"The Pillar".

 

[Gough]

More like pillock. Did enjoy seeing it described as the world's least essential TED talk, now that's some serious competition there.

God I love this thread

yep, i think i got her name correct on another post on this matter, when i mentioned the sexual nature of the cricket. might be that there are few cricketers, like condensing summer sport into a few carey,hird,brereton pantsmen on turf and greentops

My mum was a junior doctor at Sydney Hospital in the early 80s. Back then, there weren't permanent medical staff attached to the team/grounds - when a match was on. they'd just send a doctor down from the local hospital to watch over proceedings. Considering it's cricket, then failing a Phul Hughes type incident, it was basically a day to sit amongst the players watching a day's play. Pretty plumb gig.

Anyway, the doctor that usually went over wasn't in for some reason, so my mum got sent down. Being a lady doctor, she couldn't sit with the playing staff in the members, and was sent to sit with the WAGs in the ladies stand. That's neither here nor there. The point of the story was that the players were very unhappy a woman was sent over, because half the blokes on the team had VD.

i have heard the locum anecdote, cant remember the source, it may well have been years back on here from u J_Moore

u heard who did the Buddy Franklin half century on a Caribbean Tour? Not the regular pantsman. We are talking circa late 90s. but not the regular pantsman, but pantsman nonetheless. The last bloke you would have thought.

And this makes no value judgements here nor there. And it was a reason why Matty Elliott became persona non grata on the team, and was never gonna get selected again, apart from Darwin replacement. Matty Elliott broke the golden rule and told his wife what went on Tour, forgetting the corollary what goes on on tour stays on Tour, apart from the VDs that is.

Who had his nose put out of joint when Mrs Elliott told the other wives? Was it Tugga? ?

it was not the better looking teammembers who were pantsmen like Damien Martyn, nor the taller guy who prolly had more regular person status B Julian healthy wealthy and wise and getaway. Nor Warnie. Tugga, but not a HJ nor wristie

Ahh. good old Hame.

The biggest wannabe elitist flog you'll ever see IMO.

For a bloke whos done nothing & I mean nothing, doesn't he pump out the chest as host of gameday on the back of hes brothers reputation. gotta laugh really

Kouda doesnt realise that Cotch is whoring him out anthropomorphism for Hameday beneficence.

world's least essential TEDtalk is a pleonasmic tautology[sic]

still above Hammer's station. above his station is a paradox too, there is no vertical in his station, unless you are talking neptune

You don't get stories like this on your Twitterinstagoogleface, do you kids?

VD. A well used term through out the 70's and 80's that for some reason has disappeared from regular modern vocabulary.

Strange.

In all fairness, they really should have retired that nickname after that Carribean tour. 50 is a cracking effort, could have been more if not caught by Elliott.

Geez Hame is awkward, from his hand gestures to his stance to his reading off the auto-cue, pretending he gives a f**k or is knowledgable about a subject/athlete when it's obvious he doesn't/isn't.
