The Culture Cup Round 6 - new but not really improved

by Rowley Tue 01 Jul 2014, 10:26 am

First topic message reminder :

May be an age thing, but is Sean seriously saying he talks to people with his testicles out to see how long they take to notice? And that doing so is a laugh?

Never thought I would say this, but bring back National Service if so.

He was in contact with the ball whilst a part of his body was over the line. Either the ball, or a body part touching the ball needs to touch the ground beyond the rope for it to be a 4 or 6.

So if, in the act of making a catch, part of the fielder touches the ground beyond the boundary, it should be 6 runs, is that right?

I suspect he'd prefer Galted as a son. At least he looks the part.

I very much doubt it. Galted is probably the only person on here less likely to have killed a wild animal than me.

He could take wingrove with him though?

Unless pigeons laughing themselves to death at the sight of him in his clothes can be counted as murder

Yes. In the case of the Lyth/Finch catches, neither the ball nor Lyth (whilst in possession) touched the ground beyond the boundary.

Are you taking the pi55? Headscratch

Lyth (if that be his name) touched the ground whilst in the act of making a catch, which as the rules state does not end until the fielder is in full control of his movement.

As a professional cricketer he should be aware of the rules of the game, and should have signalled that a six had been scored. Having not done so he is as much a cheat as your Indian friend.

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 10:52 am

Lyth (that be his name) didn't touch the ground whilst in the act of making a catch - he didn't attempt to catch it - just knock it back onto the field.

If he had jumped, swatted the ball back on the field of play, then landed outside the ropes and it had not been caught - it would not have been a six. The fact that someone else caught it before it hit the ground doesn't make him part of the catch.

Union - the catch issue - drop it.

by **Union Cane** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 10:56 am

Ok, if he wasn't in the act of making a catch, he was in the act of fielding the ball.

The act of making the catch, or of fielding the ball, shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with some part of a fielder’s person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control both over the ball and over his own movement.

Same principle applies.

You may be on to something there union.

by **seanmichaels** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 11:05 am

But then again by tossing the ball back is that not deemed control of the ball?

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 11:07 am

So - a player leaps over the boundary ropes, swats a ball back into the field of play, after it's gone over the ropes, but not landed. Then another fielder picks up the ball and throws it to the keeper. Is that a six or not?

It's all semantics. The umps were happy. They are the sole arbiters of the rules on the field of play.

No maximum. Catch was valid.

seanmichaels wrote:But then again by tossing the ball back is that not deemed control of the ball?

Possibly, but he also requires control over his own movement. Open to interpretation I suppose, but the fact that he fell over suggests that he wasn't in control.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 11:13 am

He may have meant to fall over... Like Thomas Mueller during that free kick, or Robben always.

They should get it right then.

We haven't conclusively proven that they didn't. The finest minds of the Culture Cup have looked at it most of the morning and we can't come to agreement so lets just accept it for a thing of beauty and move on.

It's about entertainment, after all.

The finest minds in the culture cup! Laugh

Guilty. Is it true you can check who looks at your profile. Scared to have another look now.

No idea. Stupid invention.

I prefer the old fashioned way of hiding in bushes and rooting through bins.

I'm interested in your taste in women and to see if she can possibly live up to the hype.
Also I want to message her to warn her about you.

I'd like to have a shufty too, if only to see what the man previously smitten by the smouldering allure of Sonia from Eastenders considers to be a beautiful nose.

What happens if I end up with her? My anonimity is gone! And it may be illegal?

by **seanmichaels** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:00 pm

Ok, I'll PM her name as long as you nothing comes back on here. Who's in?

by **Union Cane** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:00 pm

You could save a photo to your computer then post it on here, we'd never find out Hazel's name that way.

by Rowley Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:03 pm

Got to be honest Sean, I am intrigued as well.

We'll all act stumm.

However, if it ever gets to the Courts we promise to testify that you are in no way related to Rolf or Jimmy.

no chance. surely it is illegal to do that?

Just post a picture of her nose.
I'm sure it's nothing to be sneezed at.

If she was brutally murdered, the picture of her that appeared on the news behind Fiona Bruce would be one that the BBC have ripped from Facebook. Nothing wrong with it.

by Rowley Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:09 pm

Being nice to Sean is clearly not working, so it is time to go good cop bad cop on this. If you don't give us her full name by either PM or the means of the culture cup I am going to ban you.

You have ten minutes to comply

by **Pal Joey** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:11 pm

Reminds me of this quite attractive Moldovan girl I knew pretty well. She had a tiny little mole near the bridge of her nose. She was quite conscious of it and tended to look at me askance or sit on a particular side of the sofa. Always made sure I approached her from an oblique angle... and didn't stare at it for more than half a second at a time.

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:23 pm

Pretty enough I guess. Not sure I'd leave my missus for her though. You should've gone to Specsavers.

by **Union Cane** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:26 pm

Do I need to be logged in to see anything?

by **Pal Joey** Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:28 pm

Had a quick look at her small photo in the search field. She looks really sweet, mate.

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu 03 Jul 2014, 12:31 pm

Thanks for the PM sean, but can someone please help me? I genuinely don't have ****book so I can't see her.

I know she's not 10/10 but that's what I like. Anyway fantasy over. What was for lunch?
