The Boxing Day Test 2005

Bobby Simpson hasn't had a run for a while.

Is Don Bradman still available?

[bitingmidge]

Now there's a Heavenly idea!!

I think Hand-in-the-Toaster is the real deal!!!! Now that's 4 factions..

[bitingmidge]

If I may interrupt this train of thought for just a sec:

Mickey Arthur, (Changed his name from Mouse I understand) the Saffer coach has opened his trap again.

This time he's "accused" our Shane of "pressurising" Umpires. Now I don't know whether Shane sticks the Umpires in his Mums Vacola outfit late at night, or quite what.... but I'm failing to see how Shane pressuring the Umps caused Sideshow Bob to hit all those Sixes, or for that matter gave Matt the Batt the upper hand.

I must admit some of those "bowled" decisions looked a bit dicey.

Two days ago, while driving quietly into the office, I heard the same Mickey telling the world how his batsmen were going to bore Australia out of the game. They were just going to keep playing the ball till the bowlers got frustrated. Top plan that!!

Isn't that how our Glen gets most of his wickets? Ditto for Sideshow Bob when he's bowling spin... no one seems to be able to score much. Of course when he's bowling Botham style, it's a different story, because the batsmen don't stay at the crease long enough to get bored.

Cheers,

P
(It starts soon!)

Just to clarify:



Symonds

and



Sideshow Bob

I think they're related.

If I may interrupt this train of thought for just a sec:

No.

Wotabout Matthew Elliot. Now there's a man who couldn't live up to the hype. Give him a run, if Sideshow Bob can get runs, anybody can. Oh, cept Gilchrist who needs a week under a palm tree desparately.

[bitingmidge]

if Sideshow Bob can get runs, anybody can.

I don't reckon Watson could get runs in India after eating a fly-blown curry.

[Grunt]

I think we can all be thankfull that Gumby isn't a selector.

I think we would have missed Haydens 50 + 100 as well as Symonds 70 plus the wickets.

We should also be thankfull that the South Africans can't catch.

[Gumby]

We should also be thankfull that the South Africans can't catch.

Now you're talking. If they could, we'd be 2 zip down.
