I know that there are things called wickets and stumps and overs and that they bowl rather than pitch. I think there's one type of throw called a googlie (I have the film "Hope and Glory" to thank for that piece of knowledge, IIRC). There used to be a guy named Ian Botham who was quite good at it and, yes, I remember the name Geoff Boycott, but as a Yank, the first person who comes to mind when I see the initials GB is not a cricketer. I refer you to a certain former president who had trouble with big words and liked to start wars.Montana Wildhackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409705185204787671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-10402659124928851372009-07-09T22:09:41.958+01:002009-07-09T22:09:41.958+01:00Shit, Montana, you’re just not with it tonight, ar...Shit, Montana, you’re just not with it tonight, are you?<br /><br />GB is Geoff Boycott, famous England cricketer and now commentator on BBC radio.<br /><br />Am I going to have to explain everything to you?<br /><br />Sheff: me too.<br /><br />It was back in the days before I had a google account and stuff.<br /><br />Since I’ve been coming here, I’ve not really had much time for “big H”andysayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03939474231538310664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-36506490660386755912009-07-09T22:07:13.020+01:002009-07-09T22:07:13.020+01:00andy - I've only lurked at Heresy Corner so fa...andy - I've only lurked at Heresy Corner so farSheffpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683877609100026566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-84953600622935012292009-07-09T21:50:17.297+01:002009-07-09T21:50:17.297+01:00GB?GB?Montana Wildhackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409705185204787671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-83589966277488966112009-07-09T21:39:54.287+01:002009-07-09T21:39:54.287+01:00Made my first deadline!
