Flintoff is Hercules.. a God

Pigeon · 20-07-2009, 05:34 AM

I know this might be a bit jarring for some. But I dont really care.

12 overs on the trot, a man who's retiring from test cricket because his body is refusing to take the punches anymore. But somehow, surprising everyone, perhaps including himself, this guy has claimed a fifer on a flatbed when other bowlers are struggling to even contain the Aussie batsmen.

Moreover who writes his script? His last appearance at the Lords and he's done a fifer. A matchwinning (potentially) at that!

Let's celebrate this hero, whose deeds transcend the silly world of statsgurus.

Yeah, fair play to the big dumb drunk from Yorkshire

Mister Wright · 20-07-2009, 06:52 AM

Let's all hope after retirement he plays for Queensland as a full time squad member.

Don't think anybody in the English side would have ever liked to fit Andy McDonald's boots.

Knew I'd get a bite with that.

Same ****, different village ten kilometres down the road in that ridiculous postage stamp you call a country. I've pissed further than the distance between Lancs and Yorkshire. Either way its all big dumb Northerners with congenital speech defects, inbred ancestors and dubious personal hygiene.

An much-needed self-help approach to irrigation Down Under? If you manage to pass enough liquid you might be able to raise a couple of dozen cacti. Squeeze the piss-flavoured juice out of the cactus, and bingo - genuine local beer.
