Was mucking round on this interweb thing the other night when I came across these beauties!! Not much to say - just enjoy (and share them with your mates).

10. Rod Marsh & Ian Botham - When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: “So how’s your wife & my kids?”

9. Daryll Cullinan & Shane Warne - As Cullinan was on his way to the wicket, Warne told him he had Been waiting 2 years for another chance to humiliate him. “Looks like you spent it eating,” Cullinan retorted

8. Robin Smith & Merv Hughes - During 1989 Lords Test Hughes said to Smith after he played & missed: “You can’t f**king bat”. Smith to Hughes after he smacked him to the boundary - “Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can’t f**king bat & you can’t f**king bowl.”

7 . Merv Hughes & Javed Miandad - During 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed called Merv a fat bus conductor. A few balls later Merv dismissed Javed: “Tickets please,” Merv called out as he ran past the departing batsman.

6. Merv Hughes & Viv Richards - During a test match in the West Indies, Hughes didn’t say a word to Viv, but continued to stare at him after deliveries. “This is my island, my culture. Don’t you be staring at me. In my culture we just bowl.” Merv didn’t reply, but after he dismissed him he announced to the batsman: “In my culture we just say f**k off.”

4. Malcolm Marshall was bowling to David Boon who had played and missed a couple of times. Marshall: “Now David, Are you going to get out now or am I going to have to bowl around the wicket and kill you ?”

3. Ricky Ponting & Shaun Pollock - After going past the outside edge with a couple of deliveries, Pollock told Ponting: “It’s red, round & weighs about 5 ounces.” Unfortunately for Pollock, the next ball was hammered out of the ground. Ponting to Pollock: “You know what
it looks like, now go find it.”

2. Fred Trueman - While bowling the batsman edges and the ball goes to first slip,and right between Raman Subba Row’s legs. Fred doesn’t say a word. At the end of the over, Row ambles past Trueman and apologises sheepishly. “I should’ve kept my legs together, Fred”. “Soshould your mother,” he replied.

1. And of course you can’t forget Ian Healy’s legendary comment that was picked up by the Channel 9 microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga called for a runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney… “You don’t get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat ****!!!

Well, anyone who has taken a close look at this site can probably work out what my favorite film of all time is… however it would appear that my favorite movie, The Castle has been voted Australias Favourite Movie of all time.

The Castle was announced as Australia’s favourite film at the L’Oreal AFI Awardsin 2008. It won the award ahead of four short listed Australian films – Gallipoli, Lantana, Muriel’s Wedding and The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

In recognition of 50 years of the AFI, a public poll was conducted in late July by the AFI in association with Australia Post. The public voted online at the AFI website which had an extensive choice of Australian films. In recognition of the public vote, five films were chosen. These appeared as five stamps and were released as the Favourite Australian Films stamp issue on 3 November 2008.

Anyway, for anyone you know who is a fan of the movie – make sure you send them the link to this site! As we have a great range of “The Castle” T Shirts such as: Bonnie Doon T Shirts, Straight to the Pool Room T Shirts, and Tell Him Hes Dreaming T Shirts. A must for any Castle Fan!

Check out the shot above from one of our customers Jonno from Brisbane. He has been hitting the casinos and the clubs in Las Vegas pretty hard for the last week or so, and by the sounds of things is a pretty broken man! Anyway, don’t take our word for it this is what he had to say.

“Echidna People how’s it going? Just thought I would drop you a picture of me rocking my Brisvegas t shirt in the mighty Las Vegas itself! Having a sweet time over here but not having much luck on the tables… Gonna wear it tonight to the Casino and see if it brings me any luck!”

Anyway Jonno, thanks for the photo - looks awesome! Hope wearing an Australian T Shirt to the casino bought you some luck!
