I say!
Well, we are all looking forward to the Ashes cricket series next year. And wonderful news - my ticket for the Saturday's play at the Edgbaston Test in August has been secured! What a fortunate being I am. I had intended to take Hotters with me, but unfortunately the tickets are like gold dust - only available to bone fide pitch advisers. Also, it is to be wondered what he would actually learn at Edgbaston with his eyes closed all the time.
One has to start thinking that, given recent results, will Australia ever win another Test Match?
What can we learn from history? Well, there is the incident recorded below, which the great and wonderful Richie Benaud described as the most disgraceful moment in the history of the game. Here it is again, for your disapproval. I rather think that the Aussies have matured a bit since that day, fortunately.

Mingin'! Thank God I don't have to go and watch these absurdities! Anyway, there's something missing from this post! Hotboy
No offence, but which particularly offensive moment were you referring to? They all look equally immature. It would help if you could quote minutes and seconds.
Would you consider posting some streaker footage?
Mingin'! 'The worst thing ever done on a cricket field.' What tosh! When I went to the cricket, the West Indian bowler threw an apple, which nearly hit the wee Scottish batter on the head. Big jessies, so they are! Hotboy

Hotters - I think that your hand-cranked method of dialing up prevents you from watching the movie.
Rob - you are quite correct - watching the Aussie's fielding is rather offensive, even when there are no instances of ball tampering, but of course the worst moment was when the bowler bowled underarm. Not cricket, that wasn't.
I say Hotters - I remember that I was at the match you mention, against the Windies. However, you had plied me with so many G&Ts that I couldn't work the bins to see what it was that Walsh bowled during the final over. By that time, it must be remembered, the Windies had well won the game anyway, if I remember correctly.
Were the fast bowlers not something to watch, as they cruised the outfield during the break?
