You should have mentioned "Scoring a maiden"

Cheers Doug, but if I'd mentioned that it would have made me think of "Sticky Wickets"

Doug Dastardly Posted May 18, 1999
Haha yeah. Then you'd be in all kinds of trouble... I guess I really should have given this a subject as there's noo link on the recent postings... grr . You didn't mention that the batsmen have to strap ironing boards to theit legs either.

Or that the only people that really enjoy themselves are the bowlers, as they always get to shine their balls in public

Doug Dastardly Posted May 20, 1999
Yes, but have you seen the stains that leaves in their trousers!

Jim the Wonder Llama (back from yonder) Posted May 20, 1999
Did I mention the reason they wear white? 
Maidens
Jim the Wonder Llama (back from yonder) Posted May 20, 1999
Obviously it's to show up how sunburnt they get in the hot summer sun

Yeah, and I always thought it was a gentleman's game. How many gentlemen do you see walking around with zinc face paint? Okay, maybe my submission does need a little bit of adjustment.

Hehe, well they only do it becuse they're trying to give it the same cool image as surfing! Long way to go methinks...

Well, in that case England would never win the Ashes

Well, I'm not a cricket fan at all, and I was distressed to see a bunch of blokes crowding around the tv in the window of an electrical retailers to watch it...
Maidens

Maybe they were all interested in purchasing that one TV all at the same time. Did you think of that? Or maybe they were admiring their reflections in the glass. Or maybe it was a ploy by the retailers to get more customers. I'm rambling, aren't I? Sorry.
