In cricket jargon a "long hop" is a short pitched ball, but......

What is a "Michelle" ??

Never heard of a Michelle and I have been playing for over 40 years!!!


My favourite is a "Douglas"

That is a shot that doesnt quite make the boundary.....as in Douglas Bader - no legs

:lolol: :lolol: :lolol: :lolol: :lolol: :lolol: :lolol: :lolol: :lolol:

Abort, retry, fail
I did laugh when the commentary, yesterday said....

Murali has a slip on and a long leg for Strauss.


You dirty bastards :lolol:



Michelle is 5 wickets in an innings, I believe.

Correct as in Five for (Fyffer)
 






Short for "Michelle Pfeiffer"

"five-for", meaning to take five wickets in an innings, as in the phrase "Sussex storm their way to the County Championship, thanks to another Michelle from Mushy"
