Cricket is as exciting as watching grass grow in my opinion!

Even more boring than bloody golf to watch!

on tv it is terrible.

on the radio it is great. i use it as a background as i do odd jobs around the house

Every job you do turns out odd.

Far coff Matthew Wade. I don't care how much they think your keeping has improved. It started at a very low base and still sucks. I'll blow my trumpet and say that even I am/was far better than you, and I've played with and against the best. Nevil, like me, is (was, in my case) a wicket keeper. Wade is a dud keeper who can bat.

I know what bowlers want behind the stumps.

Stupid selectors!

Just spend an hour concentrating on Wade in the next Test. All show......and fumbles.

People forget that Rod Marsh was once sarcastically called iron gloves.

Yeas, he was. That was what he got after his first Test debacle of many fumbles/drops.

Wade is already a has been. Hopeless keeper. I'll see if I can find that photo which demonstrates my point.

The rest....including Smith as Captain, can fook off. I would keep the guy who refills the eskies. He's the only one performing.

Its the dreaded Tampered ball that has been doing the damage. The Pakis used it, the Poms used it, now it seems the Fat Dutch crossed with pigs South Africans used it.

A shiny sided cricket ball can be all the difference in extracting the maximum amount of swing in a fast bowler's arsenal. A torn up other side of the seam can be the other factor in a swinging ball. Are you willing to bet your batting career by allowing a bowler to bowl to you with a ball that swings more than it should with natural shining?

I guess you would not mind if steroids were used in the olympics?

If he hits a century next innings, are you going to complain?

and now he is going to appeal his fine.. Roll Eyes

can they do minty dna on the ball??.. along with his spit..

where are the umpires while all this goes on.??...he spent a long time licking his fingers and polishing the ball.. how come the umpire doesnt watch them???>.

what else is he looking at at those times?????????...

maybe a breathaliser on the field..

well its just a thought...catch em in the act and take the ball out of the game.along with them of course.

That was his catch first skip dropped out of his left extended hand. Wade is a poser of the first order and not a wicket-keeper's arsehole, I tells ya!
