[magpie in the 80's]

I'll give a clue: I made 17 times as many runs as Mal did.

so i was only out by 1

ITS OFFICIAL MAL'S COMEBACK TOMORROW I HAVE DECLARED
MY AVAILABILITY TO A FELLOW SAFOOTY POSTERS CRICKET TEAM.

At 48 years old
107 kgs
?

you idiot you couldn't see the ball 15 years ago how are you going to see it now ? i remember you shots the classic on drive it usually ended up at fine leg your pull shot usually went over the bowlers head but i'll give you this you did at least get bat on ball or was it the bowler getting ball on bat ?

BAYMAN you were absolutely spot on, as usual a great form anaylist.
Your preview OF HOW I PLAY SHOTS was almost exact.

I came in at 6/213 with 9 overs to go.

ball 1 outside of stump I flashed hard but missed.
ball 2 I went for a cover drive and snicked it down to fine leg for I run.
ball 3 forward defence beaten outside off stump
ball 4 off drive, inside edge to backward square
ball 5 short played the pull shot and as Bayman said I would I snicked the ball
to the keeper and was caught behind.

Too old too fat too slow [not BAYMAN] to play cricket.

MAG80'S your call was only 1 run out, great post the opposition is 0/1

Ecky opened and made a blazing 17, his sqaure driven 4 and his hook for 4
will be etched in my memory for ever.

Now chaps I am an allrounder
all round batsmen
all round bowler
all round the stomach.

Ecky will win this game , but can win outright if he uses MAL's off spinners.

Stay tuned.

I faced 5 balls , twice beaten and 3 edges, I cant be too sore after that !
Next week when I bowl Eckys mob to victory will be the prob.

M80S to save confusion I did go for runs the last 2 mornings
but they were not 15 + 10 km runs but closer to 1.5 + 1.0 kms.

[bayman]

Thanks for the support lads.
I am about to meditate now and then go for a 10 km run just
to loosen up for the big game in 3 hours time.

you sure your not the 12th man MAL because yesterday your 15km run took 13 hours.

& that was in the car

Good work mal. At least you got out there and helped out the team. We play an extra 90 minutes in my local comp which rules me out with my dodgy knees. Good luck next week.

regards,

REB

ECKY has just e/mailed me to tell me he wants to bowl me an over before tea.

Whats wrong with you ECKY dont you wanna win the game outright?

One over before tea hey mal? Make it the first one of the day,get it outta the way!

[mighty_tiger_79]

if the batting team are close enough to winning it before tea, with MALS over they just may bring up the victory in that over
