I haven’t seen a lot of him bowl.
I saw him in Sri Lanka, New Zealand and now in this series.
But I don’t remember him being a stroppy cow like he is now.
I am pretty sure he said to Mills “I want an oompa loompa now daddy”.
The stroppiness has reached Nel like levels.
But Nel is funny.
Ryan is not.
For a man with a severe waddle to the wicket, he seems overly confident.
I know he won the series in New Zealand, but, wickets don’t allow you stroppiness, nothing allows you stroppiness.
Worst examples of Ryan’s new found stroppiness.
His treatment of English fielders. Ryan they are not your biaches, they are people too.
His faux throwing back at the batsman. It’s uncoordinated, and you don’t pick up the ball half the time.
His head head whips, which look flat out ridiculous.
His constant kicks of the turf.
His spitting in anger, he looks like a snake trying to eat a dodo egg.
Sidebottom was a chane to be a working class hero.
The cover band drummer hair do.
The ample caboose.
The waddle to the wicket.
The wickets.
But now he could be alienating the very people who want to make him a cult hero.
I know Allan Donald told you to be aggressive Ryan, but you really look like a cock when you do it.
Are we getting a podcast this week?And make up for the lack of one last week? :)
Don’t diss GOD! You’re going to Hell. Ryan’s misunderstood. It’s not his fault that LIFE’S NOT FAIR!
At the moment I don’t really care, hes one of the players few players busting a gut for us at the moment. He knows its his only chance at this level and hes determined to make the most of it.
Deepak, still having technical difficulties, may be able to do one tonight or tomorrow, i hope. Ad, God is not a drummer in a cover band.Narkins, surely you can bust a gut without being an ass clown.
You’ll agree with me when he gets an undefeated ton to us home today**may not actually happen
True but lack of other people gut busting is infuriating enough to make me think that accepting such behavour is okay. Which in turn makes me more angry at the other members of the England team.
gut busting is not English, but then nor is nerfing around like a Monty. Sidey needs to find his own unique response. Doing something about the seaweed clinging to his head could help
I like that he’s a trier. I’d rather a stroppy trier than someone ineffectual and effete.
Narkins, I did like it when he berated Kp for feigning n injury instead of throwing the ball for a run out.
I actually think the rest of The England may have worn him down. When Sidey was repeatedly dropped by Matt Prior at the beginning, you didn’t get much more than an eye-roll and an “oh Matt!”.
Mims, i think you are right on the money.
