Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've been up all night with insomnia and Swine Flu - can't believe I forgot the cricket was on. Seems we won by one run - God bless Messrs Duckworth and Lewis!

Ted Max Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Sounds like even the whisky macs weren't doing the job last night. Hope you're feeling better soon, PGC.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thank you. I still feel rotten at mo. Can't sleep at all because of the coughing when I lie down. I think it must be man flu at the very least, or a variant of Male Chauvinist Pig Flu. Is there anyone in ED who delivers W.Macs?

Brendan Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I've got a mac but it isn't whisky, more a sort of canvas. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2096-idle-cricket-musing/page/30/#findComment-263526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Of course, 20:20 doesn't count as real cricket. (Unless we win of course!)88 from 44 balls - well done Smith.

SimonM Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Some scathing words of wisdom from the great Sir Viv in today's Observer about modern cricketers and their "suits of armour"! :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2096-idle-cricket-musing/page/30/#findComment-263573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 It?s raining at the cricket. They?re having some proper freak weather over there at the moment. I spoke to my parents 2 days ago and it was warmer in London than Jo?burg. Here's an article on the 20-20 series to pass the time. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-headlines/england-to-uninvent-cricket-200911162229/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2096-idle-cricket-musing/page/30/#findComment-266272 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This ?journalist? from some or other ?news paper? has the audacity to ask, Are South Africa really as good as they think they are? Apparently ?writing? from a ?computer? somewhere in Cape Town. A city so beset with the English already that an extra cricket team will all but go unnoticed. In ?his? ?article? he tries to ?say? that perhaps they aren?t. Ludicrous! Of course they are. In support of this complete toss he compares the South African team to sunflowers which he then asserts are somehow similar to proteas. Cock! Complete cock! The most you can say is that both are angiosperms. Other than that the one is an annual crop originating in the Americas whereas the other is a type of bush only found in Southern Africa and Madagascar.He then wades deeper into the slurry of ?metaphor? and in doing so suggests that fog descends upon Table Mountain when any cricketing journalist worth their salt knows that it rises up from the ocean (or more specifically the Devil?s pipe). How someone without a basic knowledge of botany and the weather systems of South Atlantic coastlines could be allowed near a computerize writing device let alone allowed to voice such frankly dangerous opinions on the subject of cricket in a daily publication is unfathomable. It corrupts the integrity of the press, promotes dissidence and threatens the security of hard working people. Hell, hand basket, gone.
