1 - too complicated
2 - drink

 

[Burgey]

Skull a Moree Handbag every time a commentator says "You don't see many late cuts these days" as the 11th late cut of the day runs down to third man.

 

[Cabinet96]

And whenever they say "third man has gone out of the game".

 

[Daemon]

- Finish your drinks during the drinks break

 

[morgieb]

Come on, mods need to promote responsible drinking.

 

[GIMH]

One shot of sambuca for every replay of the Broad edge today

 

[Kylez]

- Every time GEM miss the first ball of the session.

 

[Howe_zat]

Kylez is here, gun

 

[GIMH]

Every time social says something stupid

 

[MW1304]

With these suggestions you may as well just be on a drip.

 

[Burgey]

He is a drip.

Take a drink when an Aussie tons up. I will sober for a long time.

Take a drink when an Aussie tons up. I will sober for a long time.

The phenomenon is so rare that surely a yard of beer would suffice.
