Re: The 'Bad Call' Thread

18 months too early perhaps

Why? The whole point is making a 'bad call'.

If they'd have said that 18 months later, it wouldn't be in a 'bad call' thread.

Need help with understanding anything else?

Chill out. Was just a joke......

It seems that the obvious "I thought Warnie was a fat useless Vomit bogan" after he got smoked by Ravi Shastri in his first Test has been omitted.

Soz mate, I was dealing with kids all evening yesterday - dealing with one on here wasn't in my plans. I've got my "Ok, sonny" head on now.

Bad call. 1999.

My England team was something like-

Atherton
Stewart(c)
Flintoff
Thorpe
A.Hollioake
Sales
B.Hollioake
Read+
Tudor
Silverwood
Tufnell

For some reason, I really rated the Hollioake brothers, and I thought that Fred had the ability to be a counter attacking number 3 for England.

How much counter-attacking would he need to do at 3?

You forgot Chris Lewis and Pringle.

Sales was a bit slimmer and making double centuries and triple centuries for fun at the age of 21. Must have been close to selection against NZ in 99.

Not at all. He was nowhere near the team. There was a piece by a journo who was outraged someone as fat as Freddie could get in the team and it wasn't that long ago since Mike Fatting and Ian beef-fat Botham had been in the side, but the England party line was 'he needs to lose some weight'.

Hmmm, hmmm I don't see much Andrew Flintoff repenting occuring here by our southern hemisphere friends....

That comment is reasonable but the last s shouldn't be there.

Ian Bell > David Sales.

Ian Bell > David Sales.

You see that cannot be classed as a bad call, because Sales won't ever get a chance to make you swallow that preposterous remark, due to the fact that NPB is too good a cum guzzling!

Well actually yes that would be right, but only in a cum guzzling situation!

[Fred Nerk]

Coming out of day 2 of the Melbourne Test v Pak in Dec 72 my old man and I agreed that that day we had been 'priveleged' to see an entire Test career start and end: that of one Jeff Thomson, 0-100 off 17 overs of total slop.

It's how he got to play a couple of List A games..... don't you know nuffink?

[PeterCS]

A bit worrying. I've heard about the need for a scientific diet .... but this is ridiculous.

[holcs]

Peter - now specialism here. Just can't explain Bell's run in the side otherwise.

JK - No cum guzzling required. Played for a dump-ass Minor county!!

[lardbucket]

Boeta, Ganga and of course Ramps...

It's almost tragic to see this.

[doremi]

Oh yes, and how could I forget Munaf Patel. I actually thought he'd be the pacer of his generation, or atleast a ATXI Indian.

He's a unthreatening 'trundler' now.

When I was 15, I predicted I could succesfully drink half a bottle of butterscotch shnapps in 5 minutes.....Bad call.

[Brass Monkey]

Butterscotch Schnapps? Could you be any more camp?

[Henry]

Hey, I was 15. It wasn't about WHAT I was drinking. It was about how hammered I could get.

True, I take exception to Boeta being bracketed with Ramps. Boeta was a far superior player to Ramps
