Really! who has broken a window in test cricket before.?Richard said:Because windows have been broken before... something lodging in a roof is a bit special.
I'm sorry Richard but nobody has claimed it to be an achievement, James simply showed photos of a window broken by a Gilchrist six.Richard said:Neil Johnson's broken 1 in a ODI.
And why does the level of cricket mean that to break a window is such an achievement (hardly see that it's really an achievement, anyway)?
The balls been lodged in the pavilion before as well.Richard said:Because windows have been broken before... something lodging in a roof is a bit special.
probably just because its uncommon to hit that small a targetC_C said:lodged in the pavilion ? smashed a window ? whopee ding!
The ball has been smashed OUTSIDE THE STADIUM quiete a few times in the past....so when you have people clearing the entire stadium-roof window,flag and all, what is the hoo-haa about lodging it in the roof or smashing a window ?
The only hoo-haa is from people claiming there is no hoo-haa, pretty weird eh.C_C said:lodged in the pavilion ? smashed a window ? whopee ding!

Exactly, jesus. Adam Gilchrist smashed a window, James took some photos of it and wanted to post them here. He didn't post them here saying "THIS IS UNQUESTIONABLY THE GREATEST THING ANYONE HAS DONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD", it was just a bunch of cool photos.Scallywag said:The only hoo-haa is from people claiming there is no hoo-haa, pretty weird eh.
no. the hoo-haa is from you mostly.... trying to insinuate that this is somehow a helluva accomplishment with your 'The only hoo-haa is from people claiming there is no hoo-haa, pretty weird eh.

Whys that Richard, why isnt it as good.?' posts....
I think if you look at the context, he was reponding to Richard coming in here and acting like somebody said him smashing a window was in some way deserving of a nobel prize, in a sarcastic manner. You will see Richard do this a lot, eg in my completely innocuous thread about the fact that Dravid got number one in the player ratings, where he comes in ranting about how the ratings are useless despite the fact that nobody was actually claiming that they are the gospel sent from on high.C_C said:no. the hoo-haa is from you mostly.... trying to insinuate that this is somehow a helluva accomplishment with your '
