    wait! i also go it from an international bowler returning from injury via club cricket! i told him if he wanted me to edge it he needed to slow it down and swing it less"

    at least he just laughed.

    i was told after a game by a ex nz opening bowler that i was going to get his first bouncer in cambridge cricket. unfortunately he had knocked my off stump out of the ground on his second ball to me

    Dipak Patel had a mean streak?

    meh, I've been embarrassed by international spinners as well. I don't discriminate

    Of course, i once put one on the roof of his clubrooms with the ugliest slog over cow you have ever seen. dined out on it for ages.

    Seems as good a time as any to mention Jeetan Patel was a ringer for my indoor cricket team on a few occasions back in the winter of 03.

    Quite a good player from memory. I didn’t know it was him who played til about 10 years later though

    I don't want to sully the aus v India thread with this garbage, but if you're bored with setting fire to your pubes with an angle grinder or sticking your testicles in a vice to determine your pain threshold, have a skim of this rectal fluid:

    Stuff

    And then think of your favourite kiwi left arm bowler..

    I hate myself for giving this wankstain clicks but one day you might be close enough to kick him in the nuts!

    If you're going to post this shit copy and paste it so we don't give him clicks.

    it was a fair question, usually i didn't see it

    Absolutely. The response is " of course I didn't see it you moran, otherwise I would have hit it or got out the way".

    the guy who at the time was opening the bowling for BOP in the rep stuff said it to me. I told him to "just fuck up and bowl"

    the next one did not hit me on the back thigh.

    Missed off and missed leg?

    lets say it was 3 feet over the stumps. i think. i dunno, i kinda saw it hit the pitch, and then i heard it hit the keepers gloves.

    I drove him through mid-off for an easy single the next ball. Then next over creamed him through the covers for 4, one of the best shots i ever played at prem level. I don't know why that sequence has stayed with me. It was in '98 (i think) FFS. God i am getting old.

    I get so torn with Hosking. In one sense he is a colossal dickwad, yet his ability to trigger sensitive snowflakes is most impressive.

    So a friend of a triathlete killed someone or something to complete a 300km ride?

    @MN5 That so looks like a piss take.

    Headline aside, which appeals to a childish sense of humour (I laughed), they are in a town called Pratt. They have disability mentoring day, the main protagonist is called Luna, who wants to know about about caring for animals, and the crux of it all is a snake eating a mouse which impressed her.
    Even the "journalist's" email is "grose".

    @Snowy looks like a legit publication (according to wiki) in Pratt County, Kansas.

    I was being facetious but the whole sequence was amusing.

    @canefan pretty sure I've posted this in the awesome thread, but this is an ad in the Northern Advocate.
