Greatbatch to coach caps

[Big Dave]

Good choice?

[Elysium]

We don't need a coach, apparently.

[Big Dave]

I remember he was pretty good in his prime.

[Elysium]

Well our current captain doesn't seem to be having trouble running the ship by himself. Be more interested in seeing how Taylor handles being vice captain.

[P38]

Good choice?

Yep Good Choice

Great Bloke.

Cricket! AAAAAARGH! If ever there was a game designed to be played at snobby girls schools or by doddery old men that is it. To think it makes it on to our TV screens is a crime worthy of Saddam Hussein.

What? You rather watch some poofy sport like golf then?

Nup, but I reckon it ranks about the same on the action/minute scale. Similar kind of soundtrack: "click"..... comentators spruik shite for a few minutes while players wander about...."click"..... comentators spruik shite for a few more minutes while players wander about.....until hole or over is completed where you have extended spruiking and/or ad breaks to allow you to catch your breath. Faaark me, it's more exciting watching the anally maintained grass grow.

[Big Dave]

Hey slowpoke - are you confusing us with someone who cares?

[Big Dave]

I don't think it matters much who is coaching either.

For the next series at least. Kiwis drew with Paks and Aussies have wiped the floor with them, but then Aussies always struggle against Bond, S and Vettori, D.

Taylor seems like a good kid too, but with consistency for the VC?

I'm with slowpoke!

[Big Dave]

Feel free to list your interests so I can tell you how much they don't interest me anytime. :-)

[Owl]

:rofl:

Sorry BD, but I couldn't help it!

In answer to your question = "Motorcycling":D

[Big Dave]

:-)

Dunno much about that motorcycling caper.

[Kendog]

Good choice?
If they win yes
If they lose no

That's the nature of sport these days.

[cmoore]

Who said cricket was boring?

It's todays equivalent of Gladiatorial combat...and the Test match it's ultimate in mind and body "survival of the fittest" mantra.

Something Greatbatch proved by surviving for 14 hours not out.And introducing big hitting to opening batting attacks.

But watch "The Master" humbled.

Haha, If you could please take a few moments to list a few other subjects not open for discussion I'll get my people to talk to your people so I can ignore it from an informed perspective rather than an ignorant one. (Sorry mate, after 17 years in Oz I realise cricket is virtually a religion, and being such I can't resist takin' the piss. What can I say, I'm just wired wrong)

WTF? I don't think gladiators were scared of a bit o' scotch mist......

Survival of the fittest? There are more muffin tops on the pitch than there is in the Wendy's van parked alongside!

Tongue in cheek fella's.....lighten up you sad old bastards

[Big Dave]

>>Tongue in cheek fella's<<

Yeah - what?? - are we typing too fast for you??
