I am at the oval right now watching Eyelids Pattinson steaming into the crease.
It’s the first time I have seen him in the flesh in 6 or 7 months, and he looks fiery today.
Only the one wicket so far, and he was expensive early, but Eyelids has it going on.
He almost knocked Afzaal’s nuts off.
This actually lead to a brilliant site of Afzaal dropping his pants, and players running towards him and huddling around him.
Eyelids was at the top of his mark waiting for all the bitching to end, and probably, if he is a true Melbourne boy, was making gay jokes to those around him like I was.
It’s been a rough ride for Eyelids since that test.
But his record in county cricket is pretty good.
42 wickets @ 24 in 11 matches is “pretty good”.
It’s not quite Robocopesque, but way better than Cyber Tracker.
Eyelids looks in full fitness again, and it’s good to watch him without feeling awkward about it.
Hopefully he takes this good form and performs well for the Victorian 2nd XI this year.
At least he plays most games, Dirty Dirk obviously has too much talent for one body, and he regularly breaks down because of this.
He has hardly played over here, yet is still a cult figure.
Although even he was playing today, but that was division 2, sorry Dirk, I don’t do division 2, not even for you.
You’re wrong. It is Robocopesque. It is.
It’s nice that Surrey youngster Lee Hodgson can say he got a 50 on his First Class debut against a Test bowler. Thanks Eyelids.
Ath, but you haven’t seen cyber tracker. Mel, He is looking good Mel, has played and missed a few times, but he has played alot of really good back and front foot shots. I almost rate him, watch this space.
Can I point out that Hodgson is from MIDDLESBROUGH – centre of the universe.You don’t do 2nd div Jrod? – find another team for next season then!
Ceci, you may have a point.
While you were watching Eyelids, I was watching Cricinfo’s ball-by-ball commentary on India A vs Australia A and Luke Ronchi scoring a 70-ball century. As an Englishman, I’m rather glad Brad Haddin’s your #1 keeper.
Dave have you ever seen him in full flight, tis wonderful to watch.
