    It's interesting to see how the game has changed over the years. Nowadays you wouldn't see a threesome after a successful fringing like that - teams are much more focussed on getting early doors. I understand why they do it, but it was a lot more interesting back in the day.

      100% with you there. did you see how he went for the buckfoot in the right schwig on the board?! that's how they played it back then. there was excitement and elegance! and then they had the courage to go red, greens and yellow to finish it off the next round. unimaginable in today's plays!

    • @drehendesMausrad

      Yes, yes, the olden days were always the better, weren't they? @Flutterdash already said setting the focus on the early doors is an understandable change and in fact I say it's a necessary change. With players like McLeod or Farnsworth you can't hope to win with the first greens before making an odd glouster.

      Oh look at that graceful frigid on the grass there! Reminds me of Gullfords 1985-double grass-game. Indeed the olden days had its elegancy and it's diligent focus on triffles and strokes with one for two each time around, and that we must not forget. Yet the game clearly evolves in a more paceful manner with Mulroneys bold tactics and drastric measures in accordance with the more frequent use of early doors and the more modern aspects of the fringes. I really don't know what future holds for this game guys.

      Thing is though, it’s just wasn’t safe back then. Yes, bloody well entertaining and and more theatrical. But just too many hoops were lost in those days. I think think it’s a good balance between keeping hoops but still fringing. I do get what you mean though.

    "Well, we've seen that before, Ted“ - The younger among us may not remember it, but this commentary refers to the 1976 England vs. Sri Lanka match in which Sir Walter Bennett voluntarily went into the Leftovers so that Maxwell and Kenworthy III could perform a foot swept. A rare demonstration of flawless sportsmanship. Side note: referees *never* forgot to check the doors back then.

    Well, to make things short, I was there on the day that Mulroney, Wigsworth and Wrixler played this marvellous game.
    Had to wait 6 hours at the register before we could enter, the place was packed.
    We had great seats, costed a total of 718 pound Sterling, but it was money well spend.
    What really stands out to me in this clip are the following:
    1:04 you can see how Wigsworth sets up the board for the brilliant 'Compton-tant' which follows later on.
    1:15 referee Jillbritton puts in all his weight as a leading man, ending the discussion even before it starts.
    1:43 that run of Mulroney still brings goosebumps. My father went crazy and shouted, 'look, Mulroney is going for the kantoots!'
    What a game, what a day!

      They also made a great one in the style of German crime shows. Especially one called Derrick for being sooooo slow (in the 90s). Opening shot is seeing a Mercedes going onto a parkinglot that is empty, but it takes like over a minute to get it on a good parking spot. They didn't know much German, so they improvised half Dutch half German words.

      It's becoming more popular since the rules on transitive stirch swiping changed after the 2012 Championships to prevent any more injuries like those suffered by Charlie 'Drubber' Jacobs. Not career ending, but he was out of action for two seasons (9 months, give or take).

      For those who know, Jacobs coached a bit during his convalescence -- most notably with Shottingham. He also began work on his book. Great read, except he inexplicably defends a move he called "trawling", which was transitive stirch swiping in disguise -- with the exception that his version was not done in a squat.

It seemed to give a three ring advantage to his rink before the opponents had stepped up to tribb. The man still has a charisma and gravitas that can't be taught, and does heaps of work promoting rings in non-traditional countries.

      KlaxonCow A Cricket test match may take 3 days. But Baseball lasts far, far, far longer.
      For a start a Baseball “hitter” takes a geological Eon just to hit the ball once, what with all the practice swings, spitting, wiggling the bat around, the pitcher spotting someone trying to steal base, more spitting, stick wiggling. Then the pitcher actually pitches! The hitter swings, misses, IT’S A STRIKE! But no it isn’t, it was a no ball. Cue another 10 minutes of stick wiggling, spitting, practice swings. This goes on for like, centuries, until the hitter gets struck out, walks to first base ‘cos the pitcher is shit, or amazingly, the hitter hits the ball!!!!
      Which goes behind...,
      Once in a blue moon, the ball gets hit into out field, and even rarer, a home run is scored.
      In that time, a cricket batsman has scored 100 runs, because they aren’t allowed to fuck about and there isn’t like 200 adverts for pile ointment every hour.
