  1. We could be here all year trying to list all the people who would have been better.
  2. Given some of the players in the league who still have jobs, I'm going to guess not.
  3. Aha, that figures better than my dumb guesses.
  4. My guess would have been Choshu in the middle, Hogan at the top. Hansen definitely, it might be Taue but maybe Tenryu? Front right looks like Kikkuchi to me, but he wouldn't fit in with the rest.
  5. I was actually listening to that as it happened. Second best bit of TMS commentary in the last year or so, just behind someone explaining to Carlos Brathwaite what the Shipping Forecast was, then letting him read some of it out on air. https://twitter.com/bbctms/status/1287719789339848705 Meanwhile, in Galle, Sri Lanka struggled to score and England struggled to take wickets. The Hosts finish the first day 229-4.
  6. Wow, Griff Garrison is moving up in the world if he's being invited to the Dynamite post show.
  7. This test has been my go-to thing to listen to when I wake up in the middle of the night to try and go back to sleep. Not the smartest thing this morning with India only three wickets down at tea. Woke up again in time for the last ten or so overs and the ex-player in the commentary box (maybe Stuart Clark?) trying to persuade himself that the Aussies still had a chance when Thakur went down "and these last three, they can't bat!" To be fair, India was batting like they agreed with him, trying to send it to the boundary instead of playing remotely sensibly. Oh my goodness that was something fun to wake up to. England vs. India is going to be some good stuff.
  8. He seems like a good sort, but no-one under twenty five needs to have suffered nine confirmed concussions.
  9. What do you mean that wasn't Jungle Boy?! ... Have fun with the body.
  10. What you say sounds reasonable, but if you think that it's going to stop us piling on any Australian cricketer given half a chance, you are mistaken. Sorry, but I don't make the rules. I actually like Australia and the Australians I've met, but I would quite happily root against any Australian national side in any sport you would care to name against any other country on the planet. Except England (with the notable exception of Cricket. England Cricket selects Welsh players. I would rather a terrible Wales team than to be stuck pulling for England, but this is the world we find ourselves in.) Speaking of England, they bowled Sri Lanka out for 135. Wow.
  11. Turns out that the reason Tim Paine's teammates like him is because he can come out and, with a straight face, say that Steve Smith was just being Steve Smith and not deliberately scuffing up the pitch in the fourth innings of a match he'd already batted twice in. Come on, man. To be fair to our Australian members, Smith had scored two hundred runs in this test and this is nowhere near the level of sticking sandpaper down his pants.
  12. India bat out the fifth day in Sydney to cling on to an improbable draw despite, as my esteemed colleague points out, the best efforts of Steve Smith. Oh well, at least Tim Paine's team likes him. Even if the umpires don't.
  13. I don't know where he would fit in with Bulc Tellub, but if they run Blood and Guts without Cody, I will eat my hat.
  14. Griff Garrison is a fantastically handsome Jungle Boy impersonator.
  15. I haven't watched much NJPW recently, and Night Two represents the first full NJPW show I've watched in some time. To borrow a phrase from Dean in the old DVDRs, Jay White Died For Our Sins. I really enjoyed that match. I especially enjoyed him clawing at the belts after the pin. I also did like Red Shoes going missing some time between two and three and winding up half way up the guard rail. Maybe not being a regular viewer, I'm not as sick of Gedo's ringside shit as other people in this thread, but it took me three quarters of EVIL vs. SANADA to get sick of Dick Togo's ringside shit, although Togo redeemed himself with a high grade pratfall. (Also, Togo was quite possibly a better wrestler than Gedo ever was, but I suspect that's a debate for another thread) I'm not sure I've seen a Taiji Ishimori match since the days of Los Sailor Boys, so I was not expecting a Stone Killer in a Predator mask. Also, Hiromu Takahashi is a beautiful man. What the hell is Master Wato, and why did he look like such a lemon letting the heels break up a pin? He looks like a putz anyway.
  16. I don't even like Football, but the 3rd Round of the FA Cup is a magical weekend for sports.
  17. The best part was that Waller seemed to be heading off the field until Denver called time. Gutted for you, man.
  18. A little bit of context in this new thread is great and I hope it continues.
  19. As long as he recreates that bit from the Old School NXT where, instead of climbing over a wall, he ran through it.
  20. I'm sure Australia getting panelled by India in the Boxing Day Test helped.
  21. To add to what my esteemed colleague said: It's not, yesterday, any more. I go visiting and I talk loud. I try to make myself, clear. In front, of a face, that is nearer. Than it's ever been before! NOT THIS CLOSE BEFORE!
  22. Minor hair-splitting: It's not so much the use of the word business as it is "this" with the weird stress on it; which is a weird american quirk of the language that bugs me whenever I hear it.
  23. Odd choice but if it gives us BREAD KINGDOM AT TOKYO DOME I can deal.
