Is there a "Mr Buy-Right" novelty garden gnomes" division that Yorkshire could aspire to for 2013?

And it's very un-PC to refer to those dusky little chaps as coming from Ceylon...

Whilst i was apprehensive of micky arthur as coach of the Australian team. A serious and i mean serious clean out was necessary. Fuck me sideways it happened with the reactionary board of selection almost all of them gone and faith put in youth. David Warner was pidgeonholed as t20 batsman i didn't buy it someone who can whack it around the ground like that isn't going to be 1 dimensional for long given the right support and coaching.

Nathan lyon is a roy of the rovers story employed initially as apart of the groundskeeping staff at Adelaide Oval was given a go at south australia (we couldn't get more shit to be fair) and now is a test spin bowler for Australia!. Now we have a board that isn't reactionary and believe that ponting clarke and co will play till they die we suddenly have a queue of players that are competiting for the baggy green.

Early days but i feel rather confident in the future hell even some of the english press are given us credit for crushing india. :funny:

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Can someone explain concisely the rules of cricket?

If this has already been done, I apologize. I haven't read the whole thread.
