Warney is a fat [censored] and had dropped a heap of weight in a vain attempt to pick up more chics on Tour. (content-usa.cricinfo.com8166.htmlOpen ↗)

The real competition among cricketers is in the beer drinking.
The current record for the flight from Melbourne to London (about 24 hours) is 54 cans of beer by Mr David Boon. Apparently he had "several" drinks in the pre-departure lounge as a warm up too. He had to be carried off at Heathrow Airport. Can you imagine what his testosterone levels were?

This is where the excitement is in cricket.

Yes very true ! 54 cans is a mighty effort for a 22 hour flight..... A few other have given the record a nudge but couldn't crack the record.... the British Rugby Union team after they won the world cup gave the record a go but they were sitting in first class... Booney had the added dimension of sitting in economy and had to get others to get the drinks as they had stopped serving him on the flight....!

That is over 20 litres of beer. Do you think he had a catheter?

He must of... I read an article about it in the Australian written by Geoff Lawson... he reckons Booney was like a metronome (similar to his batting style).... he set a rhythm on each beer and kept it up for 22 hours... like you mentioned they had to carry him off the plane and into immigration.... Tommy Simpson who was the coach at the time found out that Booney went for the record along with Merv Hughes (who died at 15 cans or something) and threatened to suspended the players.... I see if I can dig out the .pdf file of the article for you.... good read...

...all the commonwealth cricketeers still quake at the approach of the jamaican team...

I thought it was mainly the groupies that were quaking. The West Indian fellas get a very warm reception from the females in Australia.

Maybe we should try volley ball, it doesn't look much infested with doping :

1/ No need for much endurance, the games are very fast.
2/ No need for that much strength or muscles (they would prevent you from jumping high)
3/ It's mostly a matter of ability and skill, and doping can't help anyone for that
4/ there's obviously not enough money there for anyone to buy expensive [censored].

Now, it would be nice if volley was more broadcasted, but if it was, then money would come too, and maybe doping with it...

Genreally speaking, to flind clean sports better to look at those more based on technicity than on pure effort (cycling, swimming, running...).

(I would recommand tennis table, but I'm afraid speed drugs might help a lot there)

Methinks your home has been too long severed from the Commonwealth to appreciate the context.

Considering how exciting the Ashes were last Summer, it's a [censored] brilliant sport. Could you beliebve Brett Lee would've been such a good batsman. I'm hoping for some more this Winter.
