Your Favourite Cricketer

[rentaghost]

Love the story about some County pie-chucker sledging Sir Viv after he had beaten the outside edge a couple of times on a somewhat bowler-friendly pitch:

"It's red and round and you're supposed to hit it"

Shortly afterwards Viv hits the ball out of the ground into the next postcode:

"You go and find it", says he, sauntering down the wicket. "You know what it looks like".

It was Greg Thomas - mind you he was no pie chucker either he was f***ing really quick.

Aye, Thomas was the sharpest English (Welsh) bowler in the mid 80s. Shows how confident Sir Viv was. I remember his last wick partnership with Holding over here in 1984. He must have got 130 out of the 150 they put on.
