Think it was more the batters talking him out of taking first dig as Adelaide pitch had three blades of grass on it…🐉🐉
Bob thinking: "If we win the toss on a road in Adelaide in 120 degree heat we'll stick them in and Beefy will bounce them out" 🥵 👍 😉

Trouble is Longy, he’s signed up to promote a betting company……the association is there even if he doesn’t do so during his time mentoring England….
This has always been the issue with Pietersen, sees himself above the rules that bind others….

Still the greatest one-day innings I’ve ever seen….pain and privilege
Viv Richards, 1984, Old Trafford. West Indies were 75/5 at one stage. Viv scored 189 and the Windies won by over 100 runs! Amazing innings. @derekpringle was playing that day. What are your thoughts, Derek?
Great times with Campbelltown, should have won the Grade too….many happy returns Sully
40 years ago. @derekpringle a season with the Ghosts. Happy Birthday today for opener John Sullivan.
The most challenging conditions I’ve ever played in and an extraordinary win over West Indies thanks to Allan Lamb….. we left our Lahore hotel before dawn for a 9.30am start in Gujranwala where the concrete bowl stadium got as hot as a tandoor oven

@derekpringle hi Derek. I can vividly remember you accidentally knocking the bails off in a run out in a test match, so you took the stump out of the ground too to make sure it was out. Was it against the West Indies?
