No, I'm sorry but I think you'll find I'm correct.
The Gaelic **** Yachting forum was moved on to Irish Sports a couple of years ago.

I saw him play many times at my local ground The Oval. Not only a deadly quick bowler he was also a very handy late order batsman as well. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis in their pomp were an absolutely formidable opening pair, as good as any you could care to mention.

I just had a quick search of one of the times I saw England play Pakistan in a test match and I was there for the whole test in 1992. Pakistan were a formidable outfit at that time and really put us to the sword in no uncertain terms. Here is the scorecard.

Ma is battling away, you know what those old Dub biddies are like, tough as teak. She has got a wedding to go to in Leeds in a few weeks which another of the Blues brothers is taking her to. It gives her something to look forward to and she'll meet up with faces old and new and no doubt have a wee brandy or two. Thank you very much for asking, much appreciated.

I'm looking forward to the golf tonight but Rory winning the tourney will be a bit of a nightmare result for me. Good luck if you are playing as well.

Fair enough, the winner gets the beers in! Did you have a quick look at that scorecard? Chris Lewis was playing in that test. I don't think he's playing much cricket now unless they allow it in the exercise yard wherever he is serving his 13 stretch.
