Pizzlefeedback

Sometimes we get some comments from Loose Pizzles on the fringe.  Here are some of the recent words of wisdom, advice and abuse from around the globe...   If you want to add a comment, drop us a line here

It has been a while since we have had any feedback, then this tirade from Gary James arrived on 2 March 2000...

Fat arsed cheating teachers should be completely banned from ALL aspects of
highschool cricket
They are a menace to the game, just when ya think you've got the hairy arsed
little turds by their little semi developed nuts these cheating arsewipes
come in and completely spoil the fun!!!
FUCKERS!!!   MORRIS YA CUNT!!!  And you too Sev!!!

A nice message of support from some Pommy guy who stumbled across the website

Dear all,

 Hope that you are all well and that you are having a good season, both on the field and in the pub!

 I am the editor of the cricket news and miscellaneous section of the www.dmoz.org  search engine. Having looked at your site I reckon that you might want to keep the rest of the world up to speed with the form, and, more importantly the antics of Millard, Bevan and Dave the Pom.  I have played 2^nd Class cricket for Worcestershire, the hunting ground of the mighty Graeme Hick and am now playing in the Surrey League. Cricket is an important part of my life, BUT, I am not 127 years old, wear stupid hats, and drone on about the ' good old days'.  I go to Lords, BUT do not dribble into my pint of stout and comment about the length of Nasser's Stubble.

 I believe that the cricket game is not over until you've woken up on Sunday afternoon, naked, under the covers at the ground, a surprisingly comfy place to sleep in anticipation of the game the next day, OR was it just that I couldn't afford the cab fare after spending the last pennies on a pint of cider! I would love to hear from you and your colleagues about any more news that you might have, famous victories, stinking hangovers! Anything along those sort of lines would be fully appreciated.

 It is good to see that there are other drinkers out there who class cricket, as an integral part of beer! Me and my team mates would heartily agree!

 Look forward to hearing from you soon

David ( Burgo, Budgie etc.)

This came from the elusive Richard Hadley on 14 Feb 2000.  He got the date for the Pizzle reunion wrong by a month!  But we got a mention in his thesis, so that's nice...

I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it back to napier this weekend for the reunion game. I have a couple of job interviews coming up on the Friday and Monday. I'm trying to get home for the following week - I'll keep you posted.
Sorry that you guys won't get to experience hitting my bowling round the park!
Here's the excerpt from the acknowledgements page of my thesis:

"A special mention must be also made of my cricket team, the Napier Old Boys' Marist Senior Greens. Despite my continued absence they have allowed me to retain a place in their highly esteemed squad. Additionally, both their on- and off-field antics, communicated via the 'Pizzleweb', have been a continual source of comic relief."

From regular contributor Jeff Reid - 25 November 1999 (after viewing the Stu Gourdie/Webb Ellis Trophy photo)

Maybe you can start a competition.... The prize being Stu Gourdie and his
schoolboys for the night!!
Like...who are the Hairy Arse schoolboys sitting around the lead singer from
Simon and Garfunkel.....holding the William Webb Ellis Trophy?   or
How many times did Bevan puke in the main street of Napier on his Stag
night?
Some food for thought!!

From Jeff Reid - 9 November 1999

I can see this thing becoming bigger than "Ben Her"(This is the new
politically correct spelling). Maybe you should start to look at recruiting
from different parts of the world, or more importantly set up franchise
arrangements to take this "New beginning" GLOBAL. Franchising is probably
the way to go.
Don't forget to patent/copyright the PIZZLE name!
I look forward to the Ball by Ball commentaries, as I'm sure our
international visitors are!!

From Richard Brenton-Rule - 8 November 1999 (responding to the sight of this picture)

Bastard!!!
I hear the world market for All Black Undies (even size <12) has
capitulated in the last two weeks. Lukily I sold my shares several years
ago.....

From Jeff Reid  - 8 November 1999 (in response to the Pizzle Claim to Fame Page)

I don't think it is a claim to fame smashing an All Black which supposedly has "no balls".

Maybe the Pizzle team could front up with several hundred dollars in this
professional era to get Taine to bat at 10 and bowl 3rd string , now that he
has no future in rugby.

From Richard Brenton-Rule 7 November 1999 (making a fair comment too...)

Sensational reading.
How can that Reidy still be getting runs and bowling miserly at his age.
Is he the next Dave Browne?!!!

From Richard Hadley - 7 November 1999 (in response to the Loose 5 picture)

There must be good odds on one of the loose five being the first pizzle to wear the Loose Pizzle crown for the second time. The two shorter ones seem to be in the early running.

From Gary James - 2 November 1999 (after spotting an error on the fielding stats)

2 catches bucko!!!
took 2 at Frimley
SO THERE!!!               (I have now discovered that Gary is talking a load of arse.  The scorebook reveals that he only took one catch!)

From Harry Jones - 31 October 1999 (commenting on the weekend's match)

....we're as stiff as fuck after saturday, the ol' thigh muscles are squealing, and I have an embarassing bruise shaped like a cricket ball developing on my inner thigh!!!.....a beer seems to dull the pain a bit.

From Richard Hadley - 24 October 1999 (commenting on our superior run rate, yet narrow loss to Havelock Nth HS)

I apologise about the coaching by distance, but crikey - did some of you guys have a plane to catch after the Havelock game??

From Stu Gourdie - 21 October 1999 (sticks and stones... Pixie!)

You are a homosexual transvestite and you are batting no 10 on Saturday!

