Proper Mannies Cricket

I love the English arrogance:
"England v South Africa: Ben Stokes says tourists are 'doing a lot of talking'"

England v South Africa: Hosts lose by innings on third day at Lord's

You've been in England too long Stokes
Away back home and learn to let your play do the talking.

Great century Stokesy

England lead by 166 with 5 wickets in hand, in control at Old Trafford

They're doing their talking with the bat today..

A good test match. The 3rd Test should be a cracker.

Hope so, I would just settle for a close test match tbh. Blowouts are ok but nothing beats a close test that goes the full 5 days, especially when the series is on the line.

[Donanddusted]

Strange test match but we'll done to England for making the best of the conditions.

And in the wifies game, English lassie out 'Mankad' style to end the game and greeting about it. Sorry but don't go wandering off down the wicket before the balls bowled!

Correct. Etiquette is that the offending batsman/woman (**** this ‘batter’ nonsense, that’s what covers a haddock in a chipper, aye, CHIPPER) who steals yards, is given a warning by the bowler, with the umpire’s attention drawn to it. On the occasion of any further offence, the bowler is then entitled to run out the offender and make his/her appeal to the umpire. It happens, learn from it. It’s hardly Gregg Chappell, as captain, telling his brother Trevor to bowl the final ball of the match underarm to prevent New Zealand scoring a match-drawing 6, or Warner taking an angle grinder to the ball.

Not long after arriving here and looking for somewhere for the Unders to reside.

Went to look at a place and who was the Estate Agent mannie?

Terry Alderman

Didn't look much at the hoose (couldn't afford it anyway I suspect) but he knew all about the erse that dislocated his shooder and woulnd't have wanted to be said erse if Terry ever caught up with him. I suspect, along with Thompson and Lillee he was among the last of the proper mannies cricketers here.
