I cant stand listening to Michael Holding commentate. Admittedly, I havent heard him for awhile, but when he commentated the Aus - WI tests he was downright appalling. He'd constantly whinge about some percieved injustice done to one of the WI players, then crap on about it for whole games. The...
When I was about 18, my step brother(about 20 years older than me) bought me a drink holder for the back seat of a car. For the life of me I cant figure out any time for which this gift would be useful. Opening it in front of him and his idiot family was one of the more embarrassing moments of...
What do you have against play doh? Do you mean like it gets into the carpet and remains there for eternity? Its a reasonable trade off I feel, because my daughter loves to play with it and since both me and my missus are forced into anything she is playing with, its one of the few things (in...
I remember Brett Lee bowling to Makaya (sp) Ntini and he kept bowling short balls that Ntini was pretty much jumping to square leg to avoid. It seem to go on and on. The whole time I was thinking - just bowl a ******* yorker you numpty. Oooo way to go scaring the worst bat in the Saffer line up...
I have almost 500 games so as you can imagine my backlog is ridiculous. I was collecting for the PS3 last year and got almost 300 titles for it, but I've grown bored of collecting now. Still it means I have heaps to play. Have about 100 PS4 games too, slowly working my way through. I've been at...
Yes thanks for McPharlin, he was terrific! Croad, not so much. I remember he was very quick, he just didnt seem to be able to do anything else very well. Well, not for Freo anyway.
Lived in Germany for 8 years. Some people are dickheads, some people are decent and some people are awesome. In my experience, its the same anywhere you go.
I'm 20 odd hours into this and I like it. Everything you do is extremely slow, but I love the world so I can deal with the slowness of everything. Horse riding in woody areas is annoying and * trying to jump out of a little creek. Oh and I still cant lock pick anything. Meh. Theresa is hot...
Has Brussels been mentioned yet? I ******* hate this place. Everyone is a scammer or rip off merchant. Its dirty. Very little to do. The last time I was there the Eurostar was delayed due to heavy snow and I had to spend a night at a hotel near the train station. Not an experience I ever want...
Once upon a time I was in the Rails pub in Byron Bay and in walked Robert Plant (was on his No Quarter tour many mooons ago). I dumbly stood next to him at the bar and said hello. Then I got my beer and returned to my table, dicussed it excitedly with my friends, then forgot all about him. Thats...
I remember the mysterious name of Paul Whitelaw would appear in the Eagles squad list, each week in the newspaper. I always wondered who the hell he was, because I never saw him play a game and didnt even know what he looked like. I just looked him up, having been inspired by this thread. He...
While I guess most people in Melbourne have the same team from day 1, some of us who support the interstate teams have had to make a dramatic choice. Do you continue with your old team or do you support the new team? For example, where do GWS supporters come from? Were you just supporting lower...
Subiaco Oval
WACA
Gabba
Yankee Stadium
I lived in London for almost 4 years and never went to Lords or The Oval. Idiot. I walked past them enough times.
Edit to add - also lived 2 stops from Wembly Stadium! Never went there either. Although I did get stuck there when Milwall were playing Sc...
Sydney - Club I first supported as a kid. Forgot about them as soon as the Dockers formed. Still have a soft spot though.
St Kilda - Use to love everything Tony Lockett. Then he went to Sydney. See above.
Gold Coast - Would love to to see them do well. Underdog thing.
Thats my thinking too. I was trying to think of bowlers since WSC who I'd rate as bowlers I'd prefer in the side than Lee and I came up with -DK, Rodney Hogg, Geoff Lawson, Terry Alderman, Bruce Reid, Craig Mcdermott, Damien Fleming, Paul Reifel, Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie, Mitch Johnson and...
I just read the Thommo wiki page after I posted. If Richie Beanud, Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Rod Marsh, Geoff Boycott and Sunil Gavaskar call him the fastest they'd faced or seen, then thats more than good enough for me.
Haha yeah ok, was a bit a crap nomination. As I said, never saw him at Essendon, only the Bears. And I did acknowledge he had some pretty rubbish teammates so I guess the delivery into the forward line wasnt up to much. Still, I swear he was diving for free kicks. I hated him for it.
Who overrates him? Most people acknowledge in 74/75 he was one of/if not the fastest bowler on the planet. He monstered England and the WI after which he injured his shoulder and was never quite the same again. I've never heard anyone call him our greatest bowler ever or anything. Just the...
