Agent TBY was taking the piss with his breakdown of the voters post.Has there been a "whoosh" moment that I've missed? Genuinely confused here.
Love that a guy from Lancs is trying to argue with an Aussie who in a rare moment of magnamity tried acknowledge a Kiwi achievement!They were formed in Aus and had in their time 5 Aussie members as opposed to 3 Kiwis. Still, back on topic........
Haha, I was about to make a long-ass post about viewership ratings and attendance figures, and about keepers standing up to the wicket for the spinners that Waugh faced, but then I saw you edited your post.And apologies to Agent TBY.
Wives and Girlfriends, obv.I'm kind of confused here, whats a WAG
God, I thought it refered to WAGNERS, ??Wives and Girlfriends, obv.
Five Aussies?They were formed in Aus and had in their time 5 Aussie members as opposed to 3 Kiwis. Still, back on topic........
Good for you.We've gone OT I know, but I'd like to take this opportunity to express my complete and utter loathing of Crowded House. Dreadful whiny guitar-jangly MOTR pap.
I'm such a ****.
Okay then, 4-3 to Australia. . But they were formed in Melbourne.Five Aussies?
Seymour
Hester
Jones
Hooper
Other members:
Neil Finn (NZ)
Tim Finn (NZ)
Eddie Rayner (NZ)
Mark Hart (US)
Matt Sherrod (US)
Regardless, Crowded House was nothing without Finn. The sum total of Hester's songwriting was such genius as Italian Plastic, Skin Feeling and My Telly's Gone Bung. Hardly world-changing...
Great story, it was Jack Fingleton when he was a youngster and GG was retired from FCC. Years later Parkinson rewrote the story and it was this one that I love the mostThere's a great story from one of his contemporaries of the 1920s (I've had a mental blank and can't remember who) about going out to bat with Macartney on the morning of a match. Charlie was taking strike and as they walked out quietly leant in and told him to be ready on the first ball. This player assumed the G-G meant for him to be ready for the quick single, so he was alert and poised to take off for the run. Macartney then smashed the very first ball of the day straight back down the pitch sending the bowler, umpire and Macartney's partner sprawling sideways to avoid it. Charlie walked up to his non-striker, tapped his brow and said "Always aim the first ball back at the bowlers head. They don't like it, it rattles 'em. After that you can do what you like."
WAG.
Ah so Fingleton was the player was he? I knew that Fingleton had told this story later on but I didn't realise he had been the batsman himself!Great story, it was Jack Fingleton when he was a youngster and GG was retired from FCC.

99% sure, but I can't remember the book I first read it inAh so Fingleton was the player was he? I knew that Fingleton had told this story later on but I didn't realise he had been the batsman himself!
You're usually right about these things mate, so I'll take your word for it.99% sure, but I can't remember the book I first read it in
