    It would be some save that's for sure. Can't see it happening though, he's not in the best of touch…

      Not a massive cricket fan, but it does feel good.  😉

          Well done thus far Australia…...England in Boycotts words were pathetic....

          What he said about Butler:

          _"Jos Buttler is like a rabbit caught in the headlights of Ashes cricket. A seven-year-old schoolboy would have played better. He hasn't made a run all series.

          He hasn't shown any application whatsoever. It looks to me like his mind and confidence is shot for Test cricket - it's pathetic."_

          Oh, but of course @ddtrash 's colleague, we're trying to make it into a game….

          "OK face up to it - you're useless but generally pretty honest and straightforward . . . it's a rare combination of qualities that I have come to admire in you" - Geo 2011

            Rest in peace Brian Close! Like most others outside England, I came to know about him after seeing a clip on YouTube in which Michael Holding battered him with short stuff aimed at the body.

            To face Holding & Co. at the age of 45 with no helmet on, the man had guts.

                Nice one Sreeni. Too Close for comfort! RIP to a gentleman and fine cricketer.

                  Thanks Maynard! There are many things one doesn't see anymore. This includes toothpick like bats, camera angle from the wicketkeeper's end, men in their 40s playing international cricket, run-ups that begin near the boundary, and a cricket that scares viewers.

                    RIP Mr. Close. A fine, brave cricketer indeed.

                    I can't imagine what it must have been like, standing at the crease, and watching Holding starting his run up in a different postcode, knowing fine well he had no intention of bowling at your stumps!!  :o

                    Kudos.

                          England is inching towards its biggest victory in a long time. Any thoughts? Or do you guys think it might jinx it.

                          Anyway, I am loving the Ashes a lot more than the Test match my country is playing right now.

                              That turned out to be true! Anyway, gotta appreciate the enthusiasm of the Barmy Army fans who have bought tickets for the 5th Test.

                                Has anything been happening in the world of cricket lately (other than England’s shambolic away form in Tests)?!  😉

                                    Luvvly jubbly, what a test! Let’s back this up at Lord’s England. We need to deal with Kohli though, he’s top drawer.
