Chanderpaul might have given Larry Gomes a nudge.

I don't reckon. Gomes was solid as a rock. A perfect foil for the dash around him.

Just got the following in a fortune cookie: "The ship is safer in the harbour, but it is not meant for that".

I shit you not.

I ******* hate that Ad!

How does the restaurant owner who doesn't speak English know what the couple having lunch are discussing so that he can come up with that profound answer?



Edit: oops, did not watch it all the way through, wrong video. Thanks Relativity

Unreal isn't it? A lot relatively young too.

Let's look at the Test career of Mark Waugh.

128 Tests

Batting average of 41.81

20 Test centuries

Top score of 153 not out.

If ever a person with such a bloated reputation failed to deliver on potential and deserved the nickname "Hollywood" it's this man. Gayle is a veritable model of consistency by comparison.

They're still pretty solid stats, it's not like he's Shane Watson.

He was also a brilliant fielder and held the Test record for catches for a non-keeper until about 5 years ago. Pretty handy medium-pacer/off spiner as well. He was a very good all round cricketer.

And he wore a wide brim hat. I mean, carn.

Quality stuff. We could never finish a full game though without bypassing the bowlers ramp with some spitefully aimed flicks!!!

These guys have all been my dad's current age. Quite sobering.

He'd have a long string of outs, the media calling for his dropping & he seemed to always get a ton at that point then on to another string of outs.. he was stylish & pleasing to the eye was that part of it? we can't drop him he's so pretty to watch

I think it was a combination of being Steve's brother and a great all round cricketer. He had plenty to offer even when he was struggling with the bat.

And 20 hundreds at an average of 42 is still pretty decent. Shane Watson has stunk up the place for ages on the back of 3 hundreds.

Mark Waugh was possibly the most boring cricketer ever to play the game, and that's saying something.

I don't know too much about cricket but who was the guy that used to open in the tests Geoff ? that would deflect 14 million fricken balls (just hit the ****en thing and make a run) He was the most boring cricketer ever to play cricket.

The best Test Match was when your old man would glue the felt to a piece of ply. My old man didn't do this because he was shit, but my mates Dad did and it ruled.

No Australia.

I reckon there were that many cricketers named Geoff/Jeff that you could name an entire team of them.
