This was the funniest thing I have seen ever in a test match. He went down like he had been shot.:D :D :D
Absolute classic.
Everyone,including the Kiwi players,were cacking themselves.:p
The day was topped off in the last over when everyone hit the deck because of bee's.Well everyone except Shep. :D

What even was funnier was that a stretcher came out for him!

Three times he went down and three times i was wetting myself with laughter. What gets me is...He swept the spinner twice and got cramps...then...he does it again!!. Surely he must have said to himself "im not sweeping anymore"
The third one was gold!
The final time Richardson went down, Shep was walking down the wicket towards him giving him the 10 count.

As someone who has suffered from cramps from time to time, it seemed that the lactic acid build-up caused his leg to tighten up in the upper leg, and when it strikes there, it's bloody hard to treat, but to see him wail in agony like that whilst everyone else was laughing make me go the hearty cak.:D .
His squeal was classic!
Bee atacks, spectators killing Cobra's in the stands... bring on day 3!

If someone would like to replay that sometime we wouldn't get sick of laughing at it!
What the hell are the Kiwi's doing ?
They've just declared at 6/630 just before lunch on day 3.
This is going to be a thrilling game. :rolleyes:

What do you except from New Zealanders??
I suppose they wanted McMillan to get his century. They should have declared long ago. No hope for a result in this match.

Nearly as funny as the "glare" Billy Bowden gave Ricky Ponting after Punter nearly cleaned him up with one of his pull-shots today. Watching Billy today makes me wonder how popular he is going to be in the ODI day/nighters in Australia this summer :D
An absolute classic

Likewise.. had the hammy problems over the years, and knew that once it cramped up, any minimal movement could trigger a repeat. Absolute bastards, hammies.
Being one of the longest muscles in the body, it is extrememly painful and the cramp lasts longer, and of course renders the victim practically immobile.
The moment it happened, I thought the bowlers should try to entice the sweep and trigger a repeat... get him to either fall on his stumps, or retire hurt and come back later on and have to start afresh. Kumble sort of tried, but Harbhajan bowled at the off stump and I think all three (four?) cramps that night were while facing Kumble.

Twas just the 3 tumbles. I loved when the physio said "Can you bat on?" Richardson goes "Yeah I just won't play that shot anymore" cue much giggling from everyone who heard it.
Sweep shot's seem to account for 80% of all runs off Leggies so imagine shelving it! He was on 95 when he went down the 3rd time & was forced to push the ball & hobble to his century.
Quality viewing. :D
India 0/98 bloody Kiwi's slow as Molasses!!!
