Idle cricket musing

Pietersen is a right arm off spinner i.e. an orthodox ?finger spinner?. He uses his fingers to spin the ball rather than his wrist. An injury to the little finger on his right hand shouldn?t be a problem when batting and guarded in a glove but wrapping it around the ball over and over is probably not the best idea until it is healed.


That and the constant rush of blood and swelling (in the hand!) associated with bowling long spells is probably not good for an injury either.


He is in the squad for his batting anyway.


Either that or all this pretending to be a pom has turned him into a big girl?s blouse. ;-)

After being dismissed for 81 runs in their 1st innings against Sri Lanka the following statement has been issued from the England dressing room, ?It?s a shit game anyway!?


The tearful captain, Michael Vaughn said ?What do you expect from us, all dressed up in white and sent to stand on a field all day with nothing better to do than argue about who is going to get to rub the ball in their crotch??


Kevin Pietersen and Mat Prior were last seen heading for the next flight to South Africa dressed in khaki shorts and bush hats. When asked what they were doing they shouted something in Afrikaans that roughly translated means, ?You can take your county contracts and citizenship offers and stick them up your arse. We?re not playing anymore.?


Meanwhile Monty Panesar is refusing to speak to anyone and has taken to pensively sharpening a Ghurka knife on his shin pads and Steve Harmison and Paul Collinwood have started a petition to have all of England North of the river Tees re-zoned as Scottish.

Just to keep this thread alive, even though I seem to be the only one posting on it. I feel that I have some kind of duty to do so especially with all the jibber-jabbering on that other thread about football. Which as far as I can make out is some archaic form of soccer still played in remote and inaccessible corners of the British Isles.


Anyway the following article about Shane Warne is probably the biggest case of the pot calling the kettle black in sporting history.

Anyone else hoping India give the ?stralians another thumping?


Only me?


Oh well?.


Cricket? You know, standing around on a field all day in white clothes?


One of the few noteworthy relics of a long forgotten, defunct empire?


Anyone?


Anyone?


2 Big stadiums in central London taking up valuable ?luxury urban apartment? and Starbucks space?


Sitting in the sun all day drinking beer and applauding good sportsmanship no matter which side is winning?


Anyone?


For Christ sake people! Major supplier of Strictly Come Dancing contestants?


Endless days of summer rain?..

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
