Midgeyyyy!!!! What A Year..........

13 matches
500 runs with the bat @ 33.33
HS 123*
63 wickets @ 27.41
BB 5/69

And that including a series where he left his head in the rooms in the bootom of his kit bag.

agree, zatty . .though I'm not sure why he had a bootom in his bag . . is that even legal?

What a great year it was, really enjoyed watching Midge bowl in the Ashes....

jkl - why dont you visit Oz next summer to enjoy the next Ashes series? am certain you would have an interesting time

Make a documentary out of it.

Would it give me the same feeling as this?

Aye been a good year for Midge, apart from losing form in England.

And only the eight time it's happened. Though he's only the fifth bowler to do it. Who were the other four?

If you're talking about 50 wickets/ 500 runs I think the others are Pollock, Freddie, Botham, Kapil, Vettori and Mankad (if you included actual runs scored in a year rather than in matches started in a year).

Typing with the sausage again, h?

Deary me!

Choked when it really mattered, though......

just being a little inventive

I think it would be good if we offered to look after visiting Pomgolian FB'ers next season

I'd probably go to Australia in 2011.

Indeed Trev, and that's all that really matters.

Still, good to see him telling Cooley to fark off and just doing what comes natural.

tho we could not offer the sort of hospitality that Mudge does

Implying I'm into that sort of stuff.


Anyway, I bet you can't find three Dutch air hostesses (in Victoria).

I'll see mudge's 3 hosties and raise with a dozen terrific aged care nurses

and no implication was meant to you or your welsh colleagues...I am certain Oz Fbers with sheep farming connections (braddles/qm3) might be able to help you guys out...tho you do need to be aware that Mudge apparently also enjoys outback experiences

No implication intended. I expect much worse from most forumites

At the risk of speaking heresy, that's actually bullshit.

Sure, I rate the Ashes as the most important, but winning other series does matter.

From alot posted on here you'd not be mistaken to think that some would be happy to lose every Test against other countries if it meant winning the Ashes.
