Before the ceremony I told her "sweetheart, there's something I need to explain that I've been hiding from you. I'm crazy about golf. I play golf every weekend and watch every game on tv" She said "that's ok sweetheart. There's something I need to explain that I've been hiding from you. I'm a hooker" I said "that's ok sweetheart. When you're teeing off keep your left arm straight and your eye on the ball" Doesnt make sense. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask a simple question and get meaningless answers. Is this some secret society gathering? They're talking about the current cricket test series between England and Australia.

Neeranam Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 19 hours ago, Goat said: After England choked up the first test in a comedy of errors, the way the second test is now looks like being a draw. Are they good enough to win a game or is, as Kevin Pieterson says, the English bowling line up too slow and timid? The only thing I see from stopping this being a 5-0 whitewash to the Aussies again is the miserable English weather. The only test match I've seen was when England were whitewashed, so maybe they are rubbish. I was in Calcutta 1992/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokie Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Of course hooker is an Americanism for a Prostitute, apparently named after one 'General Hooker' in the American Civil War, who could always be found enjoying himself in 'Houses of ill-repute' Cricket - As an Englishman I never got it? still don't, as said: Paint, Dry, Boring...

Lacessit Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Judging by the brain farts the Poms had on day 3, they may be hoping for more rain. The funniest one was Stuart Broad, yelling for a review of the umpire's decision ( a bad one ) when England had run out of reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted July 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2023 Cricket is well known for sledging. IMO this is the best one: Eddo Brandes v Glenn McGrath After Zimbabwean Brandes played and missed a Glenn McGrath delivery, the towering Aussie quick enquired: “Oi, Brandes, why are you so fat?” The immediacy of Brandes' reply had Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke in stitches in the slips: “Because every time I sleep with your wife, she gives me a biscuit” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
