Is he related to Norah Jones?

Re: Worst cricketer to play for Worcs....?
Wowzer. Fair play to him, in this age of information overload, he still managed to blag his way not only into a squad but into a 1st XI.
As for Worcs, what absolute retards. Whoever got left out for him must be severely pissed off.

I wonder if he got his cousin to call up, pretending to be Arjuna Ranatunga? Tip them off about a fine young prospect, almost as young as young Afridi.
The Ranatunga technique is pretty easy, stuff a couple of donuts into your mouth and start talking, the impression is instantly uncanny.

Probably thought to himself: must remember to spit crumbs out, then walk away
Adrian Shankar

WTF Bas? Were you aware of this guy?
Apparently he's been lying and cheating his way through a cricket career for years.
A crazy tale!

I didn't know either, but why didn't I try it!
I could have played for Glamorgan or well if not, definitely Worcestershire.
They'll hire anyone

The episode also raises questions about Worcestershire. It seems incredible that no-one at the club thought to check Shankar's story. Five minutes spent on Cricket Archive would be enough to raise suspicions; ten minutes on the phone would confirm them.
Instead, however, Worcestershire contented themselves with a photocopy of a passport and took Shankar's word for his former achievements. They even threw Shankar straight into their first team - as an opening batsman - without even taking a look at him in a Second XI game (though he did play for their second team in 2003). He was out for a third ball duck against Middlesex and, batting in the middle-order in the Championship against Durham, was unbeaten on 10 when injury ended his innings.

F*ck me this guy is a LEGEND.
Just the kind of tricksy muthaf*cker a guy like me can love and respect.
L.E.G.E.N.D.
I'm surprised Worcestershire released him though.
FC average of 19 - pretty good by their standards.

Re: Worst cricketer to play for Worcs....?
Wow, that's pretty embarrasing stuff.
Why would you give a guy a FC game without even looking at him in the seconds for starters.
And Ali Dia, blast from the past. Not quite as bad as that, it seems Shankar did actually score 143 in a FC match. I think Dia was a pub footballer!
Edit: Ah, I missed yesterdays post too...

This is the best thread i've read for oooh, nearly two hours, on the topic.
Re: Worst cricketer to play for Worcs....?
He scored 143 against a "weak attack". Hats off to anyone to someone who can score 143.

Sorry for not reading through threads with similar titles. It should have stood out! I wouldn't have been so rookie otherwise!

Seriously though, WTF are Worcs doing giving this guy a game with no 2nd team cricket and a FC average of 19?
Has every cricketer in Worcestershire had their legs fall off or summat?

Oh f*ck off. Smerky has at least started a thread with a mildly interesting name. People see Worcestershire and just think 'yeah, what the f*ck - who cares?' You see a thread entitled Adrian Shankar and you think 'woah, what's this about then? sounds like some sort of pirate.'
Worcestershire indeed. WGAF about f*cking Worcestershire? This is the real sh*t right here. I'm blessing this thread as the REAL Adrian Shankar thread. That other thread was just doing a Shankar, it was an imposter. It can go anally rape itself if it wants. Dour sweaty bullsh*t.

This thread never happened, it's just an ensemble of turds debating the consistency of faeces. Leave them to dream their dreams of sh*t and pooh and sh*t.

F*ck your mealy-mouthed wishes for eyecatching headlines. I'm telling it exactly how it is, it's sh!thouse. I'm calling a sh!thouse a sh!thouse. Deal with it... it doesn't matter what makes you shuffle your knuckles... a man got the 'scoop' and it wasn't this man right here, it wasn't the mad Welshman. It was Gary. Now have some common f*cking decency and give a person said props when scooping us all.
Suck it.
Re: Worst cricketer to play for Worcs....?
We were here in the beginning. The dream still lives.
On another matter - can you offer someone a 2 year contract and then terminate it after 2 weeks? I suppose their defence is that he lied about his age, but isn't that ageist? If he was good enough 2 weeks ago does that mean they had to cough up a hefty pay-off?

Re: Worst cricketer to play for Worcs....?
But Gary has already won a fantasy football tournament, can I just win this one?

It's pretty irrelevant... when 'it' can be bothered, Fromage will merge the two qunts like a tribadism f*ckfest and then we'll both look like twats. You'll look like the biggest one, indubitably.
