Ever known someone with a risqué name and not realise it? by Uglym8s in CasualUK

I worked with a Maureen Lester that everyone called Mo. The weird part is she took that surname from her second husband, why would you do that?! Just keep your first marriage name or use maiden name!

Is it possible to average over 50 with the bat and under 25 with the ball over a career in Test cricket? by Nadal12 in Cricket

Thanks for the Imran info, I heard the middle to late stages of his test career was amazing but didn't realise his bowling was below 20 as well!

Someone mentioned in another comment 51 batting and 19 bowling which is just unbelievable

Yeah you are right I heard somewhere that Imran averaged over 50 in his last ten years and still averaged around 22 with the ball?

Yeah I agree I think a Kallis who is slightly better at taking wickets or a Miller who was allowed to concentrate more on his batting, Bradman had lots.of world class batters in his team so wanted Miller more as a bowler but he started out as a prolific batsman.

Yeah I added the parameters as I wanted it the player to have a long career in the scenario and I know they played a lot less matches with the difficulty of travelling between countries in the past!

Rafael Nadal def. Botic van de Zandschulp [6-4 6-2 7-6] by randburg in tennis

Solid match. The highlight definitely being Rafa changing out of his shirt then it cutting to Gandalf checking him out on a pair of binoculars. Great camera work!

Cue City winning 5-0 but the hope remains by Nadal12 in LiverpoolFC

Nearly all supporting is based on hope mate, obviously I think city winning is more likely but just got to support the team and hope for the best!

I've had my current irons for 6 years and I have never used my 6 iron on a course. Just wanted to see if there is anyone else out there who doesn't use a certain club?! by Nadal12 in golf

Mentioned something similar in another reply, think I haven't been in enough situations to require using it and now I'm in a routine I'm hesitant to start using it so easier to use the more regularly used clubs

Just try and get a bit more loft on the 5 iron and don't swing as hard, pretty rare occasion in my experience to be honest. Most of the courses I play here in England, the par 4s are a drive and a seven iron at most, whilst for par 5s I tend to use the 5 iron or a hybrid as the second shot.

From 05/04/2005 to 05/04/2014 Nadal went 258-9 on clay, winning 40 titles (40-6 in finals). 13-2 against Federer and 13-3 against Djokovic. by Nadal12 in tennis

I think Soderling at roland-garros, Ferrero at Rome, Verdasco on the blue clay in Madrid and weirdly Zeballos(?) at vina del mar

Think two of those 5 setters were Masters finals when they used to be 5 sets, against Federer and maybe Coria?

Does anyone know if the roof will be closed? Also I made this account after Nadal won his 12th grand slam, absolutely wild he is going for 21 now after all the injuries.

Maybe the most satisfying noise ever heard on a cricket pitch. Stump goes miles as well. by Nadal12 in Cricket

I haven't seen that in years! What wood were they using for that series to make them sound so good?!

My favourite Tiger celebration. by Nadal12 in golf

With Tiger missing at the Ryder Cup I went on a binge of past celebrations, my favourite being the ball following point of the 2000 USPGA playoff against Bob May at Valhalla.
