Moeen Ali

[codswallop]

Just read on ceefax about his autobiography when Moeen was playing against the Aussies.When one of them referred to him as"Obama" He could have meant that he looked like an American president,or he took it as an insult because Obama is black,if so he is no better than the Aussie.Or have I missed the point completely?

LOL ^^^

Banter. Whether he looked like Bin Laden or not is hardly the point. Should've laughed it off and found a witty reply.

[DTCwordfan]

It's not all one way.

Rodney Marsh: “How’s your wife and my kids?”

Ian Botham: “The wife’s fine, but the kids are retarded.”

DTC...see jno at 11.37.

[DTCwordfan]

Sorry

How about this

Hughes: “You can’t *** bat.”

(Smith hits Hughes for four)

Smith: “Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can’t *** bat and you can’t *** bowl.”

[Sqad]

LOL ^^^

Ian Botham to Rodney Hogg

(Hogg has just fallen over while bowling and landed at Botham’s feet)

Botham: “I know you think I’m great Hoggy, but no need to get down on your knees.”

I am not a huge fan, so I can't recall the names, but a bowler, facing a batsman said in advance of his bowl - "Here comes the ball, it's a small red thing in case you need reminding …"


The batsman proceeded to hit the ball for six, and replied "Since you are so keen on telling me what it looks like, you'd better be the person to go and find it then!"

I like these!
More please.

[andy-hughes]

Tilly - just one more from me, and again apologies for the lack of identities -

Bowler to batsman - "Why are you so fat?"

Batsman - "Because every time I sleep with your wife, she gives me a biscuit!"

[DTCwordfan]

Shane Warne - I've been waiting two years to have another chance at you.

Daryll Cullinan - It looks like you sepnt it eating.....

[DTCwordfan]

Dennis Lillee to Mike Gatting, "Hell Gatt, move out the way, I can't see the stumps."

Fred Trueman was hacked off at his teammate Raman Subba Row having let one go through his legs at slip, Raman commenting, "Sorry Fred, I should have closed my legs."

Fred replied, "As your mother should have."

I played in a game at school against the MCC with Fred on their team. I was #2 and my captain was the other opener. The skip went down the pitch to garden it after the fourth ball.

Fred stood there, hands on hips and glared back. "Tha's diggin tha own effffing grave, son."

[andy-hughes]

Piddee you werent advising the australian
who might have said osama
and then 'explained' that he had said 'part-timer'

oh. - please speak clearly

when I was doing evening classes, I am deaf and so the dunces would have to shout their possy little snide asides about me so I could hear them [ no point in whispering asides that are ignored ]. As the teacher said - it made for an interesting class ......

announcer
The bowler is Holden - the batsman's Willey

[pixie374]

I'm sure my step dad told me about a commentator saying "the batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willy"
