Memories of The Ashes 1974/75

[Lillian Thomson]

I still watch the highlights of this series every year. England lost 4-1 but it brings back great memories and you get to see David Lloyd take one in the nads.

Just re-read this thread, very interesting, poor old Ashley Mallett cops a serve

Ashley Mallett was a fine bowler IMO - about as good a fingerspinner as one's likely to see.

He was fantastic in combination with Jenner.

27-Test-wickets Jenner?

Have highlights of the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Tests which I haven't got around to watching yet. Each one is about an hour.

I've got similar length highlights of all 6 Tests. You can tell it was an Australian release though as they conveniently leave out England's best day of the series when they bowled out Australia for about 150 on the first day of the Final Test.

TBH, I don't know what anyone'd expect - that was an Australian series. If you want a series in which you see England reversing the fortunes, watch 1977.

Yeah, a great memory.

Don't like David Lloyd being hit in the nads?

 

[Richard]

I don't like anyone being put in discomfort. And I feel it's pretty damn insensitive to take delight in it.

Sure, I bet David Lloyd might laugh about it now, but I hate those who aren't on the receiving-end laughing when everyone knows they'd not be should they ever be.

If you really thought that you'd stop posting on this Forum.

Burn Baby Burn is a pretty good song I find.

Anyway, it's human nature to find someone being hit in the nads funny, especially as the person involved finds it pretty funny.

 

[Richard]

They argued at one time that it was "male nature" to rape women too.

David Lloyd describing him being hit in the nads. One of my favourite youtube videos.

Ah that's why so many people have stopped replying to your posts, although I don't really think anyone uses that feature even if they claim to.

You appear to have misunderstood a simple post: that was "I'll ignore that stupid comment".

Good for you.
