Doug The Rug seems like a pretty 'basic' guy.

From the article:


Fast forward to the practice match at Potchefstroom, South Africa, earlier this year. Bollinger has sprayed a ball down leg side and a loud-mouthed local yells "wide!" from the hill. Our bowler isn't having any of that. Quick as a flash he turns and says: "There's no wides in a four-day game, you Nuffy!" he booms across the thin Transvaal air. Later somebody explains that there are, in fact, wides and it is, if one can be a little pedantic, a three-day game.

"Whatever," shrugs Bollinger.



One day he was playing golf with long-suffering NSW teammate Grant Lambert. Lambert had hooked his fourth drive in a row straight into the trees.

"You're having trouble with your slice today, mate," says Bollinger. "It's a hook, Doug," says an annoyed Lambert.

"Crap, mate," says Bollinger. "You're doing what I do, when I slice the ball it ends up in those exact same trees."

"Yes," says Lambert. "But you are a left-hander and I am a right- hander."

"Don't get all carried away, just because I am not up with your fancy golf antics mate," says our man.

Translation, please?

i thought he had his hair done with the strand by strand thing - ie: its a rug but its put onto his head strand by strand which costs a fortune but means its there basically permanently. as opposed to a rug which just sits on your head.

I thought he got the 'Yeah Yeah' strand by strand treatment too. Looks too realistic to be a rug.

I'm liking Bollinger more after reading that article, sounds like quite a character off the field and a simple, no nonsense sort of bloke

It is a rug, but one which is a little more elaborate than the regular raccoon.

As far as I know, the 'strand be strand' crap is misleading, because it gives many people the impression that the persons hair is either growing or being transplanted in some sort of permanent fassion. I could be slightly off on this, but I'm pretty sure It's essentially an elaborate wig with a fine, net-like base, through which the person's remaining hair may be pulled. The base is then stuck on.

There's really some good stuff on here about Advanced Hair Studios not being what they're cracked up to be.

Well, Dougy's hair does look pretty good really, if you didn't know he had a rug i doubt you could pick it (not that i'm an expect or anything1)

ya think?

i like the fact Doug the Rug wears his heart on his sleeve, reminds me a bit of Richo.

He came out and said last year that he gets hair glued to his scalp, and has to go back regularly for retreads.

Easier to stay bald if you ask me

Looked meaner bald, too.

Probably doesn't try and pick up bikie chicks though.

 

[Ill Chicken]

He is a champion.

 

[Invigoration]

Seems pretty awesome to me, I'm starting to become a big fan.

Hope he gets another gig in the next test match, he was the pick of our bowlers for mine for the most part (until Johnson slid in with his usual 'bowl trash and pull tailend wickets out of your arse' stuff).

 

[mad_eagle]

no wonder his running between the wickets is so basic

Agree, staying bald if nothing else is far more practicle

hmm, mildy. Tis just cricket is a gentleman's game so Doug the Rug might become doug "fined 100% of match fee for dissent" bollinger if he is not careful unlike richo in afl where passion is welcomed.
