And no, before one of our forum Merkins or other trash say it, the above video is in slow motion, that's not the actual pace of cricket.

I've been informed by Lady H that she has arranged for Sky tv to be installed in Huxley Towers in time for the Ashes.

I think I will need to get more beer and snacks in

We deprecate your opinion ??? :what:

Has even the MCC resorted to management-speak gobbledygook?

Heh, more in the ever-so-polite diplomatic language vein.

Good old Geoffrey ... the polar opposite of MCC-like diplomacy.

From my favourite England captain, Douglas Jardine...

"We've got the bastards down there, and we'll keep them there."
Jardine to an exhausted Larwood after he asked to be rested for the final Test

"Well bowled, Harold!"
Jardine's loud comment after Larwood had felled Bill Woodfull with a ball in the chest

"All Australians are an uneducated and unruly mob."
Jardine to Stork Hendry, Australia's wicketkeeper

"The feeling is ******* mutual."
Douglas Jardine, who was nicknamed Sardine by the Australian crowds on the 1928-29 Ashes tour and barracked wherever he went, in response to a comment from Patsy Hendren that "the Australians don't really like you"
"I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled"
