Cricket 'wicked whispers'

[Peter Grummit]

Beefy.

He was a great cricketer but he is f*ing useless as a commentator

PG.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I hate Ian Botham. He's a thick twat

 

[Simster]

I hate Ian Botham. He's a thick twat

Indeed, which explains his Tory leanings.

 

[Titanic]

I hate Ian Botham. He's a thick twat

is that a sensible reason to hate someone ?

 

[Buzzer]

Indeed, which explains his Tory leanings.

He's a cricketer - they're all tories. Even the clever ones.

Ian Botham is stuck in the 80's. How can he not realise that in 2007 a pre match routine does not involve Pedallo racing and getting pissed?

Some of his 'expert' commetary is also straight out of GCSE standard. If a team hasn't taken a wicket the best decision is not always to 'bring on a quickie'

No wonder he never lasted as captain.

It can be if you have to listen to them for hours on end. Sky just don't seem to twig that great players don't automatically make great pundits.

 

[Simster]

Come on Tooting, spill the beans.

 

[Tooting Gull]

No, I haven't read enough amusing guesses yet.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Is the pundit in question also an ex player?

 

[Tooting Gull]

Is the pundit in question also an ex player?

Yes he is.

I'd approach it like this - who is the most outspoken player in recent years, and who IS the worst pundit?

 

[El Presidente]

Geoff Boycott and Bob Willis

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Is it mike atherton about Geoff Boycott?

 

[Simster]

Geoff Boycott on Nassar Hussain

 

[Tooting Gull]

El Pres has clearly thought this one through...just the 'recent years' bit now.

 

[Simster]

Nassar on Bob

 

[Pavilionaire]

Personally, I think David Lloyd is a shocking pundit and Colville is OK.

The most outspoken player in recent years is possibly Goughie.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Vaughan about Botham.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Nasser Hussein HAS to be involved...?

 

[Simster]

For fucks sake tooting, give us the answer.
