Does that mean Punter won't have to worry about the likes of Gary Pratt anymore?

Although of course Punter took exactly the wrong time to have a sook about it, considering Simon Jones hasn't played a test since...

I first remember the tactic being used as far back as 1987 by the Pakistanis.

Asif Mujtaba was on the field more often than not during their series in England

They've been going to the toilet long before that JKL. I have it on express authority that Fazal Mamhood was at it back in 1954 at Lords. In the members toilets no less. It was a double flusher.

Filthy b@stard.

Glad to see this being stamped out of the game.

This is rubbish. It effectively gives the batsman even more of an advantage over the bowlers.

Why shouldn't a bowler who's slogged his guts out in hot conditions be allowed to have a quick shower and change his clothes?

Besides, it give rookie sub fielders a chance to get on the field during a Test match. Must be a great experience for them.


Meddling twats.

It sounds quite inviting.

Not to say comfortably enveloping.



PS: I am on 2345 and I am not moving. I have turned into lardy's more supertitious brother.
