Today is Excellent News Day! First Bjelke-Petersen finally carks it and now this!!! If you're not in the Grouper First Ring (and why not?), could you send the clip to the alveytv gmail box?
cheers
alvey in briz, recalling the adage about 'Only the good die young.' Petersen died at the age of 94. 'nuff said.
oh Al, are you really getting that embarrassed by reading your own posts that you have to put SRW at 2 ?

You're both right. It was dusty in the first innings. Then it rained, making it a sticky for the second innings. -- John Hall

The entire England team in the March 2001 Test at Kandy - not only for appealing against Jayasuriya for a catch off of the most palpable bump ball imaginable but for being caught on live television immediately afterwards watching the replay on the giant screen at the ground and openly laughing about it.

Billy Doctrove, West Indian acting as 3rd umpire 3 years ago in the West Indies vs India..............West Indies captain Carl Hooper is run out by a yard with the Windies teetering..........the umpires in the middle ask Doctrove for a verdict based on the tv replay, Doctrove is watching the same pictures that everyone else in the world which show the Windies captain well out of his ground.
After a delay of at least five minutes (even as we're watching a freeze frame of Hooper a yard short and the bails in the air) the tv commentators are saying "I can't understand the delay here, its a straightforward enough decision) Doctrove gives Hooper not out.

1. Anil Kumble - for appeals so very, very far above and beyond.
Of course, put in an Indian spinner for over appealing, leave out the Aussie fat boy, who not only appeals a lot, but was suspended for one year for failing the drug testing policy.
Yet another instance of "no biases" there == right Alve?

Of course there's bias there idiot. I'm biased against Kumble because IMO he's the most farcical over-appealer (and ham actor) in world cricket. If you don't share my opinion that's bad luck. If you think it's race bias then you're an even more ridiculous nitwit than I previously thought.

Maybe, but Nasser Hussein (who seemed to be laughing loudest) had the opportunity to call the batsman back.

Hmmm, sinking to the lowest common denominator just because others around you have seems to be a valid justification in today's society.
