2nd Test Australia v West Indies Jan 25-29 1430hrs @ the Gabba

I don't recall Waugh dropping as many as Smith. Weird hey.

Depends how many catches come you way i suppose.

 

[guruisatiger]

True but they wouldn't be the most comfortable or easy to run in even if the 'jogger' style. They are heavy, annoying and hurt your feet.

the modern day ones made with the plastic style protection are very light and very comfortable

I can't recall last time one of our quicks broke somebody toe anyway still seems pretty rare injury at test level

I remember Thommo at the 75 WC doing it to a poor SL batsman, pretty sure he broke his foot in fact.

 

[TigerCraig]

I know - the actual resulting injury I mean is the misfortune. Guys get hit on the foot a dozen times a game and it usually just trickles away with no recourse. In this case it’s been precise enough to seemingly incapacitate the bloke for the rest of the game

Yep, it's more common it hits the instep. Flush on the toe is nasty

 

[Jimthegreat]

Marie Antoinette Soiution would be better

What about the Henry the VIII solution....lol.

 

[TigerCraig]

Isa pinched one of those Day 1 guys banana suits

Mark once lost the ball so badly he turned his back on it to then get hit in the back with it for Shane I believe to then get the rebound

I think a couple broke their foot, while others wore it in the head.

Does it involve gout

 

[StillAtLarge]

Stfu big doss

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Langer and Hayden together in the commentary booth. I don't think I can take any more. Mute button deployed.

 

[frankrizzo]

Smith looking great so sure to miss straight one soon.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Good shot but Joseph got to keep probing away here.

 

[Jimthegreat]

By all accounts Thommo used to specialise in the old sandshoe crushers when he wasn't trying to take a bloke's head off.

Most of those accounts were from Ian Chappell though so you can take those accounts with a grain of salt.

I'm old enough to remember. Those accounts were very true. Ian Chappell was actually one of the best captains we ever had, arguably our greatest

Get them back on the field I say

Imagine if Warner joins the two of them... that would single handedly bring down Ch7

He did it alright.
He bowled Greig with one in the 2nd innings of the first Test in 74-75 for instance.

How many great players **** around with their technique like Smith? Geez he’s a unique character

 

[apollo_creed]

That last LBW off Starc was definitely going down leg as well. Poor decision.

Yes, his name was Wettimuny. Was on 53 at the time.

I keep Kayo and 7 going so I can switch when Haydos rocks up
