Quite a silly point to make.

At work I have a mouse mat with all the field placings labelled. Know them all like the back of my hand. The worst fielder in the team/tired fast bowlers normally go to third man. Slip is the old boys club. Gully/point is for the mavericks. Silly mid on is for the guy who gets bullied.

Ive heard of them, of course. Just dont know where they are.

So when the commentator says the ball is going towards the silly point mid on offside ganguly position, fuck knows where that is

Ganguly :bow:

300-3.

You're only a true villager if you know where cow corner is.

Huge appeal on Bell, not given, goes to review.

Umpire's Call again probably.

Ah no it's plumb. :lol:

Bell. :wave: What a shithead.

300-4.

:blink:

Surely that isnt serious?

I remember playing cricket during school once upon a time. I was told to go field at silly point, had no idea where that was so i stayed where i was and just pointed at the batsman and called him silly

He did get out next ball so i took credit for that

Sledging :bow:

Roach is summoning the spirit of the 70's and 80's.

Village sledging is an art. Can't beat it. Any wicket keeper who has played at a relatively high level is a WUM first and a cricketer second.
