No.
What, you want proof?
Ok.
16 byes.
The four times I saw him take the ball on his chest in an hour.
Down the legside Ambrose looks like a man holding a bucket with a tidal wave bearing down on him.
His greatest attribute still seems to be the “catchit” he yells out every time the ball leaves the carpet by more than an inch.
English wicket keepers, even the Australian ones, are all interchangeable anyway.
The selectors have a big wheel they spin, you can win a meat tray, or select a new keeper from it.
And on the evidence I have seen, which albeit, is only one innings, I say, DJ Miller spin that sh1t.
I’m just amazed at how many pale bald keepers with unsightly facial features one country can produce. That’s three in a row by my count.
Conversation overheard at a bar:Man 1: Whose the English wkt keeper?Man 2: Its that Chris Read guy, isn’t it.Man 1: No no he was replaced by that man Jones who dropped a lot of catches.Man 2: No read replaced Jones again, its Read.Man 3: What are u guys on about. They’ve been opening and keeping with Matt Prior for some time.Man 4: Dude u got it wrong, remember that old bald guy Nixon? Its him.Man 1: Guys, my wife tells me some Phil Mustard has been keeping for England lately. Whose Nixon?Man 5: Oh come on guys, u cant be serious, that Ambrose kid got a 100 in New Zealand, he’s going to keep for England for 10 years now. Longer than Jack Russell did. Man 2: I thought Curtley had a daughter.
Chris Read obviously thinks that shaving your head is the only way to get the attention of the selectors – how long before Geraint Jones succumbs to a number one all over?
Is this time to bring up the name of Paul Nixon?
I do miss Paul Nixon.
I have never missed anyone less than Paul Nixon.
