I was only agreeing with you if I misunderstood what you were saying ....

In that the lines are fixed in his mind before the bowler delivers.

I thought you were saying he'd by confused by a switch when he looked up from the front foot

MY understanding was that we were discussing reversing on and off if the batsman changed stances.

Ange -
I would welcome her/him to.
Interesting ( and worrying) that he/she knows all about me yet I know nothing about her/him.
Something perhaps her/his employers at MCC might want to now more about.

So Rachel -
Do reveal just why I chose Merlin as my ID, and the "one or two additional things" you know about me ...
It would prove conclusively that you are indeed using priviledged information from within the MCC record office
on an internet forum.
Or will you perhaps PM it to Ange et al ... just as a laugh.
Tread very carefully.

The quota of smiley is being filled in by merlin admirably in tac's absence. Someone now needs to volunteer to do the smiley.

Yeah - I looked at it again and thought I'd OD'd with having two on a post concerning a pretty serious allegation ... so I removed one!

It was only a joke.

Aye I figured dorrie - sadly the allegations aren't.
And quite worrying.

Wouldn't it be easier to meet up for a drink?

The forum ID is registered with the MCC?

Up to Rachel.
She knows who I am - as I do her now!

Merlin,

I haven't used any 'privileged' information on an internet forum. Show me where I have said anything whatsoever about you? I said I *think* I know why you chose 'Merlin', but haven't even said why that might be. Hardly a heart-stopping revelation, is it?!

Also, I have never and would never reveal personal information about anyone to a third party without their permission, whether on a public forum or in private communications.

I have only ever sent one or two Private Messages on this forum before, and both were to Rob I - one in response to his welcome message when I joined and another to send him a non-cricket related news story I thought he might find interesting.

Guilty conscience much?

Merlin,

I do, though, get rather tired of your 'schtick' of "I'm an MCC member" routine. You and 22,000 others. Well done.

Fixed.

Mea culpa Rachel.
Mea maxima culpa.

I didn't know it was a crime to stand up and be counted (and have the p!ss taken with regularity on here) for being one of the 22,000
"old farts" who fall asleep over tea and cucumber sanwiches!

As for you getting tired of all the 'schtick' ....
Perhaps that's your pretext for you "having a headache" ?

Anyway ... you were saying?

What are you on about?

Sexual tension in the long room I feel!?

Between who? It's quite obvious both of them are self-hating asexuals.
