Record or not?
Permalink Closed

Is D. J. Watson's exciting smashing in Sobers-like fashion of six sixes in an over in the BRCC v Keysie T20 match this evening another DDCA T20 record for the guy? (The unfortunate trundler, J. Whiting, was well and truly filleted and char-grilled and will have to wear some ribbing for some time.)

Watson bludgeoned his way from 30 to 66 in six deliveries. Out for 70 in opening partnership of 140 with young Tommy Rowe, who himself smashed 120 off 55 deliveries (6x6s and 13x4s). (See elsewhere: Stumpy, why didn't you apply the ''mercy rule'' after first 12 overs of the first innings of the complete mismatch?)

Watson's latest feat follows his record 193 (12x6s and 16x4s) off 69 balls against Springy South in 2007.

And speaking of records: surely another when three first class players from the same English Premier Lague club (Nottinghamshire) lined up in the same T20 match halfway across the world -- two for BRCC (T. Rowe and BIG Fletch) and one for Keysie (S.Mullaney).

Keep it coming great one, at least in proportion to all you had to say in the Dandy Journal that has just lobbed. I'll share some of your pearls of wisdom with those who might not get the illustrious rag:

No-brainer

''Tim bowled with his brains and not with any other part of his body ...." Seems the peroxide has stimulated some grey matter in the T-Model's cranium!

No kidding

"Kulatunga is a class above the rest of the competion ... He just needs to stay at the crease because the longer he bats the more he will dominate." Sorry, that's right out of the cliche book, great one. Could be said for many gun's in the comp, including your good self.

i'm a bit slow on the uptake great one. when you referred to ''chairman'' it went over my head to the keeper, but i put two and two together with your the latest reference to ''office'' and finally got it. very clever but in trying to put two and two together you have come up with five. i can absolutely assure you i am not the guy you refer to.

gdl, if you know what it means, including its broader meaning in widely accepted usage, then no need to explain!

As I suspected, you have tried to sound smart but have used a big word out of context. A wannabee intellectual who swallowed a thesaurus but couldnt digest it.

gdl, you are the one being a smart alec, whose pedancy no doubt arises from having once brushed against a thesaurus.

Despite being a simpleton, I have often encountered the use of the word pyrrhic in a broader sense than the strict dictionary explanation derived from its Latin/Greek battlefield roots. Take, for instance, the sports and opinion pages of the tabloid and broadsheet newspapers, where readers will encounter the word used in just the context that I used it to describe ''hollow'' or ''meanlingless'' victories, not just when the price paid in batttle is too high, ie in terms of those killed on the field of battle. Hence its application to the Bloods beating the Saints yet not progressing because of another team's superior position in the group.

As an aside, English is an evolving, fairly dynamic language, most recently exemplified by the Macquarie Dictionary's acceptance of the ''new'' definition of the word for a ''man hater'' following the Ranga's usage against the Monk in Federal Parliament. Your're so smart, you know the word I mean! Ahh yes, misogamist.

It's great that you have attempted to have a go at me, but plueeese, don't nitpick, especially while showing yourself to be a pedant. I guess you know the meaning of that word.
