[Cricket] Anyone remember the 12th Man?

[Dave the OAP]

A sad day for comedy and sport in this country following news that Billy Birmingham has retired The 12th Man.


So here are 22, or is that "Twenty-chew", of his greatest moments... Marvellous effort that.

22.​

TONY: Ohrrrrr, blow it out your awse Bill.

21.​

RICHIE: Security, if Max Walker comes within 10 feet of this f*cking door shoot him ok?

SECURITY: Yes Mr Benaud.

=20.​

BILL: It’s a great day for Australia and it's a great day for Victoria, a great day for the world.

=20.​

BILL: It's all happening here, the tension, the drama, the buzz, the atmosphere.

19:​

MRS BENAUD: The cream, the bone, the white, the off-white, the ivory or the beige.

18.​

YOUNG KID: Hey, Richie, how bout an autograph?

17.​

TONY: I remember when I shared a room with Immy... he cracked one through the covers. Let me tell you that hotel bed of his blew up into something resembling one of those huge Pakistani marquees.

16.​

RICHIE: Ha ha! Super piece of writing that. Really funny stuff.

=15.​

TONY: Bill shut the f*ck up or the pigeon gets it

TONY: I’m warning you Bill, if that pigeon craps on my scorecard…

SOCCER COMMENTATOR: Passes to the substitute Smith, I hope I've pronounced that correctly.

13.​

RICHIE: Amir Sohail.
BILL: Hail Ritchie, hail the great man, haiiilll!

12.​

BILL LAWRY: I love him, I want to boof him. Get him up here.

11.​

RICHIE ON THE HI-5: Just a bit of Seppo bullshit the West Indies introduced.

10.​

MAX WALKER: Go Silver Sovereign, Gooooo Silver Sovereign.

9.​

TONY: Well for starters, you can have the bastard barred from this part of the broadcast area.

8.​

BEAR: Thanks very Max muchy good afternoon to you and to everyone.

TONY: The most guts he's shown have been hanging out of that skin tight Aussie shirt of his.
BILL: I'll let him know you said that Tony

6.​

BILL: Got him! Yes.. Piss Off. He’s Out.

5.​

RICHIE: Sorry, mate it’s a private function

4.​

BILL: Grahemey Labroy? His name's Graham, Max.

MAX: Yes, well. All his team mates have such long and complicated names. Seems a shame for this young man to miss out. I think I'll just go on calling him Grahemy.

BILL: Gee, You’re f*cked in the head sometimes Max.

3.​

TONY: To me a grudge is nothing more than a place to pork your cor.

2.​

MRS BENAUD: Welcome back to the kitchen love.

RICHIE: Thanks darl. Marvelous to be joining you in the kitchen, for the first time today.

Dredging my memory from about twenty years ago here but I'm pretty sure it was the first (and last) place I heard anyone describe flashing your arse as 'brown eyeing the crowd'

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Classic true wartime yarn, and Johnathan Rhys-Meyers' German accent is spot on. Very brave were many Norwegians in WWII.

 

[HyperTony]

Tony "...and the putch an absolute motherfucker"

'Anyone remember the 12th Man?'
