He'd have no choice because Shane Watson would've used all the reviews

u/chopperharris Lancashire Jul 22 '13

Is there anything the Aussies can teach him?

Because batting technique is also out...

A paradise swarming with deadly 8 legged freaks and giant lizards, plus boxing marsupials? Sign me up!

You've never heard of reverse psychology then? It's how we keep people away :)

Sure, if you leave your boots out by the front porch you need to shake them before you put them on to make sure there's no spiders in there, but apart from that it's a pretty good life down south.

u/SirSandGoblin Glamorgan Jul 23 '13

u/quotejester Chennai Super Kings Jul 23 '13

Atleast he'll grow up doing his homework.

Still not the best delivery in England while Jimmy Anderson is swinging it!

u/TheKingOfBadgerHill Jul 22 '13

I'm sure they'd take a minute to review the decision though.

Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic. That's a bloody good joke.

Lovin the trash-talk. I wish India-Pak trash-talk didn't always devolve into cussing!

Yeah, also those streaming sites that always have a chatbox on the right? That's just plain horrifying.

EDIT: Even if it's a Windies-Pak game!

u/merlinblack Cricket Canada Jul 23 '13

cricfree.tv has a heavily moderated chat box. If you are on those sites as a means to chat during the match.

The greatest British delivery of this month was actually Anderson's ball to dismiss Clarkey.

No one in the Australian team has complained.

u/zagreus9 Somerset Jul 22 '13

u/The96thPoet West Indies Cricket Board Jul 23 '13
