Once he reached 46, he held the record for highest score batting from 11 by a debutant.
Once he reached 50, he was the first debutant to reach a half century from 11.
Once he reached 96, he held the record for highest score ever from 11.
And now he and Hughes hold the record for highest ever 10th wicket partnership.

I wasn't excited before the series but I have this weird man love for Agar and I want to watch more.

Hey guys remember this test when we had it in the bag before getting all out for 47? Lol

 

[bomberclifford]

I needed something to happen to get my interest in Cricket back.
Ashes + Underdogs + Boof + Agar might just be it.

Finally finished Sons of Anarchy Season 2. Perhaps the worst finale in the history of TV.

So everything is going along alright, everyone's making their usual dumbass decisions that don't make sense. Why the hell is Adam Arkin's daughter in love with the Irish guy? They barely seemed to know each other apart from a few flings. So she somehow sneaks out? Then as soon as Gemma follows her I'm like "Well FBI bitch is gonna frame Gemma now" and sure enough, she did. Gemma is meant to be this badass who knows how cops work and all that, yet she puts her fingerprints all over the gun? Idiot.

Anyway, so they smash us the Mayans and corner Adam Arkin in a truckstop. We finally get that vengeance thing that's been the only motivation for this entire ****ing season. Anyway, Jacks gets a call from Tara which worries him, so him Opie and Scottish guy take off. That leaves Clay and the rest of them out there to kill Adam Arkin. Like, there is literally nothing stopping them, as they clear out the truckstop of all the kids and other patrons. Nothing. They're just standing outside, not doing anything, when they could just walk in and shoot the guy.

Then Jacks gets home, finds half sack stabbed to death, Tara tied up and his son kidnapped. He instantly rings Clay and says "My son is gone, I need you."

Clay then says WE GOTTA GO. Why? Why do all of you have to go? What could you possibly achieve by all leaving? Why not leave one guy back to kill Adam Arkin? Why didn't you kill Adam Arkin in all this time of waiting for no reason? Nope, let's get about 10 bikers, who have spent the entire season trying to get this revenge, to leave the guy (when they could just walk in, shoot him, walk out and ride off) and get them to ride back to help Jacks.

Oh, and by the way - apparently the wharf is EXACTLY THE EQUAL DISTANCE BETWEEN JACKS' HOUSE AND THE TRUCKSTOP OUTSIDE OF CHARMING. I mean, EXACT distance. Because Clay arrives at the exact same time as Jacks does. Why they all needed to be there, no one knows. But then they all decide to run after the Irishman who stole Jacks' baby, thereby slowing each other down (have a few people run, if you're all running it means there's less room to achieve top speed). They didn't need anywhere near that many people, but that was their brilliant plan. Of course, old mate jumps in a boat and off he goes and Jacks is left going NYOOOOOOOOOOO on the dock.

Nothing pisses me off more than when writers actually slap the audience in the face like they think they're stoopid. Seriously, it's like they went "let's write an unbelievable ending to this that no one would ever buy in a million years, just for fun, then we'll write the actual ending". Then they forgot to write the actual ending and that ended up as the finale.

Absolute horse shit.

Looks like a young Neil Craig. Back when he had some teeth left.

I loved F-Troop. One of the best theme tunes too.

haha If that pissed you off stop watching that show all together
each season is ok, it would keep me watching but the endings were so horrid and disappointing
I remember feeling so let down by it
watch a real show like GOTs or The Wire

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I do enjoy SoA... But GoT, Dexter, Breaking Bad and Suits are all quality.

Funny bit about F-Troop were the funny as p!ss joke american indians, they remind me of some other joke organisation. What were the called, the Ha Crowies?

Okay okay, exit stage left

No interest in GOT, but The Wire is probably the one show I'd recommend to everyone to watch. Absolutely brilliant once it gets up to Season 3 and 4.

I'm upto season 3 at the moment. Love it.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Man, I wish I could go and relieve Seasons 3 and 4 for the first time again. Not only are they just amazing in their own right, the way they seem to make the first two seasons seem so much more worthwhile... a big reason why the show has had such an impact on its fanbase.

 

[Portmanteau]

The Wire is great. I'm glad I watched it all before I got a smartphone.

That and Game of Thrones are my favourite shows evah

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Just bought Metallica - Quebec Magnetic & Living Color - Live in Paris on DVD

Here's a random thought. Have the Power ever had a game decided by an opposition kick after the siren? I can remember a few that we've decided (Poulton , Burgoyne , Westhoff ) but none come to mind when an opposition player has won or lost a match with a kick after the siren.

What happened at the end of the Kornes finger salute match against collingwobble in 02 or 03 was it? Rocca missed after the siren? Geez getting old, the ol memory is not as sharp as it once was. I am sure one of you younguns will remember it.

I got my girlfriend to watch it with me, but when we got to season two....

I remembered season 2 being boring but far out.

I love how rich it is there is no pointless scenes or dialog.
"All the pieces matter"

Then there is SOA where there is tonnes of superficial and redundant shit, its like the storyline of GTA Vice City

I have watched it like 5 times, its brilliant.
There is so much important stuff you just don't pick up the first time

Stop now! Seriously do not waste any more time. It is a steep decline from S2.
You will seriously regret watching the next series!
