Jack Hobbs: Dickensian Centreback 22:34 - Aug 26 with 3496 viewsDorse

The spotty oiks at Shoot are saying that we're after Jack Hobbs from Forest.

I think he sounds like the protagonist in a Dickens novel. Like Tom Huddlestone.

We have great expectations of Martin Chuzzlewit, recommended by our mutual friend young Copperfield.

Tell him it's a far far better thing that he does...Oi wait a bit! It doesn't sound Dickensian at all - more like an ancient cricketer?

Watched a fair bit of Barnsley v Everton earlier - cracking game with two organised, Lacey, committed teams passing and moving


The lad Roberts at the back for Barnsley looks a prospect. A very assured centre back and they seem to have a production line of them up there
I'd check him out with some regular scouting and if good consistently id purchase and loan him back rest of season
Said on comms Birmingham were sniffing

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

I can't seem to find Dickensia on my atlas?

Is it a EU country or will he need a work permit? I think I read something in the Mail about Dickensians eating swans once.

He'd be delighted that Wilshere minor has brought pipe-smoking back to professional sport, though the design for the mobile handset was clearly lost in 1930.

'Bloody Dickensians, coming over here, taking all our jobs, shagging our women, the stink of their cooking, giving decent folk rickets and scurvy. Makes me sick, it does. This used to be a nice area, you could leave yer back door open, people used to look out for each other, you know? I was only saying to Mr Malik, Mr Wong and Mr Rosenblatt at the Lesbian African Drumming group last Wednesday, we've lived here all our lives but just don't recognise this place any more.'

'Oh, botheration', exclaimed Hezekiah Drippycock, 'my laudanum induced lack of dexterous penile handling has occasioned the shameful splashing of my boots. Whatever is to be done?' The ammonia-tinged fog that clung to his legs in the freezing room of easement was a morose reminder of the foul humours that took his dear Chlamydia with consumption not three months past. But his was determined not to be unmanned by this unfortunate turn of events and, turning on his heel, he returned to the boisterous gin palace and opium den run by the Squench brothers...'

Ah. Jack Hobbs - 'The Master' - without doubt the greatest batsman England has ever produced. The gates at the Oval are well-named.

Hobbs and Rhodes, Hobbs and Gunn, Hobbs and Sandham...and, of course, Hobbs and Sutcliffe.

But always Hobbs. John Berry Hobbs.

Whether the great man would fancy a wet, windy afternoon in Rotherham or Middlesbrough, however, is another argument entirely...

I tried to find out who has been 12th man the most times, but it's hard to find. It might be Andy Bichel - 19 test starts for Oz plus 19 as 12th man. That's a lot anyway.
