Comments on: referring from the grave http://cricketwithballs.com/2009/12/21/referring-from-the-grave/ just another bullshit cricket blog Sat, 26 May 2012 10:11:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Paddy http://cricketwithballs.com/2009/12/21/referring-from-the-grave/comment-page-1/#comment-20127 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:52:03 +0000 http://www.cricketwithballs.com/?p=7593#comment-20127 Reminds me of the story about Bradman in the 1980s when he was asked how he would bat against the great West Indies bowlers of the day. “I’d probably average in the mid-50s,” Bradman said. “Really,” asked the interviewer, “so you think these bowlers would have more chance of getting you out?”

“Well you have to remember that I’m now in my seventies,” Bradman said.

I presume that even death wouldn’t stop Bradman from averaging less than 40, which would make a zombie Bradman more of a safe pick than a living Ian Bell.

Imagining the chanting going on and Ian out of sheer habit commenting that this is not how it used to be done in the 70s.

Now I am out of it.”……

Let us just say that zombie bradman brings back with him zombie version of past cricketers and they challenge our current emo cricketers to a real cricket match without helmets and other fancy protective gear. Winners getto rule (or infest) the world. I can imagine Malcolm Marshall going medieval on Probot’s head.

But you can’t come back from the dead, that is true.

Maybe he should have had a word with Shep first to clarify the law and saved himself the trip.

There is a stand at Ian Bell’s beloved home ground Edgbaston named after Hollies. (True, but not very interesting)

Bell will be seeing a lot more of this stand in the upcoming summer.

Can only assume the umpire was there to watch Bradman bat.
