Nice work Q, now don't you smile, or it's stinking bishop flung at ya!
Excellent post, boys.
Stinking Bishop? Is that some brand of cheese? :-/ (Q trying not to smile)...
Thanks Miriam.
It IS a type of cheese, q. It's nice, but smelly.
Does Miss-Field get to bring Lara Bingle along as her first Guest Speaker?
BTW, students would be forced to attend the Comparative Sports classes; otherwise they’d suffer a 5 year ban.
What a lineup! Mr Stamford would be blessed t have such talent all in one place.
Oh dear, sounds like I've gone all Peter Roebuck on the kiddie fiddling front..
Can I make tape ball cricket mandatory learning?
Sportsfreak - I think MF would rather bring along Lara Bingle and lock her up in the basement instead of allowing her to be guest speaker.
5 year bans could destroy students' futures you know..
Moses - I'm sure there's a story behind that, which Uncle J surely knows about..
Homer, u'll be the dean - u can make anything mandatory..
Awesome work Q, cheers.
Unfortunately, Sportsfreak, Ms Bingle declined an offer from the University to be a guest lecturer. We could not afford her ridiculous fee.
I'd just like to let everyone know that training for the faculty cricket team starts next Thursday. As it's not a mixed comp I have taken the liberty of appointing myself as the coach, and am hoping Miriam will agree to assist me.
Reading materials for first term:
1.1 - "The importance of Jena Jameson to a cover drive", by Tony Greig.
1.2 - "Michael Holding and Morpheus", by JRod
1.3 - "Dialectic parallels in Sreesanth and Jim Carey", by Sreesanth
1.4 - "The idiom of rape in Bangladeshi cricket", by Makhaya Ntini
great post Q...and thanks for considering me worthy enough for the appointment...
my first assignment(s) would be...
1. how not choke after seeing turner...
2. how not to be in awe of money (read IPL)...
i can see lots of commentators and experts (specially overseas) registering for these course in our university...
;-)) cheers!!
Miss Field, am not sure about my coaching skills but I can be in charge of kit design.
Thanks MF. Credit to Uncle J as well.
Women coaching a boys cricket team - sounds interesting. Whens the 1st session?
Miriam - what kind of costumes do you have in mind?
Funny stuff John, although Soulberry might object to material from Tony Greig..
Pleasure SP.
I think the 12 million were all Indian. U'll need to put in extra hours to cater to international students ;-)
Actually I was going to suggest that anyone who 'forgets' to wear a shirt to training may be viewed more favourably for selection.
Tuck in those tummies boys..
Honestly people! Why does it always have to come down to partial nudity?
Q, I'd resurrect Kerry Packer Coral Pink.
Uncle J suggested the pants off and MF suggested the shirts off...
Combined they've made it complete rather than partial nudity Miriam.
Coral Pink? The boys may rather be nude ...
LOL, this post made me laugh, Q! Good one!
Thanks Arwiz. Uncle J deserves the kudos.
John, that is an awesome idea.
But Michael will need to put on weight as i write it, in true morpheus style.
Moses, last time i did something like this i said you'd look good in a camp suit, and this time i called you Peter Roebuck. Sorry mate.
It's fun to be back on campus and to be greeted by eteemed colleagues thus...but Tony? Thanks mate...been a tiring journey..jet lag and all, so before I take the first class of the semester, I'll just pop over to the Dean's lodgings for a beer and check out this cult of his....with the Stanford billions, the beer and the cult both promise to be good.
Thanks Q...honored.
How about pink outfits like that pink cricket ball
Hahaha, Yes SB it sure wud be fun to be back on campus... *sigh*, the college life!
Obaid, ok they can choose between Kerry Packer Coral, and pink like the cricket ball.
I still think the boys wud rather go nude..
Q, they would not get any "support" if they did that... and also how would they shine the ball if they did that? the end of reverse swing?
Shine the new ball? They don't need clothes for that... just a and and some tongue..
