Not another pun thread, this is test-ing my patience.

I read his name was Will O from some far flung Umpire and he was in either row "four" or "six".

Should I keep the day job or get me coat?

I thought a Glasgow Kiss would have been a better strategy for you?

Both, why this thread is going on has me stumped

BTW is the cricketer concerned an opening batsman?

I'm pretty certain it already is rare.

When I started this thread, I was well aware it would quickly devolve into some wonderful cricket puns

Given that the report originates from the often sensational Indian media, I'm amazed there isn't more spin.

I'm also not surprised by the medium-pace used by the Sri Lankan teammates to catch him on the boundary

Well you can't let an opportunity like that go through to the keeper!

The slip was in place for a reason

Having HIDDY comment on a thread I started is like having Geoff Boycott commentating on a test match. (HM PUCCI would no doubt be the Henry Blofeld of flight commentary)

Jokes apart, I wonder if it took a third man to run him out?

He tried but the poor old fella had a short leg. Which I guess is a silly point to make.

People are just padding their post counts on this thread. They are pushing the boundaries of my patience.
