I’ve been trying to think of 80s and 90s cricketers who missed out on the franchise revolution, but who may have been big money players (if they’d had the chance).
So far I’ve got:
Sir Viv Richards
Sir Curtly Ambrose
Courtney Walsh
Sir Ian Botham
Darren Gough
Graham Gooch
Robin Smith
Kapil Dev
Anil Kumble
Mohammad Azharuddin
Allan Donald
Lance Klusener
Javed Miandad
Saeed Anwar
Imran Khan
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis
Who have I missed out?

Identify the batsman (probably easy).
Who is the bowler?
And the fielder? It’s not very obvious but if you followed the game those days you can kind of guess.
And when and where was this?

The Art of Reverse Swing!
The umpire didn't notice the late swing, and thought it might just miss leg stump.

NEW: Teenager blasts woman with a pressurized hose at a car wash after the driver rolls her window down and throws a drink at her.
Instant karma.
The incident happened at an Indiana car wash while 18-year-old Anna Harycki was working.
"I picked up the pressure washer and started spraying down their car. The girl rolled down her window and threw lemonade at me, and I was in shock."
Harycki said her immediate "reaction" was to just blast the driver with the water.
The customer and her boyfriend were then banned from the car wash for life.

@BasilZempilas @CityofPerth @thecgf Would you MC the closing ceremony and forget to introduce key people to talk?

COMMONWEALTH GAMES…
Not often you get a second chance like this @CityofPerth
Here’s how it should work - we tell the @thecgf how much we will pay.
We tell them “here are our venues” you make YOUR games fit around what we have.
Perth is in the driver’s seat they need us.

@OLoughlinSteve This is painful to watch! How can the brains trust not be across this, just bowling slot balls to a left hander who is clearing the front leg

Bowl straight. Deep mid off. Deep mid on. Catching cover, mid wicket, mid off and mid on and see how he goes. Not rocket science. We do it in country cricket! Fuck me!! #Ashes23

@ESPNcricinfo Take the wickets you took off your record then and from any other series where Covid restrictions were in place

"Nothing about that series was high-level performance because of the Covid restrictions... I've written it off as a void series" #Ashes

We’ve seen some wonderful cricket already in this series and it’s also great to see Virat Kohli go back to being friends with the Australians after the ugliness of the last home series in 2017 #IndvAus

@BasilZempilas @WAGovernment Similar to when you MC’d the 2021 AFL GF Presentations and the premiership coach didn’t get to speak

I've finally settled on MY top-10 footy cliches/sayings that give me the shits. Generally, it's because they make absolutely no sense and have somehow worked their way into common vernacular. Thanks for the inspiration @_jennafulton
