I am currently engaged in a email test series with some collegues in England. If anyone can help me out with some good but clean one liners it would be appreciated. :)

Especially good if it has a bearing on current games.

I'm thinking ATM how Collingwood got 200 and Goddard has 8 wickets so far, and saying it means absolutely nothing (when they lose of course :thumbsu:).

Policeman: I have reason to blieve that you have been drinking tonight, please could you take a breathalzer test.

Cricketer: Sorry I have this problem that means that I can't

Two villages in Yorkshire are preparing for a Sunday match. In the dressing room Smith , the captain , says "Where Fred?"

"Fred's working down pit skip , he can't play." said Tom
"Bugger! We're one short , anyone else here to play?" said the skipper.
No-one spoke and then this horse popped it's head around the door and said ,"I can play!"

The skipper laughed and said,"Horses can't play cricket!"
"I can", responded the hoss ,"and I'll open t'batting too!"
There being no-one else , they put pads on the horses front legs and a bat in his teeth. The skipper tried to take strike becuase the opening bowler was seriously quick , but the horse wouldn't have it.

The bowler charged in and the horse sprang forward and smashed the 1st ball for 6 over long on.

"Great shot hoss , brilliant!" said the skip.

"I told thee I could bat!" shouted the hoss.

The next 4 balls all went for 6 , all around the ground and the crowd were going mad!! The bowler was really fed up and as he reached the crease to bowl his last ball , he rolled his fingers over it and sent down a devious slower ball. The hoss was going to drive yet again when he realised it was the slower ball. Changing strokes , he carefully pushed the ball into the offside. After all the massive hitting the fielders were all on the fence and there was no-one close to retrieve the ball.

"Yes!!" screamed the skip , charging off for the single. The hoss remained rooted to the crease , a fielder threw to the bowler's end and the skip was run out by a mile.

'Why didn't thee run?" said the skip to the hoss.

"If I could run , I'd be in the Epsom Derby!" said the hoss.

Nations



Australia

A small but highly established colony. Which quickly overtook the UK in all known facts of society, culture and sporting prowess... not to mention getting --.

Undisputably the strongest team since the existance of balls or any ball playing sport. Recorded by world famous historian Richie Benaud, whose rotting corpse now hangs in the Louve on loan from David Boon.

Australia's only low moment came in 1387 (at 5:53pm) when Trevor Chappell, under orders from his captain and brother Greg, bowled underarm on the last ball to prevent New Zealand from scoring the runs that could have drawn the match.(New Zealand needed a six).

They are the worst losers in history, possibly due to complete lack of experience at losing. Will drink beer after every defeat and every win for that matter.

Bangladesh
New whipping boys of test cricket, taking over the mantle from England. Once evey forty four tests under the laws of cricket the Bangladeshis are allowed to score a run but only against the Australians who will blame the conceding of this run on their players burning to death. These claims were rebuked by Geoffrey "Boycs" Boycott who said "It weren't that bloody 'ot. You can't burn in 145 degrees centigrade. Me gran could bat all week in this, scoring a double ton wit a golf club"

England
The originators of the whinging. A miserable, noisy (barmy Army)lot who live of the coast of main Europe from where the dirtiest most stupid people are that invented the game and never actually learnt to play. POMS Pretty Obvious they are Mentally Spasticated

India
The sports-forsaken land of billion schmucks can play only one game in the world. They are the driving force due to which the sports is still played and Australians get ad employment. The Indian batsmen are revered as gods by the ordinary Indian public, who worship the ground that Tendulkar et al. walks on.

Sri Lanka
The only team in Test cricket which enters each game with just one player. They invariably lose, although tend to outclass every member of the England squad whenever they play them.

A distraught woman rushed into a Police Station claiming she had been raped.

The Desk Sergeant calmed her down and asked her to provide details. She
told him that it was a man of average height dressed in white and that he
was wearing protective pads on his legs and forearms, additionally he
had on a helmet and gloves.

"That sounds as if the man was a cricketer" observed the policeman.

"Oh yes he was" replied the woman, "and what's more he was an Englishman".

"I suppose you guessed that because of his accent " said the Sergeant.

"No" the woman said, "it was because he didn't stay in very long."
