NNN's Cricket Tales

[ningnangnong]

I hate when a team's batsmen make crappy bowlers look decent. It really is dissapointing when you lose games you should have won. What were your batsmen thinking? Seriously. I've had a team who pulled that one on me when I was captain too. Did they want to get to the pub early or something? [icon_wink

Tell us about this catch. Where was it on the field? What was the degree of difficulty? Right or left hand? etc.

You told me the wrong television station mate. :P Sure it was on Radio Télévision du Burkina in NSW, that is absolutely correct, but it was on Salzburg Radfunk in Queensland. Thanks to your understandable mistake, I unfortunately missed the action. [icon_frown

You were very busy with the captaincy and tactical side of the weekend cricket game ahead during the week, so I'll give you leway.

Hopefully the boys can make it up to you next week and have a good look at themselves now. icon_thumbs_u

[icon_lol1.

I've no doubt they'll all play well next week since our normal captain will be back.

Catch was a dolly. Bowler pitched it short, batter couldn't handle the heat, floated it over to me at backward square leg where the ball finished it's journey in my two hands.

 

[Scumbag]

Ahh I see. You're just too nice to be a captain. [icon_wink

You say it was an absolute dolly. I say it was more like an absolute rip snorter. Would have made Burkina's very famous classic catches segment.

Immaterial though. It's the post wicket celebration that matters. Am I right? [icon_wink Of course I am.

Pull out the Mexican Hat Dance again did you buddy? [icon_lol1.

Unfortunately, i've somewhat toned down on the audacious celebrations of yesteryear.

 

[ningnangnong]

I'll tell you what though, geez it felt good to be out in the middle and be able to play my natural game.

I made 64 or something against this team last season, so the fookers packed the onside with about 7 or 8 fielders as they know that's where my strength lies. [icon_lol1. Still managed to hit a monstrous six.

I hate coming into bat when we're in a precarious position and i have to play properly and be careful with my shot selection. :mrgreen:

That's just not cricket.

I guess we'll not be expecting any more Youtube videos then. I guess we'll have to sit back and view old videos. Cove vs. Squadron for example.

Is Brad still keeping?

It's always better when you can play your natural game. If permissible of course.

The Newy league seems very tactical and calculated. They must have had their manager compiling a comprehensive mechanics report on every one of your team mates last time. [icon_wink

When you say "monstrous", do you mean over-the-carpark-across-a-few-suburbs-into-the-surf big?

That's what I'm picturing.

 

[Kris]

This is probably a contender for next year's thread of the year!

 

[Scumbag]

For sure. :P

The things Nong does to keep this place rockin' are unbelievable.

Hilary ain't lookin' so bad for once in your avatar Nong.

 

[ningnangnong]

I have a picture of Hilary carved on the back of my cricket bat to inspire me whenever i go out to bat.

Not really.

 

[The Brizz]

I have a picture of Hilary to inspire me whenever i bat.

I fixed your sentence Ning!
