Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Best cricket movie ever.:laugh:

Whatever it takes!!!
The match at the beach when one of their guys loses his bat is just so awesome.. And the title song is still one of my favorites to play in the car, esp. when I have just started the drive.

I was just seeing what it is like being ***** for a day. It was enlightening and I developed some theories. It's actually a good way to bookmark where you are up to. ***** is a genius!
Is it something you'd recommend we all try at some point?

Sure. Life as ***** has it's benefits. For instance, yesterday I found myself a supporter of the best team in the world. When you are *****, it doesn't matter who that team is - you are always supporting the best team in the world.

Another theory I had paints ***** in a more sinister light. Our board has an absence of a dislike button. ***** has solved that by way of absence-of-like. Once again, he is a genius.

Surprised that he popped for that.. I always assume professional athletes use more discrete stuff.. This is basically what gymbros use when they are cutting. Should be excused on the grounds that he is still a fat **** and it evidently had no effect.

Imagine how fat he'd be without it

Rename 'Mankad', fumes Gavaskar | Sport24

I have always thought it was one of the strangest terms in sport

They could change it to the 'Kapil Deving' ...
I'm probably just being a bit naive, but I never actually realised that the term was/is, to quote the article, "loaded with negative connotations of bad sportsmanship". Always seen it as simply bearing Mankad's name and not spoiling it. I mean, I know it's a controversial mode of dismissal, but wasn't aware that it has wider impacts on Mankad's reputation.
