The blerk behind me Part two

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Not Newcastle but Northampton cricket followers. (Not too dissimilar sometimes in their united joy at defeat - even some of our BBS threaders)

Few years ago my friend was watching a young Russell Warren, attractive bat, and a sometime substitute for wicket-keeper David Ripley, score a sublime double-century in his second season for the county. His proud parents were there to witness every ball. My friend saw an old hand in the notorious East End stand (whingers of the world unite) and extolled his praises of the young Northampton-born bat. The reply was typical, “Yes, but he’s no good behind the bloody stumps!!!”.

‘Nuff said
