvious clue back... ....short of going thru my cd's/computer drive for her songs all I can think of is .The Little Sparrow'.

Yes, I looked for the feisty red haired girl, sheila, female (I'm so confused 😵‍💫) but there were too many!!! PM me if you like...

Give us a hint as to which 'time' that fleeting moment appears 😊

Correct.

Updates: Melksham becoming an A Rookie Turner changed to a 2 year contract on advice from @Dannyz Contract terms updated for Billings, McAdam and Fullarton thanks to info from @DeeTeez This means there are no more uncontracted players. Today is the closing date for F/S nominations and have yet to see anything on Brown so not sure we will be taking him on a F/S basis. That doesn't mean we wouldn't draft him, just that we are not committed to do so. Based on recent mix of 36 senior players and 6 A rookies we now have two senior list spots and two A rookie spots

F/S nominations close today and I'm not sure Brown has nominated mfc/mfc accepted...

Good news. Now we have 34 senior listed players and on this year's base of 36 that gives us two senior list spots.

Hopefully not...

I have this feeling that it was our banter this morning that resulted in the No BS thread being banished to Siberia. I was shocked to see our lighthearted posts deleted then astounded to see the whole thread removed from the main board. Like you I am taking a big risk with my longevity on this site but no one reads this thread so we should be safe...

Careful od, we will have more posts deleted... ...at least they can't banish this thread to Siberia, it is already there !😵‍💫

Must have missed it !!!
