There were a couple of points of interest that I discovered on my search of the Wangathon 9000. It seems that Frank actually lives and coaches in Essex, the still doesn’t explain how he got the the last 3 in East Anglia (Eastern) as Essex are firmly in the Southern section.

Seems to have a decent bowling coach at his new cricket centre in Ian Pont, classic Wiki opening line claims he was known for his strong throw. Actually he did play baseball over the pond for a while.

I bet he is a whizz with the Wangathingy.

Pont’s latest discovery is The World’s Best Slower Ball known as The SLOB (Slower Obsolete Delivery), which is hailed as a breakthrough as it drops like a stone into the batting crease when appearing to be a beamer. His coaching web site is http://www.maverickscricket.com.

If you would like to send me a few Wangys i will set up an agency in USA, Frank.

Just to show I’m a serious player our captain has been mia apparently in secret training with the USA national team.

Actually, I bet we have more famous ex-players than any UK village green team

To be fair, Sevendaughters, Highfield was always a good bit more tropical than Platt Bridge. As I recall, it even had trees and things. Maybe that was affecting your action.

The question we all missed is can we use it on dogs?
My dog is a bit weak just outside off

Thanks for all the comments and votes – I can’t think how wangatron 9000 slipped through my mental net. It seems so obvious now. Having come relatively unscathed through the bearpit that sems to be king cricket i can face the rest of the cricket world with a clear and steady eye.

AND you realised that although its very similar to a dog chuckit, it has been adapted for cricket. Hallelujah.

The original joke? We’re 30-odd comments into this now. What constitutes the original joke?

Probably something about balls. Balls are always funny.

I live in America now and have lost most of my sense of humor (sic), i took the original joke as being the 3rd hand information

My bad, I couldn’t shape the joke well enough to make it look like I was so terminally untalented that I couldn’t swing the ball.

Perhaps you would like to omit the last three posts from history.
