Comments on: The fourth Test was ridiculous. But exactly how ridiculous? https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/the-fourth-test-was-ridiculous-but-exactly-how-ridiculous/2019/09/09/ Independent and irreverent cricket writing Sat, 02 Jan 2021 13:43:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.3 By: Ged Ladd https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/the-fourth-test-was-ridiculous-but-exactly-how-ridiculous/2019/09/09/#comment-260859 Mon, 09 Sep 2019 18:08:43 +0000 https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/?p=22048#comment-260859 I decided to be angry with this one. I don’t think that Steve Smith warranted four out of six ridiculous points. Three maximum. Two would have been my mark for him.

You can’t have the same fellow top score with the bat and top score with ridiculousness. That is illogical to the point of being ridiculous…ah!

I think Liebke & Bowden ought to have been a men’s doubles partnership from the 1970s. One of those pairings that just missed out to the likes of Newcombe & Roche, Hewitt & McMillan, McNamara & McNamee (I’m not making these up)…

Liebke would have been the one with the antipodean tash…obvs.

You see, in these theories the operation of multiplication is not commutative: a*b is not the same as b*a.

I might have missed Dan’s point though which was something about Steve Waugh or someone.

Also, the name “Liebke and Bowden” is crying out for a much-awaited sitcom that ends up getting canceled after one season.
