Aaah, the first of our 20/20 Cricket series sees an Aussie side full of noobs make a record score.

England, had a knock, but with two out in the first three overs, it was looking grim.

I think we need a cricket section.

:wink:

Hi Smorgs.

I saw University Challenge. The question was actually "What are cricket STUMPS usually made from?"

I blurted out the answer "willow" before my mind had properly registered the question. It's a habit of mine!

Steve-

I was being polite.
Thats ok Spends. Its just, well you know, your politeness can be pretty offensive sometimes. And I'm not a "New Man" either. I'm an old man and getting grumpier by the hour Smile

You needn't. I saw a report that he has a million in the bank and a good bit of it from catwalk modelling. You can't expect a fashion model to be much use at anything other than promising to deliver something they haven't got in them.

I think he's henpecked anyway so it's a joy to me to see him flop. All the WAG-pecked are wimps and certain newspapers and TV channels encourage it for reasons of commerce so they are hypocrites when they have outrage freakouts at the result.

Be warned Cobber.

Aww, thanks Tuf...

I thought I must have got it wrong, I was distracted at the time.

Only seven hundred and bloody forty one posts to go 'till I'm a veteran member.

Don't you think they ought to change the criteria?

Would you sign my petition?

Worked hard for them smorgs, and kept quite a few threads going! I admit though I have more time than a hard working civil servant Smile

I don't know - I just made an assumption...

AND he said I did on the threads once, like a big tell-tale!

I don't inhale anyway... and I'm going to get some marajuana patches from the Docs. Maybe I need some ganja-gum as well.

Thought you were adding to your carbon (Yeti) print anyway?

Nice to see you though...
