richardjm65 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Further to my comment on the only slightly understood cricket "Offside Rule", it might be beneficial to introduce newcomers to a few of the technical, sporting terms applied to cricket. For instance, how many of us clearly understand the deeper meaning of "bowling a maiden over". And what's more, who could clearly explain the oft used phrase "batting for the other side". These terms, whilst being common parlance amongst the cricketing fraternity, could well lead to confusion. I think we need some guidance here. Over to you, Trevor. "He was caught after a having big slash" "He scored with a tickle to leg" "He is always chasing the short ones" "He is a big swinger and can vary his length" Its a long shot, but he just might make it Its a long, slow, lazy delivery, but its the best that I can manage SC TV Cricket - A ball's a ball for a' that "Unconventional wrist action" "Time to pull stumps".

BookMan Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Very remiss of me ... a new page and no images of any sort. Now, kevjohn's personal assistant has a Lassie of many talents. I wonder what images her lens will capture? Nice to see her on the other side of the camera! Elly Tran ... the Photographer Does the Pencil get a personal assistant of such calibre?

brit1984 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Management/Player status.Has anyone had a wiff of the Big Boss recently? OP, OP ... where are you? Just in case my belief in atheism proves to be wrong on judgement day, I would just like to say I am not (and have no intentions of becoming) "the Big Boss". That role is (maybe) taken by God / Allah / Flying-spaghetti-monster / whichever one (if any) is real, and I have no ambitions to dethrone the incumbent. So brit1984 ... we need a name for you that reflects your status in the Team. You bowled the first over, had the first spell with the new ball. OP is too impersonal. brit1984 is unique and personal to you ... but not to the team gathering around you. The Big Brit Head Honcho Something that you like that endears respect for bowling the first over ... Suggestions anyone? brit1984 ... I give the call to you. The Big Brit sounds commanding I have a few more suggestions: Anti-baseball Brit (as a cricket lover, I will never understand such barbaric pursuits) Opening Batsman Brit (in memory of my proud role in the school cricket team) Batty Brit (shortened version of the above, also reflecting some of my unique views on life) Bounce-before-boundary Brit (in recognition that I never could hit a six, although I never tried) The British Bradman (in memory of the batting legend who shared my fear of short pitched bowling) Bodyline Brit (in memory of fast leg theory bowling that had even Bradman in a pickle) Edited May 30, 2012 by brit1984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardjm65 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well, it's taken some time, but a ripple of applause goes round the spectators as they note that the team have reached their fifty without loss of wickets, though there were a few anxious moments out there in the early stages. It's definitely not a batsman's wicket and it's clear that the slow play and run rate may be in response to the player's thoughts wandering in directions other than what's happening at the crease. Anyway, back at the pavilion the refreshment tray has been prepared several times but on each occasion has been hijacked by thirsty members of the waiting batting side, and that could account for their unsteady walk and their kicking out and swearing at the small crowd of boys, (and even a few girls), who have come to the pavilion in the hope of collecting the autographs of their heroes More likely to get their ticket's punched, eh Ritchie????
