The M Word

I'm sorry, I thought I was over it but it still annoys me, so here goes.

• My mother always said " if you don't want to be called a fool, don't behave like one".
• When I think of the names I have been called and have called others on a sporting field I just can not believe that the sensitive new age aussies can be so easily upset - is this the first cracks appearing?
• How can he not be embarrassed to be named M(an) of the M(atch)?
• I have a new term of endearment for our excitable friend, in the not very famous words of Frank Zappa - "Yes I thought he was a man but he was a muffin."

Tomorrow is another day so perhaps I will be better by then.

Hubris and Karma

One day, Ricky Ponting, one day.

Mr Grumpy

This would make for an ideal caption contest. This test could become one of the most talked about and contentious test match draws, with a large number of reputations under scrutiny, both players and umpires.

Played!

Well played Mr Singh. Does this not have draw all over it or are we in for more twists?

Club Day

Sometimes I need to remind myself there is more to cricket than action replays and over paid egos.

This is for all the club cricketers with somewhat suspect technique and a heap of enthusiasm.

It's Just Wrong

I am not an Indian supporter.
I understand that these things are supposed to even out - but rarely do in Australia.
I know they are paid professionals whose livelihoods depend on success.
But somethings are just wrong!

Celebrating like you won lotto when you know you were out once, and suspect you were out a second time and heaven help me are about to get another break in a few overs, is just wrong.

The NFL have got it right. 2 challenges per innings. Don't tell me it slows the game down because we stop on a constant basis for damn near everything else, making things fair should be a priority otherwise why the hell should I or anyone else bother watching.

Serenity

A peaceful, tranquil cricket scene, displayed to calm the nerves of all those concerned supporters of Indian cricket.

Trust me fellas, the SCG will be nothing like this!

Use the Force Luke!

When you have a name like Luke Pomersbach (bash?) and you can swing the willow as seen here, then it should be a direct entry into the big time.

Perhaps he could be saved up as a secret ashes weapon of the future.
