Asoka de Silva?

Asoka de Silva?

He's ****ing back.

 

[Richard]

For the 3rd time.

 

[PATRIOTIC]

Asoka de Silva?

Ashoka and Billy Doctrove officiating together will be fun to watch. Hopefully, they will officiate games among minnows.

 

[Mister Wright]

Won't be the same without Hair...

Asoka de Silva?

For the 3rd time.

Can't keep a mediocre umpire down. He's obviously in the International Panel, rather than the Elite one.

Looking at the ICC's site, I noticed that Hair is still listed as being on the Elite panel, in spite of his latest ODI appearance being updated (Kenya v Scotland last month). Fairly sloppy, but I wondered if anybody had been promoted to the Elite panel in his absence, or if they're just running at nine members for the moment.

Is Brent the real name of Billy Bowden?

To be honest though, isn't he still on the panel, just not able to officiate anywhere?

 

[Mister Wright]

Is Brent the real name of Billy Bowden?

Yes. Brent is his formal name.

I see what you are saying, but if he can't umpire anywhere why is he still on the panel?

 

[Craig]

He's ****ing back.

Someboy's back
Asoka's back
Tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back...

Can't get that song out of my head.

 

[Richard]

I offer you my deepest sympathies.

at the Asoka parody, mind.

I've never called him "Billy", myself, TBH.

Nor have most of the high-ranking NZers.

Surely an oxymoron.

So is it really the case that Hair's still on the Elite panel, without being able to officiate matches between full member countries? I thought it was just an instance of the website being poorly maintained. Seems fairly bizarre if it's how it is - would he be drawing a wage appropriate to his position?

 

[Richard]

Surely an oxymoron.

Like "Australian culture"?

 

[Slow Love™]

Like "Australian culture"?

Haha, reminds me of that old "What's the difference between Australia and yoghurt?" gag.

Seriously though, mate, a bit offensive there.

Did I misinterpret that as you comparing Bowden to Nazis?

Should probably have added a or a , TBH.

After all, though, DB did say the same thing... twice... and three... and four times...
