When's the next Podcast?

When's the next Podcast?

The Podcasts were cool, any chance of continuing them during the off season? There is so much to talk about...confirmed signings, speculation on signings, A-League expansion, the Youth league thing, Melbourne and Adelaide f$&king up in the Asian Champions League, Oly-whites, kiwis abroad, a competition or two (how about most insulting Winston insult)... etc etc

Next week (hopefully) SC... we've been a bit busy.

Cool.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cough cough *busy* cough cough splutter wipes eyes chuckles

Busy - Too drunk to do anything more meaningful than grunting and periodical moderation of YF.

Did I miss anything lads?

Oh yeah and we all have careers and families to think about.

I have hours of bus rides to get through to get to Bolivia, they play badly dubbed Steven Segal movies at full volume and I need the dulcit tones of Marius and Piney top drown it out.  I want a bumper podcast and I want it now!!  No more excuses...

At the risk of it turning into a cheesy "YF is awesome' thread... We all know how hard you guys work and we're more than extremely greatfull. I know that my life would be a heck of a lot more boring without YF.

f**king load of bollocks.

and i got paid in concrete

As always, absolute class.

Yes, that �pit� was called the backbencher

Looks like we will record this Thursday - after both Piney and I (and prob Thommo) have had full day at first day of Basin Test Match. Dangerous.

Ian Sandbrook if you want one more relevant to the audience.

Mark Burgess used to do both senior sides at the same time didn't he ?

The umpire you reffer to is Steve Bucknor and Botham played for Sc**thorpe (11 League matches) and had time with Yeovil though I don't know if he played a League game for them.

Geoff Hurst played one First Class game for Excess in 1962

Also Pakistan and India have been known to play each other in football matches before cricket games.

Phil Neville captained the England U15 cricket side.
Denis Compton played for Arsenal and his brother Leslie played football for England and Arsenal as well as cricket for Middlesex and MCC.

There was a really good article about cross over players on cricinfo.com a while ago but I�m high as a kite and I�m not going to go and look for it.  But worth a look. 

Enjoying Bolivia's finest JD.....thats the spirit!!

My entry is Viv Richards - heres an excerpt from an interesting Guardian article in '05....

I believe Viv Richards may be the only man to represent his country in both soccer and cricket World Cup competitions, playing for Antigua in qualification.""Viv Richards was once dismissed by Coventry goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic when Ogrizovic (of Shropshire) played for the Minor Counties against the touring Windies,"

And Geoff Hurst, apparently a wicket-keeper, also played at least once for the Essex first XI.

Noel Cantwell (West Ham, Man Utd) played football and cricket for Ireland, while Andy Goram (Oldham Athletic, Rangers, Hibernian) did the same for Scotland - but his dressing up in whites instead of a keeper's kit caused some rows; he kept wicket for Scotland against the Aussies in 1989, but Rangers banned him from playing cricket in case of injury."

But it's back to Ian Spittle for the man that trumps the lot: "CB Fry played in the 1902 FA Cup final for Southampton, and for England v Ireland in 1901, as well as playing 26 cricket Tests for England, holding a long jump record that stood for 21 years, and famously being offered the throne of Albania."

thats brilliant stuff. fair to say that must put you in the running coxey

Are you sure you don't mean Ellyse Perry who plays cricket for Australia and football for the young Matildas? Cathryn Fitzpatrick is 40.

Don't trust Wiki

How many times have I told you that ?

Uh uh uh....I've got another - not so famous but fairly topical...

Hattrick hero Ryan Sidebottom's father Arnie who was in Hamilton watching his son play a test match for the first time.....

Arnie Sidebottom was one of England's many one-cap wonders of the 1980s - his only Test was against the Australians at Nottingham in 1985 when he was 31 (and by his own admission "well past my sell-by date"). He took 1 for 65 before a foot injury caused him to limp out of the match - a fitting end given that he had something of a reputation for being injury prone. He might have played more for England but for his successful football career - he played for Manchester United, Huddersfield and Halifax.

good work coxey

Nice one, cheers chaps.....nothing like a bit of trivia research while sitting on the couch with a beer in hand....
