He expects quicks around the world to make his twilight years tough.

Gayle also said in his column in the Hun that he has forgiven Watson but the latter says he was provoked by the former.

Is this Gayle's version of a send off?

41.1
Roach to Ponting, no run, jumps back and across and defends to mid on, he looks in real bother here

41.2
Roach to Ponting, FOUR, Spoke too soon as he gets inside of one and plays it to long leg - don't underestimate a wounded champion

41.3
Roach to Ponting, SIX, short and he takes him on hooking it into the crowd at long leg, right where Doug Walters hit Bob Willis in 1974 to bring up his 100 in that memorable Ashes Test match!!

41.4
Roach to Ponting, no run, defends off the back foot to mid on, looking a bit uncomfortable

41.5
Roach to Ponting, FOUR, goes back a gets it away off his hip to long leg, 464 so far in this over - great viewing here - the young bull versus the old bull

It's a good plan ...if you execute it correctly ...it's expensive if you don't

That over was AFTER Roach had hit Ponting

Ponting is one of the best players of short pitch bowling.

So obvioulsy a poor attempt at a wind-up . . . he could almost be Vikas or Red . . .

Can't be Red - if it was his article would have just contained a link to someone else's column

OK, Nigel then . . . same thing really . . .

I suspect that Nigel may be the sort of bloke who gets road kill transplants to his head and chest and is a secret admirer of Burt Reynolds

Apart from the roadkill on the chest, that's just how I picture red . . .

gazooks!!! so the fundamental difference between Taips and Red is that one wears two animal hides and the other just the one

by tac on Mon 21 Dec 2009, 17:38

maybe red wears a mercan?

Well there's no one with the pace of Roach in the Pakistan team. And the Melbourne pitch is usually slow and spongy.
