With so many clowns on the panel and an inability to pick Aussie or pommy umpires, who are the alternatives?

Isn't sooking about umpires a little, well, gay?

I don't know Zim. But bringing up festivities in a thread about umpires probably is.

One game must have a clown at both ends. Which one?

Yep, it's akin to sooking about rugby referees.

The 2nd test thread is going to be some fun reading.

Of course 'god help us' means England and Australia as the participants in this series but don't let me interupt your hot gay chat chaps....

Just as well. Crap umpires are probably our best chance of winning against the Aussies at HQ.

I remember my Dad recalling how in 1934 everyone was pissed off that England hadn't won against Australia there in 38 years.

Maybe Billy Doctrove can convince Dar that Lee's fingernails are too long, hence a clear case of ball tampering is on the cards.
Doctrove is quite capable of being incapable.

But even he is better than Bucknor.
