Hopefully this should get us through to Sunday.
Famous quotes (roughly)

"The bowler is Holding, the batsman's Willey"

"The wind is getting up and the trees are heaving in the breeze"

"Basically, the 2 teams toss a coin and the winner decides if he wants his team to bat or field.
One team goes into bat and the other team fields, and tries to get them out by various means.
Once that's done the team that was batting goes out to field and the team that was fielding
goes into bat.
The team that was batting goes out first and is now fielding and tries to get the team that was fielding
and is now batting..........OUT
Except for one day games, this whole process happens twice and even after 5 days it can still be a draw.
Please don't ask me to quote the LBW laws"


More please,
I've just read Bryan Johnson's biography, great stuff

One of my dad's best friends invented the bat detector. FACT. I will have to run all this past him. I hope you understand Rodger. Making this an endorsed study is as important to you as it is to me I hope?!?!

Anybody remember "Grandstand"?
How about "And now, over to "Novel writing from Dorchester with Thomas Hardy."

By the way, I didn't mean to rain on your parade there, Lofty, but the Juantorena quotation was really rather good.
Nogood "speechifying, isit" Boyo

Thought you meant flying bats of the mammal kind. As they say on the Dragons Den 'I'm out'

[Allestree andy]

another famous one from the great murray walker


'It's lap 26 out of 58 which, unless I'm very much mistaken is half distance... and, yes, I am very much mistaken, twice 26 is not 58, indeed we are not quite at the halfway point, oh, well we are now...'

Ian Rush's;  "I couldn't settle to living in Italy...it was like being in a foreign country...."      takes some beating.

Many moons ago all the four of us male family members were watching the test match on BBC and John Arlott commentates ' And Snow comes up to bowl from the Radcliffe Road end he has a long leg and a short leg.' Mum was just entering the the room form the kitchen and says ' That must be difficult for him.' Bless her.

Is that a code for having a wee on the pitch

Two oldies but goldies:
1) US PGA Commentator - "One of the reasons Arnie (Arnold Palmer) is
playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his
balls and kisses them .....
Oh my god!! What have I just said??"
2) Mike Hallett discussing missed snooker shots on Sky Sports: "Stephen
Hendry jumps on Steve Davis's misses every chance he gets."
Real foot-in-mouth moments :)
