:D Its complicated, But probably due to an accident on the M60 causing a traffic snarl-up throughout the greater Manchester area.;)

The one aspect of cricket we easily out perform the Aussies at, is the mid-order collapse! Watch this space:rolleyes:

This is the “blokes” escape thread isn’t it? Or was that an insinuation that us dude’s here on the other side of the pond need not apply? Perhaps you would feel more at home with the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin. Either way, I believe we can share in some common ground here; the sound of power amplified by the ale in your veins and the prop wash in your face.

In regards to Stiller, I refuse to comment on the power of the man’s circulatory system, we’ll leave that to the ET’s, Oprah’s and other myriad of trashy entertainment talk shows.

And what’s this talk about crickets, wouldn’t that be more appropriate in a entomology thread?

Not only missed that, but the tail wagged pretty hard.

In an all-or-nothing match, England seem to hold most of the cards!

Nah, it's just ritual transatlantic bagging.

We won't tell you what new English members have to put up with, but if you've ever been to a English Public School, you'd have some idea.

In jocky's case, it's more likely to be the sound of a 50CC Vespa.

Ever seen a man on a motorbike wearing a kilt?

'Nuff said....

Cricket is a game for gentleman.

And Australians.

Not sure how fast that Vespa will do, but in order to avoid a spectacle on your M60, let’s hope Jocky is wearing some breeches under that Kilt. Come to think of it, perhaps that’s what caused your traffic snarl up.

Now imagine the following in the voice of Slim Pickens – You know the guy; Dr. Strangelove, Blazing Saddles, etc :

I took a look at this gentlemen’s game and I gotta say, you fellas sure go to uh lotta trouble knocking off a few crickets on the lawn. Those whacker sticks must create a bloody mess and how do you keep em corralled on that Pitch area? Why, we jus round them critters up an feed em to our pet horned toads and iguanas. Some folks ul drop one or two into their Wild Turkey, kinda like the worm in the Tequila yuh know.

Maybe Jerry Jeff Walker and Gary Nunn can bring us a little closer together:

Its a polite Cricketing term

I should have put:- Lets save it for when we 've stuffed the Aussies.

To explain in terms you are famililar with, The Austrailians have been knocked down twice, given a standing count, but are still hanging in there. England have to find the killer punch to finish them off.

Assuming that is the case, then happy birthday LostPrincess !!!

Ah, the front door, never use it myself - good spot!

And happy birthday Princess!

Perfect timing to have a birthday, all of Britain, the British Commonwealth and any other country which knows where AUstralia is partying along with you.

We may not see pren for a week or two after this one.

Ah that was sooo good.

I can't remember enjoying anyones birthday as much as Princess's.

WE're still laughing at Ricky-the-run-out-Ponting's dissmissal.:lol:

By the way, now she's turned 18, Parker will have to pay her for all she does round here.
