The 12th Man's new albumn, the 12th Man's final dig is out on monday in all good record stores.
It's about who will take over from Richie Benaud when he retires from the captainacy of the commentary team, it's sounds bloody funny and I can't wait when I get myself a copy
read the article in the sunday herald sun,the part they had in there sounded pretty funny
and you know,it probably is eddie in the humphrey b bear suit:D :D

:D Good to see they are going to give Eddie a ribbing! I'll be putting this on my Xmas list.
I'm thinking of buying this for a Christmas present, can someone let me know when/if they buy it, what it's like?

I got it for my birthday.
I found that it had some brilliant bits, but there was too much filler which was just swearing for laughs. That worked early on when the idea of Richie swearing was a pisser, but these days it does nothing for me.
The best bits are where he does people who aren't actually regular 9 commentators.
I've listened to the first CD, and wasn't to impressed. It was funny in parts, but not to Billy's normal high standards. I think that maybe due to the fact India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka aren't touring this season. He can't take the p*ss out of their names.

Not up to his usual standard, but still worth a laugh.
The best bits are on the last scene on the first CD where Bill and Tony are comentating the thrilling conclusion to the opening one dayer - Crack Cam! and Bill wanting to BOOF Shane Warne!
Also the constant ribbing of Hansie Cronje as a guest commentator is a treat as well as the conversation on the phone between Richie and Martin Crowe on CD2.
And the Parore and Vettori bits as well. are probably the highlights.
