What an incredible………….

“Ged Ladd & Co futile swipe at the ball which would have been hit into the neighbouring county were it not for the fact that the batsman missed the ball by a good six inches”……………

If we were to pay that much to you, Tim, we wouldn’t have enough money to give to the local clubs, and many of them would go to the wall.

Done. Cheap at twice the price.

Bert,

Please accept my sincere apologies. In light of this transgression, please reduce my consultancy fee to just £1.2m.

Ta.

If ithe ball cleared the boundary and also hit a batty bat on the way, that should count double as they are crafty little buggers – they look like they’re going to get in the way, and then – woosh – they’re off.
There were four of them around the wicket during Murali’s last over yesterday. Perhaps that’s why he delivered 3 wides.
Those bats and the three dogs on the outfield made up the indifferent animal quota and were the true highlights of the game….
And also what appeared to be Herchelle Gibbs’ brain juice leaking out from under his helmet in the 16th over.

And you’re on dodgy ground as well, SIxSixEight.

Tim, I should warn you that 6Six6TM CricketTM is a trademark of Six6SixCricketTM LtdTM, Stanford Drive, Antigua, and that any game that you may or may not have played once cannot be described as being “an awful lot like” 6Six6TM CricketTM without formal permission from ourselvesTM. In fact, by admitting that you played the game once, you now stand liable for a hindsight royalty charge. The fact that people have played a particular version of cricket for decades but without the marketing must not detract from the idea that we invented it, own it, and can charge what the fuck we like for it.

Bert, this sounds an awful lot like what we used to do at nets once the captain had had his bat and gone home and the bowlers were bored of thundering in at the U15 who’d chosen that week to practise his leave. Does anyone ever bowl with their “wrong” arm in your new game? If so, I would like to offer my services in a consultancy role. My left arm over is truly something to behold.

I would like to see the old schoolyard rule of ‘6 and out’ introduced into 20/20 cricket. To see these over pampered baseballers unable to clear the front leg and pump it out of the ground without being dismissed would be beautiful.
