Ugh, I'm so nostalgic for the 90s already ๐Ÿ™„... I mean, Duncan Spencer's story is actually pretty inspiring, you know? It's like, he was this super talented cricketer who just couldn't seem to catch a break, but then he finds a new passion in coaching and makes it work. That's like, the ultimate comeback story, right?

And I feel for the guy, because 158kph is like, crazy fast ๐Ÿคฏ... I can only imagine what it would be like to bowl at that speed, even if you're struggling with consistency.

But what really gets me is how he's remembered as one of the "great shames" of cricket history ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Like, who even comes up with that? It's not like he was a bad player or anything... it's just that his talent went unnoticed during his playing career.

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that Duncan Spencer's story is a reminder that success can come in unexpected ways, and that perseverance and hard work really do pay off. Even if you don't achieve your original dreams, you can still make an impact and leave a lasting legacy ๐ŸŒŸ.
 
just read about this aussie cricketer duncan spencer... 157kph fast bowling speed ๐Ÿ˜ฎ what's crazy is how he struggled with consistency & rhythm but still managed to make an impact in the game ๐Ÿค” he's an inspiration for all those aspiring cricketers out there who wanna pursue their passion no matter what ๐Ÿ’ช
 
idk why ppl r so down on spencer tho...he had some good yrs & helped out younger players, thats still somethin ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ, seems like he got a bit unlucky w/ his national team shot, but hey, at least he's still remembered & celebrated 4 his skills & contributions to the game ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
man i just saw this crazy video of a guy eating a entire pizza by himself in like 10 seconds ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ˜ฑ i know it sounds weird but its actually kinda impressive how fast he can chow down on that pie i mean id love to try and beat his record one day but im pretty sure my stomach would be protesting ๐Ÿ˜‚ anyway back to cricket...i wonder if they have any pizza parties at the aussie cricket team's training sessions ๐Ÿค”
 
๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ I mean, you gotta feel bad for this bloke, right? Spent his whole career trying to master that 158kph bowler, and still couldn't quite get it together. But the thing is, he never gave up. He went on to do some great work as a fitness coach and helped others achieve their goals... kinda makes you wanna root for him, ya know? ๐Ÿค
 
๐Ÿค” I donโ€™t usually comment but... Duncan Spencer's story is really inspiring, you know? He was like a total underdog in the cricket world ๐Ÿ, but he never gave up on his dreams. And can you believe he went on to have a successful career as a fitness coach? Itโ€™s like, his passion for the game didnโ€™t die out after he couldnโ€™t play anymore ๐Ÿ™Œ.

I feel like we could all learn from his example. We get stuck in our ways and give up on our goals when things get tough ๐Ÿ’”, but Spencer shows us that it's never too late to chase your dreams again โฐ. And yeah, he was definitely a talented cricketer, clocked at 158kph thatโ€™s crazy fast ๐Ÿ˜ฒ!

I donโ€™t know about the "great shame" thing though... maybe he just wasn't ready for the big leagues or something ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ? Either way, his legacy lives on and we can all take away some valuable life lessons from his story ๐Ÿ’•.
 
I'm so over people saying talent just doesn't manifest itself... Duncan Spencer's story shows us that with enough grind & hustle, we can still make it happen no matter what ๐Ÿ™Œ. I mean, his 158kph bowling speed is straight fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ! What I love about this story is how he didn't let his struggles define him - instead, he used them to become a fitness coach and help others out ๐Ÿ˜Š. We should all be inspired by his determination & perseverance ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
Ugh man I'm getting chills just thinking about this guy's journey ๐Ÿคฏ... he poured his heart out for cricket and still got snubbed at the national level ๐Ÿค•... can you even imagine? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ And now his legacy lives on through the youngins he helped as a coach ๐Ÿ’ช... it's like, his story is proof that you're never too old to shine, but sometimes life just gets in the way โฐ... Duncan Spencer might've been overlooked by the big boys during his playing days, but his impact on the game is still being felt ๐Ÿ™Œ... what a reminder to us all that it's not about how we're perceived by others, but about staying true to ourselves and keeping the fire burning ๐Ÿ”ฅ
 
I'm not surprised he didn't make it to the Aussie team, I mean, 158kph is like trying to do a marathon on one leg while balancing a pizza ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚! But for real though, it's awesome that he found success in another area of cricket and as a fitness coach. It just goes to show you can't keep a good cricketer down ๐Ÿ˜Š. I mean, who needs recognition when you've got passion and skills right? That's like being a superhero without the cape ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ, still flying high!
 
I'm not sure about all this fuss over Duncan Spencer ๐Ÿค”. I mean, he was fast bowler, no doubt, 158kph is insane! ๐Ÿ‘ But did he really go unnoticed? I think it's a bit of an exaggeration. He played for Western Australia and Sussex, that's not exactly the top level of cricket, you know? ๐Ÿ˜ And yeah, he struggled with consistency, but didn't everyone at some point in their career? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ It just seems like a nice feel-good story to me, you know? ๐Ÿ’• Not that I'm saying it's not inspiring or anything.
 
idk how ppl r still talkin bout spencer bein underrated lol he was fast & had skills but struggled with rhythm thats not exactly a bad thing btw his fitness coaching stint r awesome he helped kids improve their game that's what matters most not just about him bein good at cricket anyway i think its cool 2 see ppl pursuein passion even after failure
 
OH MY GOSH, I'M SO INSPIRED BY DUNCAN SPENCER'S STORY!!! ๐Ÿคฉ HE'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW HARD WORK AND DEDICATION CAN PAY OFF, EVEN WHEN THINGS DON'T GO AS PLANNED. I MEAN, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR THEIR FAST BOWLING SKILLS BUT STILL FIND SUCCESS IN ANOTHER FIELD? IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS AND THAT YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT'S AROUND THE CORNER!
