    So this came up on YouTube and gave me an idea for a thread.

    Memes, catches, wickets, sixes.....but maybe above all commentary.....like this.....Tony Greig in classic creepy old man mode here.

              @Victor-Meldrew I wondered how long it would be before someone posted that 🙂

              Shame there's no original audio of "The batsman's Holding the bowler's Willey"

                @dogmeat @Victor-Meldrew There was also a passage of commentary between Waddle and others (for some reason I think John Morrison as opposed to Coney, and perhaps Blowers from a test in the early 90s.)

                Match was meandering and it was just one of those anecdotes that built and built. By the end the crowd in the stadium (all had trannies) were pissing themselves and the players were wondering WTF?

                IIRC itstarted with Blowers asking about Morrison's test wickets. But I may be conflating incidents.

                Heard it replayed once on Radio Sport I think by Graham Hill. But it seems it may have been buried as I recall others ringing and asking for it to no avail.

                  Would be great to hear that.

                  Jonathan Agnew is brilliant at double-entendres. When a batsman was taping the handle of his bat after the rubber sleeve had split, he started talking about how hard it was to put a rubber on....

                    I shared this in another thread but I don't think anyone saw it.

                    Watch it, great comedy.

                          My son learnt this joke word for word and brought the house down at my Mum’s 70th. Brilliant stuff !

                              Made me laugh. Not easy to do today.

                              O'Keefe annoys me because he laughs at his own jokes and yet some of what he says is quite funny and he is sharp.

                                I can't stand it when people laugh at their own jokes EXCEPT O'Keefe. His laugh is truly infectious.

                                I love him on the commentary

                                      @Damo I meant to and then forgot. Boycott actually took it quite well both before and after the wind up was revealed.

                                          @Damo Boycott never enjoyed much success against us. Only 2 centuries in 15 tests and an average of 37/38. Plus was captain when England lost to us for the first time ever.
