He probably did.
Patawalonga Pirate was referring to an incident where Border and McDermott had a run in in England, I reckon.

18 straight (10 maidens in a row) and finished with match figures of 32 overs 18 maidens 4/30. To be fair it was about 20 degrees that day with plenty of cloud cover....

Cricket is a summer month. Its meant to be played in warm conditions. If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen. I thought Australians prided themselves as being tough and unbreakable (especially when it comes to cricket). HTFU CA.

24 overs 7/27 in a semi final..................................and we lost by a run. Chasing 131 we were 1/65 overnight. Worst cricket memory.

ouch, that would really hurt. we had the opposite - only managed to post 90 with the bat, then bowled them out for 71 to win the premiership

Well you held up your end of the deal!

Given the amount of drinks that are rushed onto the oval at any time why do we need to have planned drinks breaks, surely they can play 2 hours without a drinks break. Bowlers also go off the field most of the time after their spell. If the umpires need one they can get it from one of the teams runners.
They had 2 drinks breaks each session in Queensland, would easily lose 3 overs in that time, thats 9 a day

The accepted sports medicine consideration to maintain hydration, is a cup of fluid every 15-20 mins. On that basis a simple rule for the ICC to introduce:

Within 15 min of a scheduled break (start of play, lunch, tea, stumps of drinks breaks) no drinks or playing equipment to be brought on to the ground apart from a helmet for safety reasons (fast bowler brought on to replace a spinner).

Basically if play starts at 11 am, drinks are at 12 pm and lunch at 1 pm, the fluros can only run on with a drink betwenn 11:15 and 11:45 and 12:15 and 12:45.

Only time a drink can be brought outside those times is a fall of wicket.

Won't save all the time wasting but stops the stupid un-necessary drinks five mins from a sceduled break in play which is a pure time wasting ploy.

Played for my best mates team up in Queensland once, and he is a pretty good keeper. He did keep up to me and I do have a stumping to my name. Not that I'm proud of it haha.

Didn't soften the blow, we slipped to 9/90 something then the number 11 & me got us to 1 run to go and I got out caught at 2nd, I was skipper as well.
To make matters worse, I felt guilty after about my 20th straight so I took myself off and the lad I bought on went for 28 off of 3 so I came back on.

Cricket really is an amazing game where it's never over until the last ball is bowled. As much as it hurt and haunts me still when we talk about it, it was the best cricket lesson I've ever had, I was only about 20 at the time but I've enjoyed many premierships since as a player and coach, the cricket gods have been kind to me.

32 straight for me one day in partnership with another guy who bowled 29 straight

32 straight for you is 64 steps though . Not that my runup is much longer.

Correct. 1993 Ashes tour Border threatened to send him home. Captain Grumpy at his best.

P.S. McDermott did go home early... due to injury.
