larwood's gonna kill me cos i started this thread
Nah,i've been in bed all weekend with a nasty cold,in fact i was a bit concerned that no on would be starting a thread off!
Sri Lanka finished the day on 105-2,both the wickets falling to Sidebottom.Not a bad effort considering the pitch is probably still good,plus one of the wickets was Sangakkara
Not sure if anyone was listening to TMS early Sunday morning but Simon Hughes told a great story about Ian Botham.Apparently on one tour of Sri lanka the england team were staying in a hotel[obviously].They were sitting down eating dinner,all expect Beefy who'd ordered the turtle curry and was still wating for his.Finally his Beefiness got bored of waiting and went into the resturant to discover what had happened to his food.He found the cook trying to kill the turtle,but every time he tried to kill it the turtles head would hide back in his shell.Beefy told the cook to let him try,he pulled the turtles tail and his head popped out and Beefy slit its throat.
Amazing said the cook how did you know to do that?Well said Beefy i used to room with Gladstone Small and had to help him put his tie on in the morning
It probably loses something in the telling,i am an awful joke teller and i can't believe its a true story.But it had me in stiches at 6.30 in the morning after watching the Hitman lose
