Allan Donald ends his international test career

[Salome]

he feels he can't let his injuries be the source of disappointment for his team, his country and himself

great shame, wonderful player

Sad, sad way to end...kinda like Graham McKenzie in the 70s

 

[Salome]

when I saw someone actually posted in this thread I just knew it was you, brettig

since nobody else is going to read this thread anyway I'm going to use it to abuse every Interferencer who doesn't appreciate cricket
that will keep me busy for awhile
I'll start compiling a list now

Alan Donald always looked grumpy. typical fast bowler.

Tis sad though, a great bowler.

Indeed I do...1998 at trent bridge I think

tough stuff...but the poms came out on top that time...

 

[Angela Harlem]

Where's this list then?

 

[Salome]

I'm still working on it
the first attacks will probably start tomorrow

then again - why wait for tomorrow

I'll do this alphabetically:

Achtung Bubba:
as far as I'm aware Actung Bubba never showed any interest in cricket
this is somewhat suprising because his posts in fym prove that he loves a good battle
then again - his posts in fym always show that he likes to focus all of his attention to a limited amount of people (does he know that he, Melon and Lemonite aren't the only ones who post there?) so perhaps it confuses him that in cricket you need to get the entire batting order out and not just 3 of them

BabyGrace:
well BabyG loves icehockey, so - judging by most of the hockey I saw these last Olympics - cricket just isn't boring enough for her

christiana:
posts about the Irish football team, but the entire Ashes series go by almost unnoticed
why?
WHY???

deathbear:
I don't know, maybe if they'd draw an angry face on the ball or something

*sigh*

I can tell it's going to take a LONNNNG time to get to me.

 

[Sicy]

I love cricket.

* lies through her teeth

Actually, I have never seen it being played, so I am automatically disqualified.

Elvis:
- never expressed any interest for cricket
- didn't create an all cricket forum

thereofre, should I ever own a cricket bat he will be the first to feel my wrath

You want a cricket bat Salomey? I own 3 and there are probably at least 4 more in this house.

Look out Foxxern!

 

[brettig]

real bats? autograph bats? frog bats?

 

[Salome]

thank you, manda
indeed

Foxxern:
what is your problem???
the greatest sport ever = cricket
your number of posts on this subject = 0

am I the only one who thinks something's wrong right there?

LMAO @ this thread.

Cricket is a game of skill, eloquence and persistence.
You had a great first over Salome, some big wickets sent flying, although sicy and Sula may have a nice little partnership brewing

well it would appear that Salome has all of those traits...especially if he can keep methodically going through all the names on this forum.

 

[Salome]

Gloria - a fellow dutch Interferencer
okay, I understand that being dutch you are a bit skeptical about any outdoors sport since weather over here sucks about 11 months a year
still, you have been to Australia last year so only because of that you should have had 3 thoughtful cricket posts by now

shame

He was a legend!! Legends should'nt have to finish like that!!, It's such a shame.

I remember the great West Indian Michael Holding went out in exactly the same way against Australia back around 1991.
