You have just waved the red flag for the bull. Now stand clear everyone, it's gonna get ugly

I will amend my stretching statement from before. I did a post-race stretch last night after my calf locked up during the sprint finish. I had to stop pedalling and went from a potential win to 5th coasting in

I'd be wasting my breathe. Too many misconceptions in that thread for one man to correct on his own

But thanks for the invite

for me 20-20 was fast food.
I really enjoy test match cricket as its more than just whackin a ball and setting a defensive field.
I dont really enjoy one dayers

you totally ignored the 5th commandment of Sgt. Barnes: "Take the pain! Take it! "

Back in my day if a calf locked up in a sprint we'd just reach down there 'n rip it clean orf, and tuck it into a jersey pocket so as ma could stich it back on when we got home.

Test matches are much better. What more could a bloke ask for?

Haha. Maybe if it had been the club champs, but I did kind of want to be able to drive my car home afterwards

Back in the day I used to play hockey through and with injuries. This is probably why my ankles can now rotate nearly through 360 unaided.

Never mind, Jock. I must have already made my indifference to cricket known. He's not taking the bait.
