[Bedi]

You can spot the English at the pub a mile off.

They've got a look about them.

In the city now and you are spot on!

 

[Pistol Night]

We used to take eskies in, absolutely full of piss as we were at the end of the day. $17 for a beer??!!

Stubby shorts. No tops on. Esky full of cans and foam stubby holders. Oh for a DeLorean and plutonium.

 

[Pistol Night]

Pasty?

Half eaten?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I think some have discovered Hard Solo.

 

[grumbleguts]

Apparently, there was a bit of sledging of the English openers during the last test. Crawley went up to Duckett and said "Don't let him talk to you like that Ben, you should stand up for yourse... OH SHIT! You ARE standing up. Holy Crap!"

Or in the 70s when people brought in beers by the bathtub. 'A different time' as Sam Pang would say. 'A much better time...'

Mick Molloy tells the story of the centenary test and people bring beer in with a bathtub

100% it was a better time. Anyone that says different is in denial

Not for everyone.

 

[Pistol Night]

Not for everyone.

Yeah fair call mate. In some ways we’ve improved immensely

 

[icyflakes]

You cannot tell me that isn't Dizzy and he just got into Frenzal Rhomb

 

[Bedi]

Not for everyone.

esp those driving home, without seatbelts, after consuming a bath tub of beers

This should be the Australian national anthem. Just playing this on the big screen

Real cans back then and they would be flying around with reckless abandon. I recall the 1970-71 Ashes Test at Adelaide Oval where a wag stood up in front of the crowd in front of the scoreboard and was pelted with cans. He sat down, then he stood up again, this time with a Motorcycle helmet on It was funny watching the cans bouncing off the helmet. Some guys in the crowd had magnificent arms, even when drunk.

Glad they put Tony Greig in his place

I was in Tonga in 70/71 and had no idea what cricket looked like. Just followed the scores my grandfather sent us.

I'm looking forward to watching Todd Murphy I like that he has that Dan Vettori dweeb look.

 

[grumbleguts]

LOL was involved in an argument with a moron (not sure what county he's from).

He reckons we say our cricket scores backwards. I asked him "would you say Joffra Archer's figures were 30/4? No you wouldn't you'd say He didn't bowl because he's f**king injured again."

The whole reason we do wickets then score is because of the old SCG scoreboard

Very good viewing. Watching Key get grilled by Nass and Athers and offering up mealymouthed answers is satisfying.

nass and athers are terrific. shame neither 7 or kayo picked them up for the summer. key has always seemed like a deadset moron, crap when he was in comms.

I'd love it if Murphs also has the Dan Vettori usually surprising batting proficiency.

I like it even better that he's not left-handed and not a Kiwi.

I seen Dan, Murphy and Love in a post and felt the urge to agree

As the great T.Grieg said in the 12th man - “He looks a bit nerdy in those glasses, but as long as they’re not fogged up he should be able to swing the bat here”
