Piers Morgan

You do realise who's bowling at him?

It was all a bit stupid really. Morgan was trying to suggest the English batters were soft and so thought charging out of his crease was needed to prove his point although not sure the resulting broken rib proved that.

Also Lee was at least a foot over on the deliveries you could see and probably all of them. I'm not sure if Lee was trying to bowl high and wide to avoid Morgan at first but he kept walking into the ball. All this was before Phil Hughes of course.

Yeah I know all that. I just don't understand how anyone can say he's shit at cricket because he couldn't get bat on ball against one of the best fast bowlers in history.

Yeah I was sort of in agreement - perhaps should have replied to the post you replied to - very difficult to say one way or the other because I'd hope he'd not bat like that normally, he was trying to prove his point, but maybe that also suggests he ain't good with the bat.

Fair point, I know the calibre of bowler he was facing, as I follow the game, and my
'Shit' description was a tad strong. Although dancing halfway up the wicket against
such an attack isn't recommended, and leaping about 5 foot to one side is not what I've
seen Lara do. Still, it takes cojones, I was a decent bowler, but average to shit batsman and
no way would I have fronted up this bloke, fuck that for a game of cricket;)
 
The only batsman I have seen give fast bowlers the charge was Brian Close. The battery of Windies quicks were reducing England to rubble. Close was recalled to the side and proceeded to counter the short ball by charging and taking it on the side of his body. The papers later had photos of a fine array of bruises. His tactics divided opinion but were reasonably successful.

I remember this. Brian Close was a legend, so brave and a great batsman

Yep, I remember this too, by the fuck, he was as hard as nails was Brian,
and he was the youngest player to play for England.
Such a pity he was a Yarksheer twat ;)
 
Rudy Guilliani exposes the fat mouthpiece as a failed journalist peddling a phoney narrative. You can't handle the truth Piers
 
Sounded like he said sucked up to me but obviously that doesn't fit with Morgan and his side candy in trying to make him look unhinged.

I've rewound it and played it a few times,can't tell for certain,but I think he did say sucked,he was ranting that much and talking too fast really,animated was an understatement,but put that dickhead in his place for sure,and it was coming,he'd get the same if he ever strikes lucky with anyone of a political stature in this country,hence why they avoid him and his sidekick
 
Piers later says people told him that Rudy had lost his marbles
So he defames him when he’s off air as he tore him apart on air
Typically tabloid editor lying to deflect
