The 2005/06 Windies Cricket Thread
So, there I was on the first day of the first test, at the Gabba (as is my want), when conversation turned to the rather large number of blonde girly-boys in the team.
No, not the Windies team, they've only got one, and he hasn't had a run-on yet.
In particular, one Shane Watson, picked we thought because he could well be the "new" Shane after the old one dies. Among our number, we could name 12 members of the Queensland Sheffield Shield (;) ) team, who should have been picked in front of him, and as if to prove a point gives up after one test, after falling over on his NON BOWLING arm.
Now I've got this pommy bloke coming to stay shortly, and he's expecting to see a vanquished team, one with no heart, no talent, no prospects, and all I can say is that if we keep filling it with blonde-boys, he may be right.
At least Andy's got a gurnsey for the next one!
Cheers,
P
