2010 YES!!! The "I'm so happy" thread.

Paul, my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek when I mentioned Bradman.
Lilley could probably still put the fear of god into some batsmen.
Do you get the impression I loved DKL?

I love how some folks get passionate about cricket.... I would rather watch paint dry, or , if pushed, do the ironing, maybe even get the vacuum cleaner going through the dog hair.....

[Maggi Young]

Always better when there are cycles to keep things interesting.  

As in the Tour de France!  

 Now that I can get interested in!  Three weeks in summer to make ME happy!

Maggi, if you think cricket is boring, you should watch curling!!!
Harrrrrrrrrrd harrrrrrrrrrrd harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddd!!!!

[Paul T]

Durnit Helen.... I was hoping you DID have a necromancer handy.  We could use him!!  I'm sure there are a few others other than Bradman we could bring back to the test team.

So Cliff, you're suggesting they lengthen cricket tests to how many days?  If matching Le Tour, I'm thinking that even some of the best cricket fans might struggle with 22 days of a test.  

Maggi,

I don't mind the short forms of the game, but can rarely watch the tests unless I am in the right mood.

Harrrrrrrrrrd harrrrrrrrrrrd harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddd!!!!

 HaHa! I like to watch  curling .... did plenty of that when Ian was playing. It's a great tactical game, played properly and the whole thing is done and dusted in two hours... perfect!

..... I think Maggi's Lily could too!

Shane Warne is too busy advertising how to keep his hair on to be concerned with cricket now.
There was an additional item last night about Ian Botham's comments on the recent English win, and how he and Ian Chappell have been feuding with each other since some silly incident in 1977!!! How stupid can men be? Grow up, for Pete's sake!

[Lesley Cox]

and Donald Bradman!!!!

Dem bones, dem bones, dem DRY bones!

I'm all for curling too, especially the tartan caps and the bottle of whisky that sits in each man's pocket.

The really interesting thing about the desperate attempts to improve the Australian Cricket team has been the number of past luminaries who have immediately declined the offer to return to the team - except Shane Warne!! who has not responded yet. His ego may similar in size to his texting finger.

Wasn't there a drag queen played for Australia? Lilian Thomson seems to ring a bell?

Wasn't that the "Drag Queen" that reduced the poms to quivering wrecks?"

Might as well throw Rodney in.
Sighhhhhhhhh, thems were the days.
