Snow here as well.
Need to go to Morrisons when I finish at 1.
Could be sliding all over the place.
A bit like Michael Smith in the rankings.

Trying to summon the energy to take the dogs out looking outside is hard work
Put your woolly hat, scarf and gloves on....
Buy some bread, some toast when you get home...
sorted
That timely reminder I'm out of bread has got me moving!

It is when you're 6'1.
Or even taller than that, such as yourself.

A lad I used to work with towered over me.
He must have been at least 6'5.
But at least I'll never have "short man syndrome" or "Napoleonism."

Just Googled Curly Ambrose, you'd think he'd have tried his arm at Basketball if Cricket didn't work out, being that tall.

That was from the Weird and Wonderful (or whatever it was called) Museum when I went to Blackpool last year, before going to the semi finals at the matchplay.
Robert Wadlow, tallest man ever.
8'11!

Before my time.
I don't mind cricket.
Been to Edgbaston twice as a kid.
But don't think I have the patience to watch it now.
20/20 maybe.

Ambrose discussing why he never got involved in sledging in an interview with Sky
"...if you are good enough at what you do, you let the five and a half ounces (the cricket ball) do the talking for you.
"If you keep sledging, you probably aren't any good. That wasn't the West Indian way. Five and half ounces coming at you at 90mph is more than enough!"

Shaney Warne was alright, I guess.
But part of what he said is likely true.
