Crombie Jardine - Stumped Again!

"A very small crowd here today. I can count the people on one hand. Can't be more than 30" Michael Abrahamson, SABC Owais Shah is about to start coming hard Chris Adams, Sky Sports Andy Caddick's shadow is longer than he is, and he's a very tall man Jonathan Agnew Paul Collingwood is proving to be a very good tosser Jonathan Agnew The more you force it, the less likely it is to work Jonathan Agnew He didnt quite get his leg over Jonathan Agnew, after Ian Botham had spun around off balance and tried (unsuccessfully) to step over the wicket On the outfield, hundreds of small boys are playing with their balls Rex Alston, BBC At least I dont wear mascara like Alastair Cook Jimmy Anderson If they stop throwing, cricket in Australia will die Tommy Andrews I presented my trousers to the committee: I had nothing to hide Mike Atherton Kevin Pietersens sticky patch was a very small one Mike Atherton It is time for Indian cricket supporters to grow up and accept defeat as an essential part of the game.

Sport is not about winning; it is about losing. Trust me, we in English cricket know more about that than anyone Mike Atherton, on the reaction of Indian fans after India's exit from the 2009 Twenty20 World Cup On the Mike Atherton ball-tampering row Athers to Athers, dust to dust Sign outside a pub in Reading, Berkshire (1994) Shane Warne turned around like a can of beans Mike Atherton Somerset's rent-a-quote, Peter Anderson, enjoyed another opportunity to stick the boot in, accusing the would-be reformers of knowing nothing about the game. It is undeniable, of course, that an ex-copper from Hong Kong should know more about cricket than the combined experience of two England captains Mike Atherton The mateyness the team has displayed towards the opposition over the last month suggests the ruthless intent of last summer has been lacking Mike Atherton The number of fumbles, misfields and grabs at thin air brought to mind some England performances of the past... a team full of dobbers and crap fielders? It has been said about every England touring team to Australia in the past 15 years. It's nice to be able to return the compliment Mike Atherton The only one who really got up my nose was Steve Waugh who spent the entire series giving out verbals. A bit of a joke really when he was the one bloke wetting himself against the quick bowlers Mike Atherton The only positive benefit of the injury to Flintoff may be the end of his captaincy ambitions Mike Atherton Sheer pace wouldn't have worried the Indian batsmen.

Neither would ordinary bounce, especially in England where the bowlers have to bend their back to extract bounce. But the mixture of both did their undoing Praveen Amre on why India lost to England in Super Eights, 2009

Bailey was a talented English Test cricketer. A right-arm fast bowler, dependable and often dour right-handed batsman and brilliant fielder, Bailey played 61 Tests for England between 1949 and 1959. He took 132 wickets at the bowling average of 29, scored a century (134 not out) in attaining a very useful batting average of nearly 30, and took 32 catches. Perhaps his most famous achievement came at the Lords Test in 1953 when, with England apparently facing defeat, he shared a defensive fifth wicket stand with Willie Watson, defying the Australian bowlers for over four hours to earn a draw. England went on to regain The Ashes.

I don't think he expected it, and that's what caught him unawares Trevor Bailey On the first day, Logie decided to chance his arm and it came off Trevor Bailey The first time you face up to a googly you're going to be in trouble if you've never faced one before Trevor Bailey The first time you face up to a googly you're going to be in trouble if you've never faced one before Trevor Bailey Then there was that dark horse with the golden arm, Mudassar Nazar Trevor Bailey The Port Elizabeth ground is more of a circle than an oval, its long and square Trevor Bailey We owe some gratitude to Gatting and Lamb who breathed some life into a corpse which had nearly expired Trevor Bailey ... an innings of neurotic violence, of eccentric watchfulness, of brainless impetuosity and incontinent savagery. It was an extraordinary innings, a masterpiece and it secured the Ashes for England Simon Barnes on Kevin Pietersen's Ashes winning innings, 2005 The traditional dress of the Australian cricketer is the baggy green cap on the head and the chip on the shoulder.

A former Australian cricketer, and one of the greatest leg-spinners to have played Test cricket, Benaud has become one of the most recognisable and popular commentators in the game. After retiring from playing in 1963, Benaud turned to full-time cricket journalism and commentary, dividing his time between Britain (where he worked for the BBC for many years, before joining Channel 4) and Australia (for Nine Network). Overall he played in or provided commentary on approximately 500 Test matches.

With Channel 4s loss of the rights to broadcast live Test match cricket to Sky Sports, the 2005 Ashes series was the last that Benaud commentated on in Britain. Captaincy is 90% luck and 10% skill Richie Benaud He's usually a good puller, but he couldn't get it up that time Richie Benaud Laird has been brought in to stand in the corner of the circle Richie Benaud The only possible result is a draw. The alternative is a win for England Richie Benaud His throw went absolutely nowhere near where it was going Richie Benaud That slow motion replay wont show how fast the ball was travelling Richie Benaud The kindest thing you can say about their performance is that it was shoddy but you can think of many stronger words to use Richie Benaud This shirt is unique, there are only 200 of them Richie Benaud It's been very slow and dull day, but it hasn't been boring. It's been a good, entertaining day's cricket Tony Benneworth If The Poms Bat First, Tell The Taxi To Wait Banner at a Test match in Sydney
