SA vs. AUS

I don't really know what has happened, but the last time these two played each other, I hated them both equally and wanted them both to lose if possible. Now I find myself rooting for those damned, cheerless, god-bothering Proteas. Come on you Saffers! I hate Australian cricket more than I can adequately express. I think It's something to do with Hayden, Symonds, fucking Michael fucking Hussey and captain George W. Bush, as well as all those stupid no-name 29 year old bowlers who are all the bloody same. AAAAAHHHHH!

On sober reflection...

Overall, the last test match has left me feeling both good and bad. Good insofaras we competed on pretty much equal terms for most of the match with arguably the best team in the world, and were undone mainly by the genius of Sehwag and Tendulkar. Bad, because I think it is a reality check in that we played more or less as well as we can (or should) and that we just aint quite up there with the best. Whichever England player you criticise, there simply isn't an obviously better alternative. Moores needs to go, obviously, as he has not improved any part of this team or its performance whatsoever, and seems to be enveloped in stonewalling nonsense-speak. In our terms Pets, he is not a reflective practitioner.
Any road, we need a better coach and a decent spin-coach, but I don't think there's too much else we can do.

Charles in Charge

Just say no, Chris.  Chris?  I think we've lost him...

4 kilos?!

Jesus H. Corbett.

There are rays of hope and laughter in even the darkest times. I was perusing the sports section of the Times of India, and came across an article about how Australian cricketers probably would have followed the same security advice given to England. Marvellously, the headline was-
'Even Aussies would have returned to India'.

Gibbs

Have you seen that that cheating twat Herschelle Gibbs has been caught drink driving and been sent on an alcohol rehabilitation course for a month.

It's a shame they don't have a cheating south african twat rehabilitation course!  Eh?  Eh? Hilarious.

By the way, David Hopps had a go at me on the Guardian blog today for using the word 'disingenuous.'  Humph.
