Mind you, I always see American footballers once they've removed their padding and think "Oh wow! They're actually not that big at all!"<BR/><BR/><B>Andrew</B> - It'd be great to see you :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Mickie</B> - Awwww, hey don't worry, it's as difficult for us to try to understand American Football and Pounds when we understand Rugby and Kilograms!Marshmallowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08229478994519987395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25715317.post-6052132276333544452008-02-14T20:51:00.000+13:002008-02-14T20:51:00.000+13:00...I wish I understood cricket...

Now why is it they will call him fat but there are way huger guys in American football that are still considered athletes.<BR/>If someone is that good at the sport, why would they even pick on something like that. Where is the need for that coming from>?<BR/>Next he'll be a skinny pink care bear.Christiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03836055984193279246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25715317.post-8411343353892186302008-02-14T08:55:00.000+13:002008-02-14T08:55:00.000+13:00<B>AndrewE</B> - I assume that is a request? :-D By the way, I think I'm meeting Sarah and Lawrence for a drink next Friday; would be great to see you if not then, sometime!Marshmallowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08229478994519987395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25715317.post-46045029869559673712008-02-14T08:40:00.000+13:002008-02-14T08:40:00.000+13:00More cricket posts!AndrewEwww.andreweberhard.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25715317.post-20007361467700696032008-02-14T07:45:00.000+13:002008-02-14T07:45:00.000+13:00<B>Fat Lazy Guy</B> - Indeed, Parore is quite the attention seeker; he managed to achieve that when he actively criticised Fleming's captaincy. Doesn't stop me from being pissed off about this column; if freaking Sir Don Bradman had written it himself, I would be pissed!<BR/><BR/><B>Non-Blondie</B> - Haahahah! It'd be great if Ryder was just like Warnie in some respects, but somehow, I don't think we want him emulating his every action ;-) And your description of Mel and your boss is fairly typical, but for some reason, is not believed by the majority of society. Stoopid!<BR/><BR/><B>Kek</B> - I know! And Shane Warne was a legend, he would still be welcome current play and eyebrows would be raised if it was suggested that he shouldn't play because of his size. And you'll be happy to hear that Ryder was selected top play in the current England series and is batting up a storm :-D<BR/><BR/><B>Tom Binns</B> - I appreciate your comment, but I can't help but feel that you missed the point of this post.Marshmallowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08229478994519987395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25715317.post-90727963520860283062008-02-14T00:39:00.000+13:002008-02-14T00:39:00.000+13:00I am a massive England fan and i have to concede that we have been well beaten in the previous two games. <BR/><BR/>Jesse Ryder has been a revalation so far for you but i think he may well get found out during the test series, obviously if selected. <BR/><BR/>Take a look at my blog at http://tombinns1.blogspot.com/ see what you think and comment!Tom Binnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095829513466827381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25715317.post-52040239981097006662008-02-14T00:14:00.000+13:002008-02-14T00:14:00.000+13:00Oh, I never realised that a fabulous physique was essential in cricket. Let's see....thinking about Aussie cricketers, cos they're the ones I know: apart from Boonie, there was Thommo (showing my age here) who was always pretty porky, and Rod Marsh wasn't exactly reed-thin. And of course, Warnie had his tubby phases. Did it affect their ability to play? Not that I noticed.<BR/><BR/>Your cricket selectors should put the poor guy on the team. God knows, they could use the help!<BR/><BR/>:o)Kekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02545413219256990483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25715317.post-5331050236312185932008-02-13T23:47:00.000+13:002008-02-13T23:47:00.000+13:00He should try those diuretics that Shane Warnes 'mum gave him'...I hear they're good!<BR/><BR/>It's stupid isn't it, that people will judge your physical fitness on your size. My larger sized friend Mel does at least an hours exercise every day and watches her diet, whereas my skinny boss eats chips & beans every day at work and gets the lift rather than walking one flight of stairs. Still people will assume that he works out and she is a lazy slob, based simply on their respective sizes.non-Blondiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06104655198759198075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25715317.post-45921379256569331372008-02-13T22:45:00.000+13:002008-02-13T22:45:00.000+13:00Parore's always been a bit of a miserable b***ard. He just wants a bit of attention.<BR/><BR/>That's such a good point about the fitness thing. Size isn't always indicative of fitness.<BR/><BR/>I hope next time you get told to "consider exercise" you challenge them to a run right then and there and burn their asses :)Fat Lazy Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04831580250709824079noreply@blogger.com
