Bung - Serious, or a prick teaser? May be gone for wt20

Link to SMH article

Might have to thank whoever was responsible for breaking Lee's thumb in the IPL.

If he does have to withdraw from the wt20, it exposes the folly of the NSP's decision to select him, but does mean they escape without egg on their faces.

Of course, CA giving him a new contract for the next year looks a tad more foolish.

He teasin' your prick, big fella? That gets my goat!

Perhaps he's teasing your goat's prick,

my goat doesn't have a prick . . .I sold that one to skully . . .

So was Bung hit while batting? He couldn't have hit his thumb on the ground while "chainsawing" as he hasn't had cause to carry out the spastic celebration.

is the dreaded bung the purest exposition of dubberdom since Hilditch?

Boohoo at Neil Maxwell - "The poor bloke has had a run of bad luck trying to get back in the swing of things"

Deary me.

neil Maxwell...by Vix standards was iv'th rate...when are you spivs goping to wake up to what a nerd he is....86 makes bung look like a competent park bowler by comparison

I'm not sure you'll find too many Bung supporters in the Dubber ranks these days. h. And not much can be done about Maxwell - he's a player manager, so any opinion on him is a waste of breath.

so even slow learners/ 'opportunity class' participants aka spivs have come to that conclusion?

Oh, about 10 years ago when he was first given the moniker of Bung by a Dubber (me), I would suggest, h.

C'mon Horrie - none of the Dubbers here have ever been a fans of Bung in Tests (other than for a small period around the 2006 Ashes).

I'm with zat. I want whatever the selectors were smoking when they gave this clown a contract.

jgk and skully in sad rewriting of history shockers..tho JGK admits to 06

the inital Ksnr imperative to select the bung was enough for me from the very outset

so S has been bagging weetieboy from 2000

Feel free to trawl the ABC Forum archives, h. 10 years was an approximation (hence the "about").

I joined ABC in earlyish 2002 and trotted out the "Bung" nick not long after due to his two length - sh!t and sh!tter - period after his comeback from the elbow injury suffered in Perth v Windies.
