I am Jimmeh Hopes!

He was superb with his 5 - 14.

He was Man of the Match.

He was only slightly less God-like than My Lord.

He was consise.

He was fast.

He was brutal.

He was bald.


But, most importantly, he was NOT Ryan Harris.

Told you so.

Oh my god...why is HE BALD!

I didn't see the match as my channel didn't show it, but I cursed you lot plenty.

It wasn't shown anywhere was it? Thank God, I might have passed out with the tedium of it all. This version of the Aus bowling 'attack' makes me want to snooze something rotten.

Still it sounds like the 4-year-old wickie, Timmy, had a very good match behind the pegs. More of them please and then we can tell BadHands to go and sit on an egg.

Jimmeh as fast. Ha, ha, ha.

I think he must have had his head shaved for the lobotomy and it hasn't grown back yet.

I don't think it was shown anywhere. I was at work following on cricinfo between bouts of wanting to commit homicide.

I love Jimmeh, but he has only pulled this off against Ireland, hasn't he? My Lord at least managed a 5-for against Pakistan. I was just overjoyed that it wasn't Ry-the-not-Jimmeh.

Same here Sid. I will be sinfully applauding every four and six smacked off Harris and McKay (who really does appear to be the most ordinary bowler every to take on the baggy green) in this series.

How did it come to this? These three pace bowlers as our first picks? I don't mind Bolly though.

...is that West Indian for 'Jimmy'?

Sidthegnomenator said...

Yes, Stani. I am fluent in West Indian. It needs to be said with a pump of the fist to be the correct pronunciation.

Lou, "clint" the sound effect was drafted in to India when everyone else was in the St Cricket Australia Hospital for Dire Inuries and they were desperate. Now he just seems to be hanging in there for no apparent reason. He's like a piece of gum on your shoe - try as you will, you ain't getting rid of it.
