Usain Gayle

You got to be the real deal to strike the pose - today Chris Gayle was good enough.

Now he just needs to work on the elbow angle and getting 10 Aussie wickets.

A Fun Day Out

I got almost as much pleasure as Chris Gayle watching the proceedings at Adelaide yesterday. Great to see the Windies having a good day, showing a bit of character and getting the occasional giggle in.

It also took my mind of the  less than amusing Basin Reserve debacle.

Ross Taylor Reflects

And it might go something like this.

"Why did I not play a shot?"

"Am I an idiot?"

"Will Dan save us again?"

"Can Fulton score a run?"

"Are we really playing the same game as Sehwag?"

The Face Of The Sublime

No words are adequate or necessary.

Promotion Without Shame

Shorter than the Complete Works of Shakespeare!

Longer than a Donald Duck comic!!

Funnier than A Short History of Time!!!

Sexier than The Bedside Book of Birds!!!!

Check out Great Uncle Jrod's latest literary offering!!!!!

Any one who can make a misery guts like me laugh on an almost daily basis can't be a complete tosser!!!!!!

PS. If Freddy is Jesus you just know Sehwag must be God.

The Big Three Bend Down

Dravid, Laxman and Tendulkar at practice. How many time must these guys have hitched the whites, bent the knees and switched on? One of the hardest things for a long lived professional sportsman must be maintaining the enthusiasm for practice. I guess it is self selecting - if you can keep the focus you can keep getting the results, and these three have turned in the odd good result in the last 20 years.

The Lion Roars

Tim Bresnan lets it all out.

Great to see tourists expressing themselves in a foreign land and proving to critics such as myself that they can be competitive over winter. I do hope some one has warned them of the Sun City equivalent of the pedalo!