From Shahbaz Hussain (Pakistan) - 17 October 1999 (wanting to join the team as a "farst bowler")

Sir i have play cricket in pakistan, and now i want to play from your club,
Basically i am Farst Bowler. Please tell me your procedure for
entering in your club. I have been playing from County Cricket Club
in Lahore. I have been also played from Govt Civil-Line College Lahore.

From Richard Hadley - 14 October 1999 (on why he is not available until December)

Unfortunately, I am a useless good for nothing bastard. My hand in date is Dec 15 and I'm going to need every hour in between now and then (and then some more). To sum up my work, the two months that are left, are in my particular situation the thesis equilvalent of an all nighter!!!
Therefore, I have to apologise for my absence from the first half of the season, but I will be available for selection in the second half.  As a sign of sincerity the team will be mentioned in the acknowledgements page of my thesis.
Cheers
Rich

From another Dave the Pom (are they all called Dave?) - 28 September 1999

                                              ANOTHER POM DAVE...LEEDS..ENGLAND    

From Scottish Ken - 14 September 1999 (just saying "hello" - check his entry on the Pizzle 98 list)
   
Thanks for the inclusion on the mailing list, looking forward to being
updated. Trust all is well, heard that your club rooms are no longer and you are
now using the boozer for meetings. Damn!!!!!
I have been playing a bit of cricket over the summer, I have recaptured
my form that was oh so lacking on my debut in NZ.

Speak soon

From Duane Knowles - 6 September 1999 (after the infamous Reido's Bierfest)

I see in the Pizzle page that Gazza broke the coveted trophy again.  What on
earth's he up to?                                     You can see what he's up to here

From Jeff Reid - 18 August 1999 (after discovering Pizzleweb '99 for the first time...)

Extremely informative!!!!      Pity about the cricket side though..... Do you ever think that one day my
company may give up the rights to sponsor the Black Caps and change to the
Clear Pizzle Cricket Team. Obviously the rude photo's did not go through.
Happy surfing!!!!

From Duane's mate Iain O'Brien - 2 May 1999 (obviously quite willing to spill the beans...)

yes that is me.. the golfer..  I will keep you informed of little things Duane may not tell you......  Ask him about the 19 yr old and his Hickies  hehehehehe

From Piyush Patel - 5 March 1999 (you MUST read this one!! He is NOT joking!)

Dear Sir, It gives me an immence pleasure corresponding with you. As a
matter of fact, I never had the privilege of corresponding with such
an eminent personality like you. I sincerely hope would spare a little
of your precious time to go through this letter.
As for my introduction there is not much to be written about
except for the fact that i am more than a cricket enthsiast and have
dwelt deep inside into a world of cricket. And this is what has
compelled me to pen down a few words to you. AS things stand today,
cricket is gradually immerging has an internationally acknowledge
sport & i dont see any reason for it not taking this expected shape.
My pridiction is that in the near future cricket is going to be played
in almost every nook & corner of the globe. Sir to tell you the truth
tend to follow up on virtually evry game (match) that is played
anywhere. This has led me to stumble upon a novel discovery that i am
sure would make th elikes of Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Wasim
Akram, & Allan Donald, Sit up & think. Infact this invention of mine
would virtually force the entire cricket community to think the way
they never thought before it has the potential of shaking whole of
international cricket fraternity and compel them to do a bit of
introspection.
Honorable Sir, I do not wish to go into the finer aspects of
this concept of mine, As it would be almost impossible to you to
believe what i am talking about. You will have to watch it in order to
believe it. At present, I have already given my live demonstration &
concept to Mr. NITIN SHIRODKAR (Chairman of Khr Gymkhana, Bombay,
India.), companion to Mr. MOHINDER AMARNATH (Legend of Indian Cricket
Team). unluckily Mr. AMARNATH have not seen my concept due to
unfaithfulness of Mr.SHIRODKAR.
As Mr. SHIRODKAR already admit of my concept as well as his
students present over there, were impressed & accepted it is
unbelievable thing in the world of cricket, And Mr.SHIRODKAR have
spoked that I have got best quality for cricket. But I dont know why
himself have avoided me. And also have not give any answer against,
Mr.PRAVIN BARVE (Secretary of M.I.G. CLUB of kalanagar, Bandra,
Bombay, India.) Which was recommended by Mr.SANDEEP PATIL (Legend of
Indian Cricket Team) Believe me, I have not taken any practice as well
as any
coaching from any of CRICKET ACADEMY, COACHES CLUB ETC. I have not
even asked any person to teach me out what is China Man spin, Strokes,
Drives, Hook Shot, Foot Work Etc.
I also challenge that I can do any thing in the world of
cricket against any of the HONORABLE LEGEND OF CRICKET, I ensure you
though I have not studiedall about cricket from any of the cricket
authorities. JUST WATCHING TELEVISION MATCHES. It willbe an NINTH
WONDER of the world that is impossible to the legends that a person
who have not attempt to any academy nor any domestic cricket as well
as ranji tropy & club matches.
Please dont think I am Joking, i have done so far , & It is my
DEDICATION of my life to cricket.
While seeing my concept practically they are not believing me
in INDIA, So I am forcing yourself to give me a chance to break the
record in the cricket field I am ready to give practical demonstration
against you at any time. I am eagerly awaiting a positive responce from
you.
Thanking you, Regards.
PIYUSH PATEL.

From a Taradale Hairy-arsed Schoolboy - 26 February 1999 (he's got things a bit confused - we were in a different grade last year...)
