Good idea for No.38. We should collectively try to extend the list to 100!

Nah. I'm good thanks.

A lot of the points just repeat that the cricketers wear protection.

...to drive home the point, of course. No pun intended.

Well, that's the last time I attempt to be laddish.

Max Power magazine used to ask its models all manner of saucy questions such as "pink or brown?" (do you prefer it in the number one slot or t'other?) and "face or boobs?" (where do you want it?)

That's the end of my unconvincingly bloke-ish posting.

I believe i'm looking at the same 29 as Dello.

Silly me for not knowing that!

So innocent down there in the South West.

If it's not anal with a blood relative, they don't want to know...

G?

I wish.

Nice!

Here're a few more:

We like to stick you in when it's wet.

We like to take quick singles.

We like them strips that offer some juice and good movement.

We like glancing towards the area between legs, fine and square.

We're always ready and on-guard in the dressing room.

We like to be the man of the match.

We like day-nighters.

We're fond of our performances at Eden.

We're excited when the G responds to our strokes.

Something about balls being Dukes'.
