    Roy Keane leaves Manure

    I think he was a good warrior in his time unlike the spice girl who quit manutd for real. The only united players I ever really rate are keane, cantona and that russian winger..have forgotten his name.

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    I think Closy was given to a bit of conjecture. Viv against leg spin makes one recall a spinner by the name of Nazir who baffeld Viv on at least one occasion. Simon Wilde wrote in jest that Viv towards the end of his career wanted no part of the faster Wasim Akram delivery. I personally think...

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    Certainly would sir.. I sort of got carried away. To stay the proper course here is one for the rest of the party here. I would like to know if Brian Close was right in implying that Viv had a weakness in facing left arm fast bowlers over the wicket early on in his innings. Brian seemed to...

    Does anyone here have Black Sabbath's Sabotage on cd? If yes, can you tell me if they have left the laughter at the end of " am I going insane ? " unedited. It should merge with the following track '' The Writ ''. What do you guys think of Uriah Heep. Priestfan here rates them very high for...

    Is there a chance for Zahid to make a come back? I have been somewhat out of touch since I lost interest. Overshadowed by the Ws a lot of bowlers faded before they could come of age. Beleg it is good to see how passionate you are about the game but the adage here is '' to each his own''. For me...

    Imagination aches after senility as stated by the better man. The overs, the spells, the cup of tea and then the hour of bad light heralding the fatal delivery.

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    I have not listened to the song '' Iron butterfly ''. I meant the band from the 60s responsible for songs like Inna gada da vida and The Mirage. The name of the song was supposed to be 'in the garden of eden' but the guy who wrote it was so drunk that he made it come out like '' Inna Gada Da...

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    Pakistan then has some very bright prospects. The bowler I forgot to mention is Mohammad Akram. Admittedly I have not seen M.Shabir. Arrogance is too damnable a vice. I would happily accept the mantle of the resident fogy here. You could have stated all this in a friendly manner instead you...

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    I liked the Inna gada da vida album. It always left me amused. I was a die hard king crimson fan but back then those esoteric references were definitely beyond me. Motorhead is another band I for some reason could not get into. I loved the ace of spades as did every body else. Floyd's song...

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    Dedicated to you Luckyeddie. My advancing years seldom allow me to pay much attention to today's music or cricket. I am much interested to know about the best over you have ever seen. Lillee's against Viv in 1981 is something I missed. Could you perhaps tell me more about it? And what about...

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    Mcnun you hit the nail on the head with more than due grace. I stand accused of generalizing the matter beyond sense apparently but the world turns on such pardonable offences. As the great viv once said " Fast bowling is hard work that is why only a precious few fast bowlers are around"...

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    Hadlee is up there but in my opinion his performances on unfriendly tracks were rather mediocre. He seemed to care too much about his records and stats as if they were those dainty shoes and the world a puddle. I am a big fan of his though. He took care of Desmond Haynes with a delivery that...

    My list is a distorted reflection of yours Roberts Lillee Imran Marshall Akram Thommo Younis of the 90s Fred Truman Garner John Snow Holding is a different matter altogether.

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    Indeed he did. Once during a county match he bowled a bouncer which caught someone on the temple. The more I saw of that delivery the more convinced I became of the English resurgence. Devon had it all but where was the hunger? Where was demon that possesses the practitioner of pace? Another...

    Greatest Fast Bowler Ever

    In their madness they even recorded songs which had the express purpose of testing my loyalty. Judas Priest was more than an obsession for me. The name and the logo have not let go of the finer sense till today and even now after so many trials and tribulations the sudden riff or the scream can...
