This is an old funny post!!! Just only look at the date!!! from 2001, the early days.

And then the post itself is also very funny!!

My favourite is the classic Brian Johnston quote:

"The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey"

Another funny one is about a female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked, "So Bob, where's that eight inches you promised me last night?" Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!
