Great images in cricket.

And yet the 77 Ashes in England would be close to the top of worst Ashes series of all time, unless you were Geoff Boycott.

If only McCosker hadn't dropped him.....

 

[Smoooothy]

which ground was that again?

from memory, it hosted a match in the 99 World Cup

Mike Brearley is a real hero of mine, exceptional record as a captain, and was someone who get the best out of guys like Boycott and Botham. Edmonds thrived under him at Middlesex too, being a shrink, he seemed to handle he "difficult" cricketers very well.

Canterbury in Kent I am pretty sure.

That fact brought to you by my prowess at EA Cricket '07.

have played on a suburban ground like this in perth. if the ball hits the tree, it is immediately 4, even if you have cranked one on the full and it is obviously going for a zack

What a legend. Was hard to dislike, even being a Pommy cricketer and all.

Not for me. Grade A bell-end.

Incredibly over-rated cricketer too.

Cant stand the prick.


I love this thread though!

For all that's written about the tree at Canterbury, I'd always pictured it somewhat larger than that.
I hope when it dies they transplant a new one in, its one of cricket's great ideosynchocies that should be maintained.

I have a feeling that it did die, they put in a new one and I think Dave Gilbert arced up a bit about it. Can't find a link, but he said something along the lines that it had always been a pain in the arse and when it died and they could get rid of it they planted a new one.

One of the funniest & best moments in test cricket...

Could watch it all day

Yep the original was 120ft then shrunk to 90ft and eventually snapped in half which they replaced for a lime tree.

Lime tree, plenty of limes for the final session gin and tonics, I like it.

A test match lost...

It's typical of English cricket. A tree gets in the way for 200 years and, when it falls down, instead of cheering they plant a new one.

Thank you. Dve Gilbert might not have liked it, but I do. Its a part of that ground's history and character, and those are a large part of what makes cricket what it is.

Excellent century

I don't find that to be a "great image", much like almost all the other images of celebration. They don't mean anything when viewed without context.

The best example of 'great' images in this thread.
