I've got a ten year old Newberry Uzi that I use for T20 these days. An absolute unit of a bat. Slightly longer handle and shorter blade than a traditional SH bat without going to the extremes of the Mongoose bats that Matty Hayden endorsed which got banned because they were changing the shape of the ball.

Newberry stopped making them few years back but they have such good customer service that they've replaced the handle twice whilst only charging me postage to get it down to their workshop and back. I'll be little bit heart broken when it finally breaks for good. Not a forgiving bat if you miss the middle but when it goes boy does it go!

I always found that a heavy bat slowed down my stroll to the wicket and back to the pavilion.

Tesco have started doing an orange infused dark chocolate. The worst of both worlds right there.

On its own its tolerable but with Cheese and Onion Walkers its Frak mustard

An old skipper I had was an Aussie bloke that was a gun bowler but absolute rabbit with the bat. He batted with about a 25 year old plank of wood that weighed nothing at all. A junior asked him why he didn't get a new bat and he said, "why make my kit bag heavier with something else that's going to miss the ball by a foot".

Our overseas player is a shocker with the bat.

Indian chap. Spin bowler (surprisingly*) and all round sh*t fielder (surprisingly*). We may as well bat with 10 men. Utter sh*te. Runs like his legs have been chopped off. Good job he turns it sideways or he would be a complete waste of space.

I bought a CA Style bat from the defective pile in the factory in pakistan for around 39p it lasted me about 7 years until the face fell off. Every other forward defensive stroke accidently went for four when it hit the middle. My only regret was that I didn't trade it with a guy who wanted it 4 matches before it died. He offered a hefty Gray Nichols bat with the two chevrons cut out of the back to reduce its weight.

Good knowledge (legit).

Galted once educated me (I know, hard to believe) on here as to what an interrobang was. We then used it for about 6 months till everyone got bored.

What are you banging on about!?

Galted?! Wasn't it me?!

Technically I think a grawlix is a replacement for a swear word. We use a replacement just for one letter.

Maybe it was you, Jules. It would certainly be more in keeping with your skills as a wordsmith and a grammer nazi.

Maybe me and Galted just got over excited by it and that is what I remember.

It was a long time ago and I have died once since then.

Julius just used a grawlix.  Happy to introduce you people to such things.

Fist again losers!

Sicond and not Charles Grodin.

Tird and not Darwin's Arch.

This really is the place to be to learn about celebrity deaths

Ffs, Ferrell didn't make the c*nt cut. Though it was an extraordinarily headbuttable group.

I haven't been keeping track. Did Hugh Jackman get through to the next round? It would be a travesty if he did - he's one of the the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.

Not sure about that. Perhaps Tino could inform us when he wakes up.

Morning, alll.

Morning, Rick. Glad you could make it. We were just wondering how Hugh Jackman did in the group stages.

Glad I could make it also, also glad to see the conversation is fizzing as always. Is Tino up, he could maybe help.

Hopefully he won't be disappointed if Hugh doesn't proceed through to the next round and will hide his despair behind a pair of round rimmed indoor sunglasses.

If that is the case I hope it doesn't distract him from his work. Although it makes for excellent Tw*tter, I don't think too many brides will be happy with their wedding dresses falling apart at the altar.

His jizz will stick them together.

Bonus round for voting is up. Then begins the slog of the final 32

A rare flipper michaelsing, nice.

Fist.

Sicond

Tird.

Pity we can't have an FA cup-style draw for each round with a famous retired c*nt picking balls out of a bubble.

L*l out loud. Think that this would be beneath him, and that he'd want the Gallagher brothers declared joint winners without the need for a poll.

Actually that is a good point. How come nobody nominated the Gallagher's?

I think that one of them was nominated. They do seem to have a bit of a following on these boards though.

Because we don't look back in anger.

Disappointing.

I am aware that every fist is basically unmichaelsing someone, but this is getting silly.

Fist

The Unmichaelsing Fist. Sounds like a title or name of something. What I do not know.

Sicond

Harry Potter and the Unmichaelsing Fist

Tird

The Way of the Unmichaelsing Fist, great game.

Late morning unmichaelsing.

Unmichaelsing is trending.

I'll take the bullet, a weekend michaelsing is fair punishment for missing today's CC knockouts.

Dolph that location is poetry. First Tino had Libertines lyrics as his location, now you're rolling the Boss and the Morning Tea Society into one. Two cultural phenomenons that have deserved equal footing for far too long.

Tracy Chapman is the Boss?

My location is also very clever. It says 'wfh' which means 'working from home', because that's where I work at the moment.
