You know who the new James Bond is?!?

 

[Keef]

Nope, I said current, that’s Daniel Craig at the time of writing

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He isn't. His contract ended with No Time to Die.

SSN have a tribute programme and I am hanging on for dear life against welling up.

R.I.P Shane Warne

The look of utter bemusement on Gatting's face. No batsman on earth could have kept that delivery out.

They can only have 11 players - Warne’s in, doubt Marsh is.

Who else?

Bradman
Marshall
Compton

 

[Tony Towner]

Hutton
Laker
Trueman
Hobbs

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

OOOH. Heaven's obviously rather than all time

Lawry
Hobbs
Bradman
Hammond
Grace
Compton
Marsh
Warne
Marshall
Laker
Larwood

Has to be an Aussie 11 really I suppose .
lindwall and Benaud in there with Bradman Dean Jones Marsh Warne Grimmett Simpson MacKenzie. It’s amazing how many of their great batsmen are recent though , Last thirty to 50 years .

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Doesnt have to be Aussie necessarily but probably a nice touch today. Dean Jones and Grimmett are excellent shouts. In my line-up I really wanted to put Benaud in as the second spinner but you can't ignore Jim Laker. And that still leaves out Abdul Qadir. EDIT - ignore Bedi as he isn't dead!

 

[Tony Towner]

Oh ffs, the anti vaxers are having an ill informed field day. Unfortunately men in their 50's die of heart attacks all the time

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Really? That is fucking disappointing and disrespectful. They should be ashamed.
